This album is good but it goes on for way too long. The influences are also more than a little prominent here, but I feel as if it takes away from The Clash's signature sound, that they created on their first few albums.

This looks like the kind of album that requires a serious commitment. The review was good, and it makes me curious to listen to it. Unfortunately, it seems that no review can do such a long album justice.
Seriously, a triple album??

As the review says, split up into 6 parts it really makes sense.

Sort through all the rubbish and there is about 1 1/2 sides of classic Clash.

incrediblyoverlyoverlonglylongly long but a great release at the same time. I would have it at a 4 but the 6th side (Living In Fame-Sepherd's Delight) really sucks ass. It's mostly a bunch of uninteresting jams, plus two re-recordings of already released songs (Junco's Partner, Career Opportunities, to be exact) Not to mention some filler found on the other sides as well. Could have been fuckin' amazing. Instead it feels somewhat bloated :/

Sandanista! is a gold mine. Once you're familiar with the record, break it into parts. Then you take the best parts and make a great album.

Overproduced album. Couple songs are good, rest of them are crap and summary this during over 2,2 hours.

It'll take you a dozen committed listens over three years to boil this mess down to its six good track.. Charlie Don't Surf is a helluva tune though..

Yeah this has always been pretty much impossible for me to get through all the way.

This should have been a single disk..the clash didn't want that.. they wanted to stick it to the man; while I can appreciate that, but it's really hard to sit through every side. There are quite a few great a+ clash tunes on here imo

No problem!
I'm being a little generous with my list, but in reality you're probably best capping at 12 tracks.. I think. I know there's a few songs that people are on the fence about 'the call up' etc, but I dig a little extra.

I don't know.. I realise that this band has objectively a very very spotty catalog.. but at the same time, I'm always willing to cut them a little slack..

Gotcha, for me; It only gets spotty after London Calling.

i don't think it should've been a single disc but i wouldn't complain if the reversed and dub versions were gone tbh
there was a promo thing called sandinista now that djs and reviewers got i think that was basically a single disc version

Ya I saw that, pretty cool!
It's just a very hard record to approach if you're not fully familiar with it and honestly after listening to it for years.. I'm clocking in at an hour roughly. For the life of me I never could justify 2 hours of Sandinista. The dubs are unnecessary numbers (almost as if they had a checklist of every single sound/style they wanted to do here) maybe too ambitious y'know?.. and it's weird because if you break it down you have a very very good album with I want to say at least 10 awesome cuts. I love the Clash and I've been a fan since the 80s, but I have a tough time here.

to get in what i did was listen to each side and hen take a short break before diving into the next one giving myself more time to process what i'd heard making it a slightly less overwhelming listen
