| | Customer Reviews: Great detox album! (06 January 2009)This album is provoking, intimidating, and catchy. I really was apprehensive about buying a punk album, but when I first played the record, I was immediately hooked. If you're suffering from bouts of hysteria stemming from listening to too much emo and "punk" rock (AFI, Green Day, Offspring, Blink 182), play this record every day alone or in front of your friends as loud as you can to cleanse your palette. Stop answering the phone (21 December 2008)Innovative punk fusion at its finest, filled with minor transcendence, spectacular diversity, and renegade heart. Play this for solace when any overly-hyped UK buzz band hangs incessantly over your ears. Everyone is right. (29 August 2008)Buying this album was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. For the money, I've never had anything blow my mind quite like this album. It's obvious. Buy it now. The all time punk "classic" (18 August 2008)London Calling should be in any music lovers collection. I hesitate to call it classic because it is so fresh after 20+ years that is seems inappropriate to tag it that way. Much the way that Sgt Pepper or Nevermind feels unique and current no matter when you encounter it 1970, 1994 or 2008 Perfection in the punk genre and beyond (20 July 2008)The song "London Calling" touched a nerve at the start of the 1980s. Like the Young Ones, 2000AD, and the impact of new wave was being felt. The haze of the seventies was gone. A new dawn of nihilism was upon us (attack commercial greed - Koka Kola) people were scared and we were taught in schools of nuclear holocausts (London Calling) but the beauty and naivety still remains in songs such as "Train in Vain". As strong as The Stones Exile on Main St (the great double album of several years earlier) but preaching to an audience who would rather die than associate themselves with such a 60s / 70s iconic group. This was the music of our generation and we embraced it will both arms. Nothing would be the same again, and The Clash had moved New Wave to the next step, a kind of wary respectability. |
