Not today, Mr. Clash. Couldn't listen to the whole thing.
too long, boring - hot take i know but i couldnt bring myself to re listen to it
Not a punk fan
Not a fan of this genre. Nothing saved to the playlist.
Nope. Just can’t do it. I tried. 1
I can't listen to this one a third time, just, no. Seminal punk (ish) album? Yes Do I like it? No, I do not like the ska elements or even its more punk elements, its too long and the only song I ever care to listen to again is Lost in the Supermarket because it at least sounds like a post punk song but beyond that it's just totally not my thing Just a no.
Not for me
Not for me. 1/5
The whole album sounds the same
Apart from "London calling", which is probably the album's most well known song I didn't like this kind of Punk Rock.
Not my style
The band that started the punk scene. Some good music.
Not my vibe. Bored by it.
This is not my kind of music. Need more than guitars & drums. Not into "punk".
Meh. Never got into The Clash, and now I know why.
Not talented.
Challenge: give me an album not from a British band and not older than 40 years. Impossible for this website.
Did not like album
Definitely not for me....
Oh Gott nope, so viel was ich nicht mag
No thanks
I've listened to a few Clash songs here and there, but never really been a fan of any of them enough to seek out more of their material. This album has done little to change my opinion. I realize this is probably heretical to most music fans, especially punk fans, but it is what it is. Let's get to some details. Highlights: Jimmy Jazz - The most interesting songs to me on this album are the ones that sound the least like the Clash's signature sound. This mellow jazzy track was a fun listen. Rudie Can't Fail - This song is almost straight up reggae. Very relaxing sound and the singer's vocals fit with the reggae theme. Lost in the Supermarket - This is probably my favorite song on the album. The bass riffs are great. Somehow the vocalist learned what his range is. I'll be adding this to my playlists. Clampdown - Great punky, chunky guitar. Catchy hooks, vocals are on point here. The Guns of Brixton - More great bass work. The reggae style once again is a great match for The Clash's skills. I'm Not Down - I really enjoyed this one. Very upbeat punk sound. A trumpet solo away from early ska. Lowlights: London Calling - God these vocals are grating. Sounds like the guy has a sinus infection. Wrong 'Em Boyo - The intro to this track is brass with what sounds like a donkey braying over it. Vocals are awful. After the intro it redeems itself with a very early ska sounding jam. Four Horsemen - Awful vocals strike again. Guy sounds like Eeyore. Final Thoughts: Frankly, I did not enjoy this album. I liked a lot of the instrumental work on here, but God, the vocals are grating at worst and downplayed at best. The best tracks are consistently the ones with the most emphasis on the instrumentals themselves. Legitimately at times sounds like a donkey imitating human voice.
Not my music
Pizda hui
I can’t. It’s the same monotonous voice for every song and the music sounds like a beginners garage band. I don’t understand the hype. Would I listen again: Nope Best Song: none, I couldn’t even make it through the whole album. Worst Song: London Calling. Can’t stand this song on the radio and can’t stand it on the album. It should have have me a hint to what I was in for…
Not gonna lie, i was really bored with this one. Already knew London Calling and Stand by Me. Its just not jiving with me. No cohesion and honestly the vocals are not my favorite and theres no real good interesting hooks. Expecting a good old amp blowing fist pumping anthem-filled good time. But british reggae punk? I just cant sink into it. Gave Urban Hymns a better score and people think that one is ass so maybe its a flaw with me.
okay.
zzzzzzzzzz
Load of shite. Can't even be bothered thinking up something less base than this.
Didn't like
utter tosh
Diese Platte ist abscheulich. Es war mir nicht möglich, mehr als die ersten 5 Songs davon zu hören. Wenn je ein Negativbeispiel für besonders uninspiriertes, dilettantisches Songwriting benötigt würde, wäre diese Platte besonders geeignet. Taugt noch nicht einmal für Lacher, reinste Folter. Wer das für ein hervorragendes, besonders hörenswertes Album hält, ist musikalisch tontaub. Nie wieder!
