Sandinista! is both the antithesis and epitome of punk rock. Juxtapose 3 bloated, studio albums, void of both inner and outer editor, sprawling in musical directions (most of which not considered punk) with a band in "complete control," tearing up the rule book and agreeing to forego royalties on the first 200,000 copies sold in order to sell Sandinista! at an affordable price. The Clash were too talented to be limited to just "Three chords and the Truth." But there's an album's worth of crap here too. Whoever's idea to put kids on "Career Opportunities" should be stomped with doc martin boots. A challenging album ripe for cherry picking.
