The Clash

Αρκετά μονότονο θα ελεγα. Δεν ξεχώρισα κάποιο κομμάτι. Ενώ γενικά αγαπώ κάποια από τα κομμάτια τους.

Really enjoyed this album. Only heard a few songs from it previously so great to finally give it a full listen

Markan 4 Sara 4

liked this! there’s a lot more thought put into it than other punk albums of the time. easy for all the songs to sound the same but they’re all interesting and unique. bass lines are sweet.

Great record. Not my favorite of theirs but still fantastic.

ive never gone this far back in the clash's discography some very foundational punk music, super raw great groovy melody, had me bobbing my head the whole song me too man, me too i love how fast paced this album is, its so fun to listen to another very raw song my name is bryce the punk era was something special, i can just turn off my brain and enjoy all of this londons burning, good riddance very powerful messaging in this song, "but music shouldnt be political" i love how much energy they pack into all these 2 minute songs tiny taste of a solo in here, but theres really just no time for it to go anywhere unfortunately 6 minute punk song? they must have some shit to say. they do indeed, i love how bold and straightforward they are in their messaging. surely NO ONE could miss the political stances that so many punk artists take in their music, right? i like how theres a bit more time for the intruments to shine on this song 48 hours first time ive ever heard a harmonica anywhere near a punk song. gerrage the clash's debut has that unpolished, raw feel that you'd expect from any band trying to get their foot in the door of the music industry, but i dont think it takes away from the project at all. in fact i think it actually adds to it. the unpolished vocals and distorted guitars help to amplify all the various political messages of this album and the problems they are tackling are unfortunately still relevant today. this album has some great messaging while still being a blast to listen to, im giving it a 7.5

The Clash is only kind of a punk band as they seem to genre hop a bit. Not saying they are not canon or great, but different than say a more deeply committed strictly punk band. They are more melodic and kind of hard rock in a way. yet they hold the line as a punk band mostly, with these outlets now and then. (my favorite songs on this album do this little genre skipping thing actually). Maybe it is this unique feature that makes them rather more timeless, or that most of the stuff they cover still matters today. Anyway, it is definitely a good listen and worth the bother!

For something from 1977 still feels modern to me. Catchy pieces I would probably like even more if I knew them by heart. "48 hours" needs 48 thrills. "Career Opportunities" - oy, oy, oy, oy. Feels like songs that need a crowd screaming them or at singing along at the top if your lungs and not so much just listening to. I liked "Police and Thieves" and it has a bit of reggae.

Clash geht inmer

Super, ich liebe sie wegen "London Calling", die hier gefällt mir auch sehr.

Formative

This album fucks!!

The Clash sound different to the rest of the punk bands of the 70s. They're a lot more melodic without moving completely outside punk’s recipe of stepped-back simplicity. Musically, it makes them much more interesting. Sure, it still fits in nicely with the punk scene. The lyrics are charged with socio-political anger, and the vocals are snarled and sneered. But it's not just bursts of power-chords. There are hooks and countermelodies woven through them. “Deny” is maybe the most obvious example. Mick Jones throws out interesting lead guitar fills that really help boost the melody of the song. And then there's the unexpected cover of “Police & Thieves”. A six minute reggae song, this is a real preview of the direction The Clash would lean more into in future albums, a sound that really helped them stand out in my opinion. I don't usually go back to listen to these first two albums, I'd tend to jump straight to “London Calling”. But this is a great album too. They get a lot more out of the deliberate restrictions of the punk archetype than other bands at the time. But saying all of that, it's not academic. It's instinctive. It just makes sense when you hear it.

Excellent - really good album - not quite as good as London Calling in my view, but still very impressive

Enjoyable.

Sums up the depressing times which forged it pet well. 4

Anarchy in the UK is coming sometime maybe….

piola, hay escencia

I first heard them in the very early 80s. Thought they should’ve sounded more punk, more raw. This album is exactly that.

A great harbinger of the awesomeness to come from them.

Bangers, top to bottom

мне зашло

This is likely one of, if not the most influential albums in punk rock. Its impact can be heard in numerous bands that followed and had a large influence with the music that became synonymous with skate culture. It takes me back to my youth and remains a bit of a guilty pleasure, even though I'm well beyond my “skater” years. It probably deserves a 5 star rating based on its influence and legacy, but I'm going with a 4 because it's the kind of album you need to be in the mood for.

Great punk album, strong energy that never tapers. I might prefer this to London Calling tbh. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

3.5

This was great - very punchy

Very catchy, high energy, a lot of fun!

This was great i reckon, fun angry accents!

Sonically, I’ve always loved The Clash but I have to admit it’s like 97% all vibes for me. I get swept up in the guitars and the head banging beats and have never really scratched beneath the surface of their sound. I imagine if I did, I’d unlock something even greater but man I’m just having too much fun bopping along. Cheat was a real highlight for me here

so good! Wasn't familiar with any specific songs off this album as compared to their later stuff but what an impressive debut. The energy on all of the punk records we've had is amazing. they just get you going. also loved reading about some of the political context for this album. I think Janie Jones and Remote Control were my favourites but they were also at the start of the album so perhaps especially novel

Classic!

Album #170: The Clash – The Clash ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A bit of an easier one today after a tough review for Adele yesterday. This is classic punk music and I love punk music. I don’t necessarily love The Clash as much as I love bands like the Sex Pistols, or maybe more American proto-punk stuff, but I do like this album. Funnily enough, for one of the great original punk bands, I actually prefer their later stuff, where they started messing around with different genres and styles a bit more. Stuff like Combat Rock and Sandinista! I think are more interesting albums to listen to. This is, for the most part, very straightforward punk, and it’s fantastic. Especially the first four or five songs. All heavy hitters. The middle has some very good deep cuts too. Deny might be my favourite song on the album, and it’s a song I always come back to, but not one that comes up very often when people are talking about The Clash. Objectively, this is probably a five because it’s such an important album. But I’m going to go subjectively here because I don’t love all the songs on it. I don’t particularly liks Cheat. I think it’s kind of an annoying song to listen to, even if I agree with the sentiment behind it, and behind most of the album. Funnily enough, my two favourite songs on the album are Police & Thieves, where they mix reggae into their style and which is a complete outlier from the rest of the album, and Garageland, which is less punk and more straightforward rock and roll. I think it’s quite telling that I prefer the less punk stuff they do to the more melodic and brighter stuff. So I think they had better things to come after this album. But if somebody told me this was a perfect 10/10, five-star album, I wouldn’t argue with them either.

janie jones this is fun i enjoy remote control singers voice has a very specific vibe that i feel like i hear all the time in this era of music i have no idea what said era is sounds like the kind of thing we’d play in my secondary school band hate and war what it says on the tin 48 hours enjoying the opening this album is probably a four. i’m enjoying it but it’s not blowing me away. i’m so bored with the usa lol

i shouldn't be suprised that these are all absolute classics but yet I am every time. this one's the buzz you get when you're leaving a protest. 4.1/5

I wouldn't listen to this today, but I can totally see the appeal in 1977. Great album!

it was REALLY good i loved it some songs were mid but most were amazing great album

I liked Jamie Jones I want to listed to it again Makes me want to listen to The Clash 3.75

Sometimes you need a shot of old fashioned punk rock and The Clash delivers. Not all the songs are good, but you know within two minutes another better track starts.

