Still hard to wrap my head around a well over two-hour-long album with this much going on with it but it solves the one problem I have with London Calling; those experiments worked for the most part but were skin deep and the end result was just really fun (but unique) pop songs. Sandinista just drops all pretense of good sense and does what the **** it wants, when the **** it wants, how the **** it wants, and always with an effortless sense of cool. And it usually knocks it out of the park too. Whether it'll be my fav Clash album I don't know but it's definitely their most exciting by a factor of at least ten.
