The ClashThe Clash

Rated 6/10

I've never gotten the hype around The Clash; It's just mild punk rock.

Somehow both silly for the sake of it and awfully pedestrian. It's like the rock version of someone writing a derivative sonata but adding Rzewskian extended techniques.

People on this website are so darn dramatic. I was expecting a pure cacophony, like 5 saxophones playing quarter-tones apart in 57/16. It wasn't that crazy. If I hadn't known the reputation of the album, maybe I would have had a different experience... but I had such a good time listening to this. Doesn't feel like 80 minutes at all.

The instrumental tracks sound like they were bought online wholesale. So generic and boring! Why Does this guy get 4 solo albums!?

This sounds like something you'd listen to live. Not voluntarily, but you'd enjoy it.

Alright. Nothing much to say about the music. The cover, though, is dreadful. It seems like it was made on Canva for an album a family would put together for Christmas.

I was falling in and out of sleep for unrelated reasons to this album so my review is not very solid but I enjoyed this album whenever I was awake. Lots of fadeouts. Last song was banging

Rated 8/10

Felt like the same song multiple times, but it wasn't too bad of a song. Fun.

Pretty good. I don't feel like ever listening again but if I was forced to I would enjoy it