The Clash self-titled is going to sound a lot different than if you only know them from London Calling or "Rock the Casbah". This is a more gritty, DIY sound that's the hallmark of punk. And like all good punk, it focuses on the social issues and the downtrodden. The lack of polish is what makes this closer to ideal punk than their later albums. A treat.

Great 1st album by a great band

It makes me laugh to think that I was "afraid" of this when it came out. I was a middle teen, and instead of listening to music that made me feel exactly how I was feeling, I was still into safer entertainment. It wasn't till college that I realized what I was truly missing. Not that I was ever deep into the punk scene, but I was super thrilled to discover the early 80's alternative sound and did deeper dives from there. This was a fun one to listen to again, as it's been many years since I've played the album. I still think that London Calling is their masterpiece, but they had much of the framework for that in their debut. There are no misses on this, but my favorites are I'm so Bored with the USA (yes I am), Deny, London's Burning, Police & Thieves, and Garageland.

¿Qué pasaria si los Ramones si fueran más punk? R: Esto

Another college album for me, like The Jam (this album came out in spring of 1977, about 18 months before All Mod Cons). Like The Jam, The Clash didn't really cross my path until freshman year of college (fall '80 - spring '81), shortly after The Clash's "London Calling" album had been released. *That* album had a big influence on me (my dorm buddies, too), and then led me back to this album. Luckily, one of the Mikes (who both now live in Atlanta) had both this album and London Calling. Like with All Mod Cons, I didn't tape the whole album (London calling, though - I taped the whole thing). Which means I know four of the songs really well, the others not so much. I still like the ones I taped best, but of course I've heard them a lot more, over the years: Remote Control, I'm So Bored w/ the USA, Career Opportunities, and Police and Thieves (cover of Junior Murvin's reggae classic, which had been released only the year before) . The more basic punk songs (by The Clash, and others) tended (tend) to bore me, a little, though I appreciated at least some of what I suspected/knew they were trying to do/convey. But even with this first album (and much more so w/ London Calling), The Clash were moving beyond that. I think this album is 4 stars, London Calling (to tip my hand) 5.

Great debut album, but they only get better. 4 stars so I can justify giving 5 stars to the later ones that are sure to come up.

Great punk album, added to my collection

"The Clash" by The Clash is one of the strongest debut album of all time. This album is just aggressive, high energy punk music with short fast paced songs.Most of the lyrics are related with political and social themes. The guitar riff and vocal performance from the band were wonderful. There are a lots of standout tracks for me, "Janie Jones", "I'm so Bored with the U.S.A.", "Career Opportunities", "Police & Thieves" (a cover song) and many more. There is not even a single tracks that I feel downgrade than others. This album keeps your head banging for every minute. Overall wonderful debut album by the Clash. And one of the greatest punk album of all time. But if you compared it with their masterpiece album " London Calling" than it feel downgrade from their discography.

There's something here. I didn't fully jive with it, but these guys were cooking something unique for sure.

There’s a lot of lousy early punk on this list. This one rips.

kurde blacha fajny ten rock jednak nwm taki spoczko jest narazie skończyłam na „what’s my name” resztę jutro przesłucham bo nie mam dzisiaj już czasu no ogl album jest spoko tylko ze nie lubie rocka wiec dla mnie nie bedzie niczym "wow" ale ogl jest bardzo fajny, jak go slucham to czuje sie jakbym byla w jakims starym filmie powiedziałabym że jest to dobry poczatek w strone rocka ocena : 3,5/5 (ale nie mozna dawac polowek wiec dam 4 na 5)

✸ I can't believe how many absolute bangers and classics are on this album: I'm So Bored with the U.S.A, White Riot, London's Burning, Career Opportunities, etc. ✸ Wait, I forgot about "What's My Name" Love it.

My dad had a subscription to Rolling Stone magazine and liked reading the album reviews to see if he was missing out on any new music. He was a bit of a risk taker so, often he would buy an album based on the review and if he didn’t like it, he would give it to me. That’s how I got The Clash and London Calling. I think he got both because he couldn’t remember which one was reviewed or the London Calling review was so good, he took a chance… anyway, he didn’t like it. He didn’t buy any punk records after that, but I liked it and I bought punk records. I already had a couple of Ramones records. Dad probably regretted giving me those Clash records, but if he did, he didn’t mention it. He was more concerned about Metal for some reason. It was the 80s and there was all that satanic panic nonsense…. I reassured him I wasn’t a master of the dark arts, and that was the end of it. None of this has anything to do with the Clash’s first album which I said I like… not as much as London Calling, but it’s still very good. 4.5

Love this.

Still vital, even today. Particularly the last three or four songs really show off the melodic strengths of the band. Paul Simonon's bass playing is already strong throughout. They're not yet at their peak on this one, but it's still very good. 4/5 because it's not even their own peak. But honestly, having listen to 321 of these to date (29% of the way there!), it's still worth recognizing the quality here. Addendum: I listened to this again on a road trip, two days later. Great album and these are clearly the best of the British punks of '77. Sex Pistols be damned (and the Damned were better than them, anyway).

A nice bit of raucous classic punk, marred by the existence of The Clash's later records. Listening to this when I've already heard London Calling (not as part of the project, just previously) is like comparing a C1 Corvette to a C2. The first is an admittedly great roadster/sports car mix, but the second is the split-window that was driven by astronauts. I'd be more interested in hearing what someone without the context of London Calling and later Clash in general thinks of this record compared to my admittedly dulled ears.

De por sí ya me gusta bastante the clash pero no me he escuchado ese álbum. Después de escucharlo me gustó bastante aveces sonaba a los sex pistols pero eso le daba un toque, muy buen álbum con varias canciones que hablan sobre política lo cual me llamó aún más la atención del álbum.

