My First Music Review

One of the advantages of having a blog is that you can find used CDs. These are less expensive than new CDs. The other day, I received a copy of London Calling by The Clash.

This is an odd little CD that doesn’t seem to be able to decide exactly what style of music it wants to be, though it is all pretty unimpressive. The entire affair is only made worse by the horrible singing throughout the record. I was surprised that this amateurish work was in fact put out by a major record label.

I can see this band catching a wave and having some moderate success for a short while for novelty’s sake, but London Calling is poorly conceived, composed, recorded, everything. Definitely a must own for ironic hipsters with too much spare cash burning a hole in their pockets.

As for me, I’ll stick to my Arcade Fire.
