Great, great, great. One of the most diverse albums i ever heard to. One of the best albums ever. London Calling, Jimmy Jazz, Hateful, Train In A Vain, are all great tracks. Everyone should listen to this.

I really have fun while i listen to this. This is a long album, but you don't become tired of it. Is really good, and definitely one of the best punk albums ever.

I bought this in 1999 and I still listen to it enthusiastically a few times a year. Time tested. Road tested. I have yet to find a more rewarding mainstream album.

I can't stop listening to this album! And it's hard to believe that I ever thought this album was overrated trash. What was I thinking?!?

The sound of a band finding their way, swinging for the fences, and hitting a grand slam. It's one of those double albums where everything is given a whirl and eveything sticks. This can be violent, scary, funny, and rocking within the span of ten minutes. Brilliant and essential.

The Clash got even ballsier on this disc and expanded into musical genres that were so anti-punk that they became punk. So many different sounds and directions ... this is what made us sit up and notice the band.

Great album undoubtedly, not sure it deserves top ten though and certainly doesn't merit being above Pet Sounds in my opinion.
