Music reviews of Burning London: The Clash Tribute
Music Review: let me get this right...
Rating: 1 Stars
when the exec's were sitting around discussing who should sing the songs on this cd there was someone in that group that stood up and said " let's get the Indigo Girls to sing Clampdown". You have got to be kidding me. This CD is a total waste of money and time. The other covers are lame as well. Some things you just leave alone. The Beatles, Jimi, Dylan etc. The Clash is one of those groups that there is no band that can or should cover them. I am actualy suprised that the record exec's didn't get Barry Manilow to sing Death or Glory. Wow, Joe must be spinning in his grave on this one. They didn't have a zero so I gave it a 1 star.
Description of Burning London: The Clash Tribute
One doesn't necessarily associate punk firebrands the Clash with the radio-ready likes of Third Eye Blind and No Doubt. But in the years since the demise of the Clash, their impact, once localized to the punk underground, has seeped up from the gutter they once championed. ("The truth," rasped Joe Strummer in one of his more memorable couplets, "is known only by guttersnipes.") Burning London affords a dozen-plus popular late-'90s performers the opportunity to tip their hats to the erstwhile scourges of the mainstream. The results, as is common with such tributes, are wildly mixed. The highlights here exhibit a less-than-reverent perspective on this timeworn material. Moby and Heather Nova turn "Straight to Hell" into a haunting echo of the Combat Rock prototype, while Cracker's cowpunk trashing of "White Riot" would've sounded at home on an album by frontman David Lowery's great old band, Camper Van Beethoven. On the downside, Indigo Girls' "Clampdown" is an artless revision of one of the Clash's least artful songs, and the likes of Third Eye Blind and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones bring nothing new to "Train in Vain" and "Rudie Can't Fail," respectively. If the featured bands are the draw here, help yourself. But if you're curious about the Clash, the group's bursting-at-the-seams debut and watershed London Calling will serve as superior introductions to a mighty band. --Steven StolderGeneral CDs
