The Clash's eponymous self-titled debut album was pure, unadulterated rage and fury, fuelled by a passion for both rock & roll and revolution. Though the cliche about punk rock was that the bands couldn't play, the key to the Clash is that although they gave that illusion, they really could play, and hard.
The charging, relentless rhythms, primitive three-chord rockers, and sound quality give the album a nervy, vital energy. Joe Strummer's slurred wails perfectly complement the edgy rock, while Mick Jones' clearer singing and charged guitar breaks make his numbers righteously anthemic.
