Title: You might want to look elsewhere if you just want PUNK
Product review: The Clash by this point were actually far removed from their purely punk asthetic. As Mick Jones once stated, they were out to prove they could do ANY kind of music and use it to their own ends. This is an eclectic set to be sure, and that's a good thing. In fact, the only thing here I don't personally like is the sing-song-y "Inoculated City." Everything else is at least intriguing when not totally righteous. "Ghetto Defendant" has a great bass line, great atmosphere (love that harmonica) and Gainesbourg's robotic interjections. "Straight to Hell" is an obvious classic; rarely has such a quiet song sounded so devestating.Those are just a few highlights from a very unique album that's well worth checking out. While there are some tunes that might qualify as punk, the rest are labeled as such merely by virtue of the band's reputation.
