dave b - See all dave b's reviews and a classic record you must have. some songs are not essential anyway but some others are truly incredible -
"London Calling"- an essential masterpie
, July 1, 2002Reviewer:
Spencer H - See all Spencer H's reviews Love or hate the label 'punk', this album continues to resonate the punk rock mentality as their first release had done. Remember that punk is not a specific sound, musical style or formula, but an attitude. Lyrically, this is DEFINITELY a punk album.
Similar to Devo's "Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo?" and the overlooked classic "Meat Puppets II", this album revolutionized punk rock. It made the term 'punk' more versatile and based on the general ideas, beliefs, and principles that are the cornerstones of the genre, rather than the overall sound or style. For this reason, punk rock is arguably the most diverse genre of rock n' roll.
As a songwriter myself, I believe the most significant aspects a songwriter should possess are diversity, honesty, and universal appeal. Joe Strummer, along with Lennon and Cobain comes closest to achieving perfection in the songwriting field. "London Calling" is an amazing record- arguably the greatest in punk rock, and one of the most influential and imcomparable albums of rock n' roll's history. ...

Pro Reviews: London Calling (Remastered)
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Give 'Em Enough Rope, for all of its many attributes, was essentially a holding pattern for the Clash, but the doublealbum London Calling is a remarkable leap forward, incorporating the punk aesthetic into rock roll mythology and roots music. Before, the Clash had experimented with reggae, but that was no preparation for the dizzying array of styles on London Calling. There's punk and reggae, but there's also rockabilly, ska, New Orleans RB, pop, lounge jazz, and hard rock; and while the record isn't tied together by a specific theme, its eclecticism and anthemic punk function as a rallying call. While many of the songs particularly "London Calling," "Spanish Bombs," and "The Guns of Brixton" are explicitly political, by acknowledging no boundaries the music itself is political and revolutionary. But it is also invigorating, rocking harder and with more purpose than most albums, let alone double albums. Over the course of the record, Joe Strummer and Mick Jones (and Paul Simonon, who wrote "The Guns of Brixton") explore their familiar themes of workingclass rebellion and antiestablishment rants, but they also tie them in to old rock roll traditions and myths, whether it's rockabilly greasers or "Stagger Lee," as well as mavericks like doomed actor Montgomery Clift. The result is a stunning statement of purpose and one of the greatest rock roll albums ever recorded.
