The Clash – Combat Rock (1982/2013)

On the surface of things, Combat Rock appears to be a retreat from the sprawling stylistic explorations of London Calling and Sandinista! The pounding arena rock of “Should I Stay or Should I Go” makes the Clash sound like an arena rock band, and much of the album boasts a muscular, heavy sound courtesy of producer Glyn Johns. But things aren’t quite that simple. Combat Rock contains heavy flirtations with rap, funk, and reggae, and it even has a cameo by poet Allen Ginsberg — if this album is, as it has often been claimed, the Clash’s sellout effort, it’s a very strange way to sell out. Even with the infectious, dance-inflected new wave pop of “Rock the Casbah” leading the way, there aren’t many overt attempts at crossover success, mainly because the group is tearing in two separate directions. Mick Jones wants the Clash to inherit the Who’s righteous arena rock stance, and Joe Strummer wants to forge ahead into black music. The result is an album that is nearly as inconsistent as Sandinista!, even though its finest moments — “Should I Stay or Should I Go,” “Rock the Casbah,” “Straight to Hell” — illustrate why the Clash were able to reach a larger audience than ever before with the record.

The Clash is the debut studio album by the English punk rock band of the same name. Released in 1977, it was mostly written on the 18th floor of a high-rise council flat rented by Mick Jones’ grandmother. The recording of the album took place over three weekend sessions at CBS Studio 3 in February 1977. The album is pure, unadulterated rage and fury, fueled by passion stemming from political and social disenfranchisement that many faced in the UK in the late 1970s, and the music is driven by relentless energy; the songs stripped down to bare-bones, three-chord rockers.
The album was well-received by critics and peaked at number 12 on the UK charts, while American critic Robert Christgau gae the album an A rating and stated, “Cut for cut, this may be the greatest rock and roll album…ever manufactured.”