A brilliant, ripping record. You can trace entire genres back to this one moment — hell, when Joe Strummer sings “d’ya think I’m a raving idiot” is more dangerous and thrilling than the entire Fontaines DC catalogue. There’s so much anger and disillusionment at a broken Britain, but also energy and drive to make things better, to organise, to stay aware of what is happening around you.

Still hated the US back then n all.

Gut zum hören. Anfang und Ende Stark, mittlerer Teil etwas weaker. Und vielleicht etwas Eintönig

Short & powerful. Might not be as great as London Calling, but still, what a debut. Fantastic album.

Perhaps the best album of punk's initial explosion. Most of the songs are two minute blink-and-you'll-miss-it tunes typical of the genre, but there is much more depth than most contemporaries imo. The lyrics really deal with the frustrations of being young, working class, and left wing, in 1970s London, including race relations, police oppression, and unemployment in vivid ways. London Calling will do that in a more polished way, but a very strong debut.

Though they would branch out and refine their sound on the epic double album 'London Calling'. This album is a great document of the raw energy of the punk scene in London. Songs like 'White Riot', 'Cheat' and 'Police and Thieves' serve as reminders of why they were one of the best bands to come out of that scene.

Incalculably significant to punk rock, this is a fantastic debut album from one of the genre’s greatest bands. All of its fourteen tracks are at the very least very good, and some are truly excellent. If I was going by historical significance it would undoubtedly be getting 5 stars. And yet, even though I like every song, it’s only a 4 for me personally. I really struggle to really say why, however. Perhaps it suffers by comparison with their masterpiece, ‘London Calling’, and I’m sure it also sounds tamer and less original listening in 2026 than it did in 1977.

Right from the very beginning The Clash were always so much more than just another punk band. At face value this album isn't anything too special, and to be fair, on its own it isnt. But knowing what this band would later achieve lets you listen to this album in a completely different way. It still has the same rawness, energy, and anger that you would want out of a punk album, but the depth is truly what sets this one apart, both musically and lyrically. The social commentary feels a lot more genuine and well thought out, all the while being delivered by some of the most charismatic vocals in the genre. Music wise, it does feel a bit same-y I'll admit, but for an album this short I don't think it's massively important. Either way it's still 35 minutes of pure punk energy, even if it technically isn't the most sophisticated.

The Clash were always the best punk band, and apart from the genre. The apartness made them the best. This debut established those qualities. The Clash had punk’s anger on a micro and macro level. The boredoms and frustrations that led youth to embrace, and make, the music. The downtrodden socio-economic and political circumstances of pre-Thatcher Great Britain also get addressed. The sheer speed of the rockabilly crazed meets The Who level volume plays a prominent role in most songs. Yet The Clash did not seek to offend and appall. I do not feel gobs of spit emitting from this record like The Sex Pistols or Dead Boys. It thankfully lacks the cartoonish yelps, lyrics and appearance of the Pistols. Talk show hosts will point their fingers at Johnny Rotten and Sid Vicious, and kids will dress up like them for Halloween, not Paul, Mick and Joe. What The Clash sacrifices in ecstatic release, it makes up for in brilliant consistency. Fourteen songs, with nary a bummer in the group. The group burns hot with the “true punk” trio of “White Riot”, “London’s Burning” and “Remote Control.” Signs of the more measured, varied and subtle songwriting of London Calling were already apparent. “Janie Jones”, “Hate and War” and my personal favorite, “Garageland”, ease back on the gas pedal to include the band’s trademark “Ah, ah, ah” backing vocals to add to the tunefulness. I also noticed how many songs start with the chorus, or at least the title of the song. The method contributed to the news bulletin effect of the songs. It also reminded me of how startling and effective the chorus first approach was on The Beatles “Help.” On London Calling, The Clash managed to pull off the delicate balance of variety without taking away from the power of their amped up style. To expect that ability on a debut would be asking a great deal. Putting out one of the ultimate records in a genre is more than enough for a first record.

Good energy, clearly the beginning of punk in Britain. Foot tapping, short songs, quick listen, liked it.

Can't believe I enjoyed this as much as did

It’s quite surprising really that such a straightforward and simplistic sound could shake up the establishment. By the numbers straight up rock n roll with an umpf I know punk was more an attitude than a sound or esthetic. But then again this project has highlighted to me how bland and bloated some of the 70s boomer rock was in 70s - looking at you (steely) Dan and Clapton, et al

Que espectáculo! Tão bom!!

I haven't really listened to The Clash other than London Calling but this is pretty dang solid for a debut album. Just aggressive, high energy 70s punk with short, fast-paced songs and the track list is just stacked. The bass line on "What's My Name" is awesome and I remember "White Riot" from playing Tony Hawk's Underground back in the day, and man, it still hits with that exact same burst of raw, high-speed energy that makes you want to run through a wall. "Janie Jones" kicks things off with a fantastic, urgent punch, and their cover of "Police & Thieves" introduces a really cool reggae rhythm that shows they weren't just a one-trick punk band. "Career Opportunities" has such an infectious, shouting chorus that gets stuck in your head for days, while "London's Burning" carries a gritty, driving intensity that perfectly captures a chaotic city vibe. It is a loud, incredibly fun album where almost every single song has a memorable hook. The deeper cuts feel a little rough but honestly that's half the charm anyway. Favorite song: "What's My Name"

Not sure I've ever listened to this all the way through, though I think I was familiar with nearly all the songs. First listen-through I thought it was a little same-y; later and louder listens I thought it was better and less repetitive. Garageland was the track I didn't know well that felt like a standout. I preferred the UK tracklist to the US version, which felt more like a singles compilation (which it kinda was), with varying recording and production levels, even though the US version replaces a few weaker tunes with better ones. Definite classic, but not as great as London Calling, so I'm on the fence between 4 and 5. 4.5/5

o suco do punk raiva, rebeldia, revolta critica pertinente em todos os tempos prova de q um "marginal" pensa ate mais q um "civilizado"

Good

Pretty dang good. Although my favorite album of theirs is London Calling. Bold statement, I know. Uhhhhh, are the lyrics in White Riot problematic? Or just clumsy class struggle and solidarity something something?

Great! I don’t know this Clash as well as some of the others, but it stands up well next to them.

Pretty good. The “oh yeah”s and “woo-oo” were always weird to me.

London Calling is a favorite of mine, but I've never listened to The Clash's debut album (at least not all the way through). Their sound was so well realized already. Some great tracks, a quintessential punk record, and a good showcase of their songwriting ability. I love their use of politics, one that feels grounded in reality, in real frustration, and not just contrarianism.

