"By their next LP, the Clash's producer was boasting of "more guitars per square inch than anything in the history of Western civilisation". London Calling offers so much to listen to that it's possible to miss most of the words between the opening line and the end of the chorus."
F&%# $hit. I'll never forget the lyrics to "London Calling" because of some bloody guitars, that are awesome by the way. As a young Yank, this song was my Clash introduction and they're one of my, if not the, favorite bands ever since. RIP Strummer.
Well said Nevzter! That article was a load of trumped up pretentious w**k. They played 'Bank Robber' on BBC 6 Music this morning. Great listening. Great band.
It's not intellectual. It's pseudo-intellectual: more concerned with big words than with meaning.
