I like Combat Rock... but then again, I am a flaming Clash fanboy. I'll never like it as much as Give 'Em Enough Rope but I think the amount of experimentation is just about right. The first half is fairly strong, the second half is a bit dry and Death is a Star is a pretty cool way to close the album IMO. I'll never understand all the the criticism this collects... especially the accusations of selling out.