Not my favorite Clash album but still good punk.

Imagine this being your debut album... Fuckin class.

Yay

It's early punk, but you can hear the experimentation of the clash start to come through a little bit. Solid album, if not the most memorable

Classic original punk album. Still feels kind of fresh but super vintage all at the same time. Maybe it’s the topics and decent mixes. 4.0/5.0

A very good debut album by this band. Many songs 🎵 showcasing their talents with bigger things to come.

I need to buy this

4/5

Seek out the original album on YouTube vs the somewhat leaden remaster on the streaming services and hear the crisp, brittle charm of songs like "Remote Control" abut the broken glass sentiments of "I'm So Bored with the U.S.A." and that kind of thing throughout the whole album. It points to the larger ambitions the band would manifest and yet is still a fun and meaningful little punk record.

One of my favs from high school. Their most “punk” release for sure

An early punk record that really encapsulates the feel and energy the genre is now for. Such a fun listen, short and sweet - well maybe not so sweet; that's not very punk. Fav Songs White Riot Janie Jones I'm so Bored with the U.S.A. Is it Top 1001 Worthy (is it essential)? Yes, while it's not London Calling, that don't make it any less influential. If you want an engaging punk album, this is it

Fun and short.

Listened to this in the gray drizzling rain on my way to watch the England-Ghana match. Proper good day

US version is definitely the stronger of the 2 releases. Great songwriting.

356/1001 The Clash - s/t Heard before? ✅ Revisit? ✅ One of the best debuts and an album where you could already see where they could head next. Great stuff.

Not quite their best, but still a hell of a debut. An absolute blast of fresh air after the bland dross that I got previously from the 1001 list.

Yep. That's the shit right there.

It's funny how strong punk can be when it's not concerned about being punk. Bonus points for The Clash spelling out the obvious ties between reggae and punk for anybody who didn't get it yet.

This is a proper Punk album. Short tracks, punchy guitar and full of energy. But when you compare this to Black Flag or the Sex Pistols it feels quite mellow by comparison. Joe Strummers vocals are by far the most melodic of the mainstream Punk bands. Does this have the angst and kick of London Calling? No. But you would be hard pressed to find a better debut Punk album. (3.500)

Opening with the punchy two minute "Janie Jones" and calling time with the anthemic "Garageland", The Clash sound a lot more ambitious on their debut record than the other first wave punk bands. They even incorporate their love of reggae on here, with an excellent cover of "Police And Theives". Despite being one of the first punk bands, they can still have a knack to write poppy hooks and a lot of the melodies on here will get stuck in your head. They would go on to become even more ambitious with future releases, but this is one strong debut.

Snarling, spitting, scratching like an alley cat, this debut album comes out of the blocks at a hundred miles an hour and just doesn't let up. There are highs and lows, but when the highs are White Riot Career Opportunities, I'm So Bored With the USA and Police and Thieves, you an forgive the lows. Punk as it should be.

8/10 Good

I tought I hated the Clash but it was surprisingly good ? Wtf ? Maybe its because I hate "Should I stay or should I go" and its alway on the radio and in stranger thing. Most of the time I find punk to be very mid, repetitive and stupid but this was prety fun and the riffs were good. But the songs are super short (another thing I dont like abouth ounk) and I think it makes it hard to realy like them. Thats why I think "Police and thieves" was the best song here.

Harsh sound compared to the following albums, however already shows us what will follow.

Exquisito

thats fun as fuck, dancing type of album there so fucking british holy shit its so fun

Cool album.

Vana hea. Mulle Clash meeldib. Avastasin seda albumit kuulates anda jaoks ühe uue laulu: "What's my name". Vanal briti pungil on oma kindel sound ja võlu. Ma igatsen seda kuulates vahel meloodiat ja võibolla see on ka selle uue laulu võlu, et klassikaliste punkvokaalide vahele on ka kuulda klaari refrääni.

4.5 stars The Clash is my favorite band. So maybe this should be 5 stars. But I don’t want to be biased. While I love this album, I know it’s not perfect. There are some songs that are filler. But the album flows together. It presents the band as they were when they started, all their raw energy. While initially inspired by the Sex Pistols, the Clash came out with this album before Nevermind the Bollocks. They were not goofing around. They defined punk music and would continue to influence artists for decades. It all started here.

Muy bueno

A classic, but London Calling still my favorite

I listened to this album as I walked a new route around downtown Glendale; the album wound up being almost exactly as long as my walk. This debut album from The Clash actually started off a lot more mellow than I was expecting. The vocal style and delivery is definitely and distinctly punk, but the musicianship is a lot closer to typical rock music than I was expecting. I can now tell that this album represents an early point in the history of punk, feeling like a stepping stone for The Clash on their way towards London Calling. This album ended up being a lot more in-line with the sound of some modern punk acts than I would have expected, sometimes feeling more punk in spirit than in sound. The vocals are undeniably punk though, frequently sounding slurred and hard to understand; however, for some reason, this didn't bother me as much on this album was it usually would have. I completely understand why this sound would have pioneered mainstream attention for punk as a genre and a movement, and I can not wait to fully hear how Londond Calling takes yet another step forward on that cultural track. Highlights: Remote Control, White Riot, Hate & War, Deny, London's Burning, Career Opportunities, Cheat, Protex Blue, Police & Thieves, 48 Hours, Garageland

p good classic proto punk. not quite developed to their full incarnation but figuring out classic tropes.

8.5/10 - Really great early punk album. I think the music and the songs are both strong throughout. A great debut album for a legendary band.

Short album, short tracks. Everything works, but not as complete as London Calling.

293 Fantastic debut album. Close to full marks, I’ve always disliked police and thieves though. Highlights Deny Londons Burning Garageland

I'm so bored with the USA

*1997. *I enjoy The Clash, but I'm only familiar with the London Calling (album) songs. *This is a good time and a really solid punk album - 35 mins is also a perfect length. *Will revisit this, but won't listen to on repeat or anything. RATING - 7.5/10

it was really good because the songs were all short lol i dont really like long songs anymore

This doesn't have the big hits of the Clash on it, but this record is the fully formed sound of the band..even if you aren't a big fan, this isn't the Clash you know, but you know it's the Clash.

