Title: A brilliant, eclectic album - proof that the Mekons could do anything
Review: I've often heard "London Calling" described as the album where the Clash proved that they could do anything. The Mekons did the same on this one; the eclectic mix of punk, country, folk, reggae, and a Rolling Stones cover sounds like it should be a mess, but it all works perfectly. The whole band is in fine form and the lyrics are as sharp and inspiring as ever. It's still a small step down from the immortal brilliance of "Fear and Whiskey," but this stands as one of the best albums in the Mekons enormous catalog.
