Apr 15, 2021Another deeply nostalgic album from my childhood that, like Sgt. Pepper, is so ingrained into the English culture that it feels like a part of you.

Nov 5, 2020A near perfect record with great punk tunes that seem like great pop by today’s standards. Their lyrics remain as biting as ever and their music as propulsive and fun.

Jul 13, 2020Как бы я не любил Combat Rock, это лучший альбом The Clash и один из лучших альбомов, что я слышал в своей жизни.

Aug 20, 2018An album that shows that not only an external change is needed through music, but also an inside instropection is needed for a real change to be made.

Apr 4, 2015I was in college when this album came out. It's hard to put in historical perspective, but this album changed music for the next couple decades. The scope of it is truly astounding. I would put this in my "top 10" all time best rock albums list. As an added, bonus, they were one of the best live bands ever. (I saw them 5 times.) Those were the days...

Dec 9, 2013Suckest guitar sounds... Stupidest performers... London calling is an absolute dumbed down of the 70s decade..........................................

Nov 18, 2013This album is just incredible. What's great is that The Card Cheat, not London Calling, is the best song. Each song is so unique that it feels like a different band could've written each one. It suits any mood and it shows just what kind of talent the Clash had. It is more than rock n' roll and is phenomenal. Everyone needs to listen to it.

Jan 26, 2013The Clash are one of thee most brilliant bands to have existed, if not the greatest. Taking all sorts of genres and molding them into a perfect, flowing masterpiece. Every single song from London Calling to Train In Vain is perfection. Not one song should have been cut. It's The Clash at their best. It's music at it's best. It's the CLASH.

Sep 28, 2011One of the best Rock records I have ever heard. Not just influential in punk rock, but for rock music in general. From the swooning (my favorite) 'Lost in the Supermarket', to the gangster ridden rap of 'The Guns of Brixton.' It's an album that builds from one song to another, making it feel neither dull or repetitive.

Aug 8, 2011One of best albums ever , has 1 or 2 worse songs but overall is brilliant. The Clash made their best , London Calling is ALMOST a masterpiece :) The title song is the best song on it :)

Apr 23, 2011Believe the hype, it really is one of the best albums of all time. This needs to be at least 150 characters long, but to be honest there isn't much else to say.

Oct 19, 2010I dare to say that this is THE best album of all time. Absolutely flawless. This should be seen as the benchmark of a good album. All hail The Clash.

Sep 19, 2010Each listening brings a new pleasure,every song is a sing along. Some of the lines are unforgettable such as ,"he who ..... nuns will later join the church". Just an awesome album for it's time and forever!

BlenderThe demo versions... sound like an incompetent Clash cover band rehearsing in a sock.... If you're considering buying this glorious record for the first time, save 20 bucks and go for the basic version. [Oct 2004, p.136]

Rolling StoneA serious, ridiculously ambitious punk album. [14 Oct 2004, p.100]