Love this album, it's solid all the way through. Favorite tracks: Janie Jones, I'm so Bored with the USA, Career Opportunities, Police and Thieves

Great dirty rock sound!

feels like i need to wear a leather jacket to listen to this. other: great fun listen

If you’re looking for songs like ‘Rock The Casbah’, keep on searching because this is a pure punk album. Tons of energy, the guitars and drums are fantastic, and Joe Strummer’s vocals are so hard, fast, and British, you can’t even make out what he’s saying sometimes! Most of the album’s tracks are two minute rock assaults that left me energized, with the exception of the terrible 6-minute cover “Police & Thieves.” If you’re into punk at all, this is a required listen. Strong 4/5

Grew on my after a few listens.. kind of shouty, but I can recognize the significance to music history, which bumps it to a 4

I’m personally more of a London Calling fan, but this album is pretty good too.

Sunday May 17th, 2026. Lots of nice guitar riffs and a good beat. They can be a little hard to understand because of their accents. Lyrics carry a good message, very anti war and anti establishment. Overall pretty good. 7/10. My favorite song of the album was Hate & War.

Aqe

clashing

I don’t think I’ve heard any of these ones before this. Nice early punk sounds here.

Such a classic sound. Iconic. Wonder how many 1* Americans here listened to I’m so Bored of the USA and had to wrap themselves in a flag to console themselves 7.5 / 10 Best track/s: White Riot, Police and Thieves, Remote Control

I loved it, it's very similar to one of my favourite bands and i like the album. I'm gonna be recommending it to my brother now.<3

The intangibles and influence of The Clash overcome this particular album's lack of hits. London Calling is the crown jewel, but this is a very valuable bauble. This album gave the world the punk rock attitude maybe best summed up by Henry Rollins: "This is not a time to be dismayed. This is punk rock time. This is what Joe Strummer trained you for. It is now time to go. You're a good person. That means more now than ever."

This is another seminal punk record, featuring more political content and social criticism. It's an excellent album.

Yeah, this is a good one. Listening today, I only had access to the original UK version, which is cool, but I grew up listening to the US version, which, although it may be a bastardization, I feel is far superior. It includes White Man in Hammersmith Palais, Clash City Rockers, Complete Control, A re-recording of White Riot, and their incredible cover of I Fought the Law, and removes "Deny", "Cheat", "Protex Blue", "48 Hours", and "White Riot" (original version). So, the US version gets a 5. The UK version, for me at any rate, gets a 4. Unsure which to put here, but I guess I'll go with a 4, rating the album as they intended it. It's still good, but there are too many mid-level Clash songs and not enough variation to warrant the full five. Still, these guys are great. And this is one of my favorite album covers.

I mean, it's The Clash!

Good bit of early punk.

Has a song ever do as much damage to a band as “Should I Stay or Should I Go?” Has done to my feelings about The Clash in general? Such a shame that one of the worlds worst songs is forever tied to one of the great punk bands of the 70’s.

The singing sounds half-assed and shouted but not in a bad way. Classic/historic punk music. It fucks. Didn't change my life but it's good. Its The Clash.

it's interesting to notice how the sentiment of these songs feels much more contemporary than about 10 years ago again. Simply because a lot of people decided to fuck up the world. It is some good punk, a bit on the softer side for punk, but that is expected from one of the trailblazers of the genre. It genuinely does feel angry and wants to actually do something, which in my eyes is such a central part of punk in general.

They still have their baby fat, some classics like in here, some not so much. But it’s a goodie!

I loved ittttttt it was so nice to listen to genuinely, it reminds me of what i used to like

Good. Probably not as good as some of their later work but can’t complain

most punk punk

Pure punk action. More technical than the Ramones, more musical than the Sex Pistols. Only complaint is a lack of variation.

Fun enough for the short runtime

I liked London Calling a bit more than this but this is still the best punk rock I’ve heard - not really a fan of the genre overall. Who knew I liked The Clash so much. Opened my eyes.

The Clash’s debut is all about street cred - loud, brash and punk as fuck. You can hear that tunefulness and unique instrumentation in places that will develop and stand out on later albums. For now, it’s just in your face and unapologetic rock.

The Clash at their finest. This is Punk Rock.

me lo esperaba mucho peor, ate that rock!

Great album from one of the best puck rock groups to hit the scene in the late 1970's. The Clash only improved over time!

For some reason this makes me want a steak dinner.

Classic

Мне альбом зашел, смесь панк-рока и немного "грязного" звука заставила меня с утра проснуться. Группа появилась во время кризисов во всем мире. В песнях поднимаются темы насилия, расизма, коррупции, личных проблем, что вполне актуально и сейчас. Единственное, что мне не понравилось - одинаковое звучание и уже на песне 6 становится скучно. Лучшая песня - White Riot

Man I love the clash. Such great post punk music. Glad to see their brilliance extends beyond London Calling! 8/10

Great stuff here.

Liked that it included UK Culture and it's themes. The bass player also did a very good job, he stuck out in a good way.

Really fun, up-tempo, punk rock!

Not London Calling, but still solid.

Quick and very fun listen

Didn't listen to all the songs but the ones I did listen to were good!! I've also listened to other songs by the clash so based on both of them i give it a 4 :)

Sorry to keep giving fours, but this was another super fun album! The clash are energetic, fun, and seem like they were fighting the good fight. Fav song: Deny

The Clash still captures the frustration and desire to riot in these confusing times. Love it.

Sometimes music is fun because the artists making it are clearly having fun. This is one of those albums.

The lyrics are applicable to society today, with mentions of war and police, along with long-standing angst about the corporate rat race.

It's 3.75 but i like the clash

Favorite Track: Protex Blue Least Favorite Track: Janie Jones

Greatest Brit punk rock band of all time (no offense to the Sex Pistols). Clash set the standard. It’s incredible to think this is a debut album. So strong top to bottom. Want to give this a 4.5 because London Calling is even better and I need room for it when comes up.

hat mir sehr gefallen.

4.6

- 3.5/5 - Refreshing punk rock - Lots of repeated background vocals within songs, works for some, gets old quick for others

Imagine your debut album absolutely genre defining and it still only being your 3rd best album. The Clash were the real deal.

White Riot, London’s Burning, Garageland, Janie Jones… and so many more. This is such a better album than Never Mind The Bollocks, which was an overhyped piece of trash. The Clash remain, along with the Damned, THE UK punk band of note. To think they went even higher with London’s Calling and Sandinista!

Crazy to think how this would have hit in 1977.

In the mid 90’s I left London for a period of time- in my head I built a mythic London based on reading the books of Martin Amis, Modern life is rubbish by Blur and this album. This was and is an archetypal London album for me. Sneering, but caring love with the sounds of the city. Punk, yes but also reggae. Politics and the personal intertwined between scything guitars and pulsing bass. The great punk debut album

Quite good, British punk is finally prevailing after some questionable choices on this list.

