Such a good Album.

A very haunting piece of, er, music, but it still wraps up to a wonderful sound.

It was good.

Some songs were a little bit...off...but the music was still wickedly insane and loaded good jams. I think I like this Album better than the other one I listened to. Not to say it wasn't garbage, I just prefer the sound of less-effort rock that still has blazing amounts of passion to it. The sound of a blown out amp and the screeching sound of guitar getting to close to the amplifier just sounds so awesome.

What's with people covering Bob Dylan?

So, here I am, getting excited about The Clash, expecting a fully loaded 2 hour long punk Album, when I play the Album aaaand...

REGGAE IMMEDIATELY PLAYS.

FOLLOWED BY WALTZ, FUNK, JAZZ, GOSPEL,

AND EVERY MUSIC GENRE EXCEPT PUNK.

Yeah, it killed my hopes and dreams, but, it was still a decent Album. Joe Strummer portrays strong passion and very talented vocals, alongside all the musical personnel who played alongside him. The mixed genre keeps the flow of the Album interesting, and the only real complaint I have is that it got really weird near the end.

I dislike to like the disliking of liking, I suppose.

The Late 500

I'm back,

and fully loaded with new ideas and perspectives on life, beauty, art, and everything that comes with that.

Stay tuned, and get ready to read more biased opinions!
