Album Review:
The Clash sounded like they could do anything on London Calling. For its
triple-album follow-up, Sandinista!, they tried to do everything, adding dub,
rap, gospel, and even children's choruses to the punk, reggae, R&B, and roots
rock they already were playing. Instead of presenting a band with a far-reaching
vision, like London Calling did, Sandinista! plays as a messy, confused jumble,
which means that its numerous virtues are easy to ignore. Amid all the dub
experiments, backward tracks, unfinished songs, and instrumentals, there are a
number of classic Clash songs that rank among the band's best, including "Police
on My Back," "The Call Up," "Somebody Got Murdered," "Charlie Don't Surf,"
"Hitsville U.K.," and "Lightning Strikes (Not Once but Twice)," yet it's
difficult for anyone but the most dedicated listeners to find them. A few of the
failed ideas were worth exploring, but even more -- like the children's choir
version of "Career Opportunities" or the Terry Doggs song "Lose This Skin" --
weren't even worth pursuing. As the cliche says, there's a great single album
within these three records, and those songs make Sandinista! worthwhile.
Nevertheless, its sloppy attack is disheartening after the tour de force of
London Calling and the focused aggression of The Clash. [In 2000 Columbia/Legacy
reissued, remastered, and restored the artwork for Sandinista!]