It is urgent, angry, messy in the right ways, and more thoughtful than its rough surface first suggests.

Pretty good. More influential than great, but lays a template for lots of the more socially conscious punk to come. Manages to do it all without losing sight of the fact that the song still needs to hold the weight

I like The Clash. Do I think they are the only band that matters or they are the only gang in town? No. But they put out some great songs. Super strong debut packed with hits. Complete Control would be any other bands' magnum opus. Not sure why there was a different UK and US version, but I lean to the UK version. I'm shocked there isn't a deluxe version that combines the two. 4.5⭐️

Short and sweet punk album.

It's a foundational album, and it's a good album, but surprisingly I'm not wowed by it. I've heard a lot of these songs for decades. I like them. But I'm not in love with them. 3.6/5

Felt more long and repetitive than i expected. But this is due its genre more than it being boring or dull. I'll be damned if this isn't a fun and energetic album. Some things haven't aged all that well, but it's really representative of that punk mentality and depicts an image of the UK that's important to think about. In some sense, things have not changed in how there's a portion of the population with problems and concerns against the government and the rich people. Nowadays, its just other music genres and more concentrated wealth

Super good wow! Love the lyrics

I think this album gets too much credit, but it is very good. I wish I could do half ratings

Fun, breezy punk debut that would lead to better albums. Top tracks: "Remote Control," "Police & Thieves," "What's My Name," "White Riot"

short cool and funky, love em dissing america

4.0 When I was a teenager and obsessed with Blink & Offspring, and later Green Day & NoFX, my dad tried showing me "real" punk by giving me the Sex Pistols. Didn't think much of it and didn't bother exploring anything else pre-90s. In hindsight this would have been a much better shout. Sex Pistols were too gimmicky, these guys can actually play. Lots more similarities to the pop-punk that came later, not in a detracting way. Really enjoyed this, even more so than the later Clash ones that have appeared on here. Will explore some more.

The Clash fant formen fra start og er naturlig kule.

Snill firer.

Mye å like her. God energi, gode tekster, middels bra synging. Men det kler dem.

Nice short and sweet 35 min

I generally dislike punk but mostly enjoyed this. Which probably shows how good it is

Not The Clash's greatest album (London Calling), but an outstanding debut. Despite being considered an iconic punk band, the genre-hopping which would characterize much of their later work is already visible on this album. Highlights for me: Remote Control, Career Opportunities, Police and Thieves, Janie Jones.

A classic.

4/5 As expected from the Clash, a well-rounded, interesting album that keeps your attention. I liked it.

Fantastic album from a legendary band. Great energy, with their iconic punk sound and themes.

Just good punk album.

im bored with the usa

Formative. Could use a nip and a tuck but overall there are essential Clash tunes in here. Especially Janie Jones and I’m So Bored with the USA…

Glad to have an album of a different genre pop up today, although this is the second album I've had from The Clash since starting this. The Clash is definitely one of the classic punk bands and there are some classic songs on this album. I find this album a bit more repetitive than some of their other albums, but it was still fun to listen to it on a Friday morning!

Just like London Calling popping up for me 3 months ago, this is so much better than I thought it would be and wish I had given the Clash a chance so long ago.

Enjoyed it a lot! Feel good punk!

Love it, it feels like sitting round your angry mates house putting the world to rights

Punk!

Prototypical punk rock, defining for the whole genre. The signature Clash sound, but less polished than the later albums. Still a great listen and fun to see how the band developed from here.

é top massss meio pão com farinha

I didn’t expect to like this more than London Calling, but I did.

c00l

It's obviously amazing, but saving my 5th star because this isn't London Calling

malo me je smaralo na pocetku al do jaja mi je bilo na kraju, bas gotivim engleski rok taj sarkasticni goofy rock

no doubt a very influential album, wasn’t expecting to know a lot of these songs from just listening in passing before, Police & Thieves being so recognizable and a HIT. the quality sounds so good for being a punk album from the 70s

I like this. I'm not a huge fan of punk in general, but the Clash are definitely my favourite punk band.

A great debut that doesn’t outstay its welcome, unlike some Clash albums (I’m looking at you, Sandinista), their best album is of course, London’s Calling but this hints at some of what’s to come.

I continue to hear the influence on bands that came after. Not an album I’ll return to often, but clearly a classic for a reason.

I should've listened to this earlier! This is closer in quality to London Calling than I was expecting, even though it's rawer and more straightforward punk rock overall. 8/10

Love the raw energy on this one, but still my mind can't stop comparing it with debuts like the sex pistols and ramones.

Loves this. I obviously know the clash, but not their debut album. Classic punk and the setting for the genre as we know today. Real, authentic, and still relevant

Loved this. I can totally see their influence.

Classic Clash album

Hardcore punk

(5/7) fuel for my rebellious streak

Un sonido mas crudo respecto a los discos siguientes. Un gran álbum con algunos clásicos.

Heavily slept on and underrated album

9/10 me gusta the clash

Really nice, lowkey gives walking in london vibes. Gives off a good old british album vibe - probably because it is. Enjoyable album but not really my vibe.

This was better than the last Clash album we had. But as I said in my previous review, my bar is set at the Ramones, and everything else comes after them.

I've always wanted to be more into punk than I am, and this album kind of illustrates why. Some of sickest guitar solos you've ever heard are just too often paired with horrendous lyrics and vocals. It never gets that bad here, but it does hold it back from being a 5/5. Police & Thieves is worth a full star on its own too.

4

Didn’t love white riot but most of the rest is good classic rock.

Great debut. #johnsvinyl

Loved it great running soundtrack

Not being the biggest fan of punk, historically I've never really sought out the music of The Clash but obviously heard a fair bit over the years and more recently have listened to both _Give 'Em Enough Rope_ and _London's Calling_. This is my introduction to their debut though.... ... and it's solid and likely would have had a big impact at the time but perhaps now lacks the punchiness, particularly in the production, that it might have had to hear this in 1977. That said I was drawn in by what are undeniably catchy, singalong choruses of the likes of _Janie Jones_, _I'm So Bored with the USA_, _London's Burning_ and _Career Opportunities_, which are definitely the strength of this album. I initially thought the verses lacked the same quality but over a few more listens, I came to realise that these songs are much better written than I gave them credit for despite the relative raw-ness of them. It's punk and nobody can deny the raw energy of a song like _White Riot_ but there's a lot of melodic moments here that are already hinting at both where The Clash will go and also where punk would evolve into post punk. There are a few throwaway moments that mainly come in the last few songs, the exception being _Police & Thieves_. In one sense a strange choice of cover given that, at over 6 minutes, it's twice the length of the next longest song and yet it works! A highlight of the album and once again points in the direction of where the band would go. I would have closed the album with it though. After an initially concerning start, the debut has definitely won me over. It's raw but there's a lot to enjoy here. It's probably unlikely to ever be my favourite music, and probably not my fave album of there's but I will revisit for sure

Solid punk album. Will probably revisit.

