By the time the Clash came to record London Calling, they began to delve into different genres, notably reggae, and I think they lost some of their punk edge in the process.

Still, a great band though.

They deliver a breakdown in a way that makes you feel like you never heard a breakdown before. If you ever liked a Hatebreed song but thought their albums are too samey then you need this.
