Title: Interesting Diversity in Opinion Here
Product review: Not being a punk-rock afficionado, I do like this album. And being that I was four when it came out, I have no recollection of The Clash ever selling out (if that's what you think they did). What I do know is that I appreciate a sub-par album if it shows a serious attempt to grow and expand by the artist that created it. The same formula becomes old and stale, and without change you end up with the Battle of Los Angeles and Chris Cornell as your new front man. I love The Clash, and London Calling, but I also enjoy Combat Rock because it is not either of those albums. It displays the reggae-dub, and electronic influences that would later make up Big Audio Dynamite's sound. If you want to be pretentious and stay true to punk then do so, but if you have gotten over your own self-concious image and just want to listen to what you like....