A classic.

1/1001 What a great first entry into this journey. The Clash is such a funky and groovy rock album, with the artists still managing to get their politics out without dragging the vibe (if anything enhancing it). Highlights: Remote Control, Deny, Police & Thieves

good punk album

We are reviewing the British version here, which is a shame because this is one of the few records where the American release is far superior, including White Man in Hammersmith Palais, Clash City Rockers, I Fought the Law and others. Even in its lesser state, it's an audacious debut that is far more interesting to me than the Pistols. The Clash would quickly move away from punk and broaden their musical palette greatly. In American form, it's a 5 but the original UK version is a strong 4

Significantly more enjoyable than some of the other early punk albums.

I spent a long time wondering whether to give this an 8 — four stars by the international system — or a 9, and therefore five stars. In the end, on the third listen, one song tipped the balance. In the wrong direction, unfortunately. More on that later. Cliffhanger! But before we reach the conclusion, we should start at the beginning. This is The Clash’s debut album, released at the height of the punk explosion. And yet there is something slightly odd about it. The Clash are one of punk’s central characters, but listen closely and you can already hear the outlines of where they would soon be heading. The transition towards new wave is already lurking in the background. The clearest example is their cover of Police & Thieves, where The Clash take the first steps towards the reggae influences that would become increasingly common among former punk bands and bands in punk’s slipstream. The Police, obviously, would take that particular road rather further. In any case, while much of the music here may be three-chord rock, there is considerably more going on than that suggests. The album’s high point is one of the most iconic punk songs ever recorded — and given that punk’s initial explosion lasted about two years, that is saying something. Try finding a more quintessential punk song than White Riot. I’m So Bored with the USA gives it a decent run for its money, complete with the characteristic “rugby choir” shouting its way through the chorus. This album is fresh, energetic and catchy. But nearly fifty years later, it is also rather difficult to listen to it entirely on its own terms. That applies to almost everything on this list, of course: we no longer hear these records as people did when they appeared, when the musical canon obviously consisted only of albums that had already been released. Since then we've had the entire new-wave explosion, underground guitar rock in the eighties, alternative rock in the nineties and another few decades of successful guitar bands. Generation after generation has drawn inspiration from the revolution that turned the musical world upside down, particularly in 1977 — celebrated by some, despised by many others, and apparently still capable of making people angry today. That innocence is simply no longer available to us. And honestly, I think this album has aged just slightly less well than Never Mind the Bollocks. Speaking of influence: I don't think I'd previously realised quite how enormous The Clash’s influence was on one of my favourite bands ever, Mano Negra. I still bitterly regret never seeing them live. Anyway, why the 8 rather than the 9? Well, this album ends with Garageland. Or rather, the UK version of the album does, which is the one I listened to because, naturally, that is the one sitting in my collection. The US version removes four tracks and adds five others. Sigh. One of those five is the cover of I Fought the Law, which Mano Negra also covered. I’m wandering off again. Garageland. Joe Strummer sings it so unbelievably out of tune that even punk aesthetics can’t save it. The vocals throughout the album are, shall we say, unpolished, but here it actually hurts my ears. And surely that isn't necessary. Punk may be about rejecting polish. It doesn't have to mean rejecting pitch.

8/10 I like the idea of the Clash more than the actuality. I love that this was recorded for a fiver - it's raw and immediatem I just think, as I dig into their music, the songs are just not as strong as some of their contemporaries...

this is their best album

Awesome sounds. I love this raw first (UK) wave punk style. There's something so pure about the sound and the songwriting. Produced something like perfectly for what it is. Much more enjoyable for me than most of it's contemporary punk records. Love what it went on to inspire, but also a great fun listen in itself.

Good old fashioned punk.

I liked it

Noch ziemlich Rough. Mehr Punk als bei den späteren Alben, aber man hört wo die Reise hingeht. Wird noch öfter laufen!

A great punk album, if not a little repetitive by the end. The beginning of the album, specifically I’m So Bored of the USA and White Riot stand out to me.

Really good album. Janie Jones was my song of the album with Remote Control and Garageland as my other highlights

8/10 awesome punk rock

this is the first punk album i've ever heard. for some unknown reason it has been in my parents cd collection. that's how i found it when i was 14 and that's how my journey with punk started <3

First time listening to The Clash and it’s funny because I just encountered this same album at the record store the other day. This album seems to have been released in the midst of the punk movement in the U.K. and the lyrics cover everything from anti-war, critiques of the U.S. and U.K. and anti-capitalism. “Janie Jones” is an energetic opener that sets the tone for what’s to come. “Police and Thieves” not only had poignant lyrics but the bass line has been stuck in my head. Their commitment to being unabashedly themselves is evident, as “Garageland” reminds the audience that no matter the success, their origins are as a garage band. Listen Again?: Yes

Among the best in punk music.

Classic Brit punk

😃

Full of energy and fight

Hyvä levy, pitäisi kuunnella enemmän Clashia. 3,5/5.

Pure punk!

Top punk album

Reminds me a lot of Ramones. A slobber knocker of an album right from the get go, with the lyricism that is rather primitive but pointed, making the societal rage against the failing systems accessible to the masses.

Great debut album! High energy throughout, a tight 35 minutes for 14 tracks. I'm looking forward to listening to this band again later on (I saw "London Calling" is on this list). 4/5 stars.

There's a British faculty member in my Communications department who runs the student paper. One day last year, I asked him about The Clash and he proceeded to ramble on with song after song for 20 minutes. It was quite the experience and now that I'm here, I can tell why he idolizes these guys as the greatest rock band of all time. Most of these songs are well-written and performed. In comparison to the other British punk album I've heard (Bollocks by the Sex Pistols), this one has more substance and staying power to it. If I recall, a lot of Never Mind The Bollocks was the same well-done British man anger that I ended up forgetting. This has much more I can work with, especially Police And Thieves. White Riot's a classic, Janie Jones, Bored with The USA, Career Opportunities, etc. There's a string of songs that I'm not too impressed by and that brings down the score. But considering that I have the Pistols a 3, consider this an improvement (8/10, 4/5 on this scale)

Very good. But not as good as the great London Calling. Barely a 4.

