Amazon.com essential recording It speaks volumes about the mid-'70s music scene that the Clash's explosive debut was viewed as too provincial and raw for U.S. consumption upon its original English release in 1977. No matter--between Joe Strummer's marble-mouthed howls of righteous rage on songs like "Career Opportunities" ("The ones that never knock"), "I'm So Bored with the USA" ("Yankee dollars talk to the dictators of the world"), and "White Riot" ("I wanna riot / A riot of my own"), and the furious instrumental assault led by guitarist Mick Jones, the Clash became a hot import strictly on word of mouth--and helped establish the band as one of leaders of rock's punk revolt. --Billy Altman Similar CDs

CD ReviewsPunk classic and more John Alapick | Wilkes-Barre, PA United States | 06/24/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "The Clash's self-titled debut is considered one of punk rock's greatest albums. This is a true statement as some of the genre's best songs are found here. No band in the genre would attack social injustices as intelligently as the Clash. "White Riot", "London's Burning", "I'm So Bored with the U.S.A.", and "Career Opportunities" are punk classics as the band plays them with passion that borders on joy. This was not an act. They believed in their music and lyrics. The lesser known tunes like "Janie Jones", "Hate & War", and "What's My Name" are played with the same vigor and are nearly as good. Found amongst the fury are more traditional rock songs like "Jail Guitar Doors" and "Remote Control" as well as the quasi-reggae of "(White Man) in Hammersmith Palais" and "Police and Thieves", all of which continue their strong lyrical statements. As with their future albums, Joe Strummer sings the majority of the lyrics and the angry songs while Mick Jones usually sings the more "commercial" stuff. The Clash is a classic of the genre and along with their third album, London Calling, is a must have. Highly recommended."
