Great detox album!
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,...

I don't get what the hype is all about!
What's with the hype? The Clash haven't aged very well and the music on this cd is boring and monotonous! For good punk just stick with Green Day and Blink 182.

Everyone is right.
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"
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
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...

Great Album
I was torn between 4 and 5 stars and would have done 4 1/2 if I knew how. I was probably a little bit harsher in my rating because of the record's reputation. It probably won't disappoint you, but I don't think it approaches the best album ever. It very likely has some great songs you've never...

Nothing else comes close
Not only is London Calling one of the best-written albums ever, it's one of the best-sounding albums as well. London Calling is an auditory delight, thanks in a large part due to Guy Stevens' impeccable production. The music is rich and mellifluous, with each song drifting through various...

London is drowning...
London Calling took pun rock's "loud, fast, 'n' hard" aesthetic and turned it inside-out. From conception to execution, it's a blasphemous album. How else can you characterize a double LP full of stylistic variation, intelligent lyrics, raw musical skill, and concessions to mainstream...

If I were left with only 5 CDs for the rest of my life...
For me this was THE best Clash LP ever, bought from Woolworth back in the day as a real vinyl record, and again years later as a CD, it has stood the test of time.Each and every track is superb. It's a work that shows just how intelligent and musical these guys really were, not just angry young...

a classic
Here's how good this album is: I already owned these songs as MP3s. I just had to have the CD too. There are few albums with 20 songs. Of those that do have 20 songs, none I can think of have as many *good* songs as this one does.
