Title: The Clash Don't Fail
Review: The Clash are called the only band that matters and on London Calling they come close to living up to that moniker. The 19 songs range from the fiery punk of the title track to the ska-inflected "Rudie Can't Fail" to the pop of "Train In Vain". The band plays with a passion and energy that explodes out of your stereo. "Brand New Cadillac" is sleek and menacing, "Spanish Bombs" floats, "Lost In The Supermarket" is pensive while "Death & Glory" & "The Right Profile" explode. The songs are more polished and cleaner sounding than on their first two releases, but they retain that punk bravado in their lyrics. The band never compromised their integrity and London Calling should be part of everyone's collection.