Nancy hates the clash, I like them

70s punk debut. One of the most important punk albums, some classics of the genre. Exactly what you think it is, fun, good natured punk.

Fantastic debut. Catchy with lyrics that still resonate

Strong album with some great songs. This is the Clash that I remember.

Iconic album. For better or worse. They pushed Punk into the mainstream.

Great punk album but their later material was much more interesting.

Very nice rock

I thought it's gonna be punk, or smth more in my style, but it wasn't. Still good tho

Like it

I would give this album a 6 out of 10, first release, and it definitely gave me sense of where the band would move in the future. When compared to other punk bands I think the Clash had a lot more going on than the few peers that they had.

i love punk so this album was very solid, although not exactly a 5. deny was my favorite off of it

Really really good punk album. For fans of any punk music, new or old, this has so many of the hallmarks that make the genre great. So many singable songs, with messages as relevant today as they were when they written. Giving it a 4.5 out of 5 purely because I did get a bit of fatigue by the end. The only problem with songs that last 90 seconds to 2 minutes is they don't leave much space for progression so run that risk of all blending in to one. Still a top album though.

i freaking love the clash

Like a 8/10 album. Very good and consistent sound janie jones and white riot were incredible. Not a outstanding album but really good

Niet geluisterd zaad maar vind de clash wel leuk vgm

Stand-out tracks: Remote Control - fun lyrics, good instrumentals (especially that guitar solo about halfway through) White Riot - short, but damn catchy Deny - I like how diverse the guitar is in this one and the tempo changes are cool London's Burning - another short and catchy one Police Thieves - its length gives it room to breathe unlike most of the other tracks Garageland - the drums are fun on this one I don't know what I was expecting from a punk rock album, lots of hate in the lyrics (they hate the system, the US, the army, the police) and shouting. Never really listened to punk much, so this was a nice surprise. The songs are fast paced and short so they are over before you know it, but they are catchy. I do feel the album would benefit from having a few more developed longer songs instead of a bunch of half-assed short songs to fill the track list.

Highlights: Janie Jones, I'm so Bored with the U.S.A., White Riot, Hate & War, London Burning, Career Opportunities, Cheat, 48 Hours Interesting listen. Don't like punk all that much, having dabbled in it only a little bit (mainly Sex Pistols whom I found to be quite "simple"). But after combing through this record I can say I do like the Clash. I knew I liked their post punk music (since it generally is more popular overall), but the punk also turned out great. I was amused by the overall "Britishness" of these punks. It's got a very distinct British character with all these cultural references that feel like a bygone era - domestic condom brand dispensers in a pub bathroom, mentions of Daleks and some TV talent show, dread of an upcoming Thatcher government and so on. Even so, the themes are timeless. The mid-70's were politically similar to the 2020's so the political tracks were a highlight.

Excellent punk

Good

Blind album, know the artist and the hits. T'was good! Pretty much what I expected and I feel this has aged well and more rough for an earlier album.

This isn't quite London Calling but it's still really great, fun, enjoyable punk

Punk & fun.

cool brit punk. Pretty fun. Not my favourite kind of music for sure but it was pretty well done IMHO and I definitely heard the influence they had on other bands (Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Rancid).

dobry album pozdro, odbiega od mojej muzyki na co dzien, ale still jest bangerem

Classic punk. Upbeat and influential.

Wow, this album is short. The songs sound good on this album except all the songs sound lowkey the same, so it’s like I like the songs but it sounds like I’m listening to 35 minutes of one song instead of 14 different songs. I like the songs on this album, they sound good and I might listen to them later, but I can’t name one that I liked more than the others because none of the songs really stuck out. So, all in all, good album, but could be more interesting.

Originally I wrote a long winded rant about punk rock in 1977 and the differences in the US versus UK versions of this album, but I forgot to save it. So instead of writing the whole thing again I’ll just say it’s a really good album and a definite 4/5.

respect

Absolute Classic. Police & Thieves is still stuck in my head after all these years.

Janie Jones, Remote Control, White Riot, London's Burning, Police & Thieves, such a great record, hard to pick a favorites. Well, I just did.

Hmmmmm, svårt att betygsätta. Ändå en ganska bra bit från London Calling och Sandinista som albumupplevelse, men det utger sig inte heller för att vara det. I all sin enkelhet, för vad det vill vara, vad det blev och vad som följt efter det är är det ändå klass. Några hits där Police & Thieves har en plats på min topp 20-Clash. Landar nog trots allt i en stark fyra och svär än en gång över att betygsskalan är så liten.

Debuten är ju underbart rå. Texterna är perfekta i sin punkiga enkelhet men musiken blir ändå bättre senare i karriären. Finns några fullträffar med I’m So Bored…, White Riot, Career Opportunities och covern på Police & Thieves. Ruskigt nära full pott!

1 januari 1977, ett släppdatum som förpliktigar. Och vilken jävla rökare till debut! Aldrig tänkt på hur gullig ”white riot” är, att den mest handlar om att de vill va lika balla som de svarta ungdomarna, som när de har det tufft i alla fall inte har nåt emot att ”kasta lite sten”.

Första två lyssningarna på tuben: Förutom sista som knappt räknas är det här det av Clash album jag lyssnat på minst som helhet. Finns några riktiga klassiker, några som försöker klia samma erogena punkt men inte lyckas lika bra. Fan om inte Police & Thieves, en cover, är bäst på plattan? 77-punkrått men man hör ju redan här att det finns en hel del finess som kom att blomma ut på London Calling. Men jävlar vad bra det måste varit live. Lät väl typ så här då, fast svettigare. 3/5. Tredje lyssningen, fredag kväll, på vinyl och dansa med Lo: Det här är kul, rått och kanske bästa punkpunkiga albumet nånsin

A nice old punk album. I do have a soft spot for strummer

Excellent punk album and a legacy work. Raw vocals and a unique reggae-influenced sound. No true misses, although The Clash hasn't truly peaked yet. Can't wait to inevitably get London Calling in the future.

Vibes 10/10 Zang 5/10

Loved thiss!!!! Imo it was kinda like The Smiths and Dandy Warhols kinda vibes.

Great

Continually changing and staying interesting without losing its punk edge.

8/10

Нормальный альбом. Панк-рок, неплохо звучит, послушать можно
