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.
