The Clash

Back to the classic punk again with the eponymously titled debut from The Clash.

On the whole it’s a good album, filled with mostly short, anthemic punk songs that you can learn the chorus for quite quickly, and be singing along to in no time. Some more political songs on this album compared to 90’s punk and certainly the more modern punk/pop bands, but nothing overly contraversial or contentious. I do think some of the sentiment behind the songs still rings true, such as “I’m So Bored With The USA” and “Career Opportunities”.

Musically, it does what a punk album should; shouty singing, stop/start guitars and driving drums.
