Title: raw emotion is a powerful mistress
Review: Anger, defiance, intelligence, the Clash supplied them all on their debut. They had some justifiable rage against the political situation in the 1970s, and they showed it in their songs (Career Opportunities, White Man in Hammersmith Palais). They kept up a tremendous pace throughout the album, while paying homage to their blues and reggae roots. The mastery of their instruments may not blow you away, but the sheer amount of raw emotions makes this one of the best punk albums ever. It is more emotional and intelligent than the Sex Pistol's "Never Mind the Bullocks," and has more potent lyrics. If it weren't for "London Calling," it might be the best.
