If this thread had 'other'... that is what I'd give this album.
It's massive in more ways than one.
Experimental (for the Clash) to say the least.
Urban...if punks have described this album as "prog rock", then they've missed the point.
This is The Clash gone mad!
And it's a good thing. It's ambitious, experimental, crap in places and brilliant in others.
More importantly it works and to some tune.
In a word essential.
Anyone who loves music (and this album is not just for punks) should take a journey into 'Sandinista'.
You may not like it (all) but you can't ignore it.
Great call.
