4.0 excellent | lz41 | September 17th 13 | Unfairly demoted to a ''sell-out'' album, ''Give ''Em Enough Rope'' acts as a commendable bridge between the raw anger of ''The Clash'' and the sprawling fragmentation of ''London Calling''. The UK punk scene is still audible here; indeed, the heavier sound of the production gives several songs a pounding sense of importance and fury, most notably ''English Civil War'', arguably the band's most incendiary song. There are a couple of songs that are seemingly hesitant over whether to be raw or sophisticated, but ''Give ''Em Enough Rope'' is nonetheless a strong album.

3.5 great | TheManMachine | June 27th 13 | Being wedged between two undeniably classic albums, this one often gets looked over in comparison. While it doesn't capture the raw debut punk magic of the earlier or the all-encompassing eclecticism of the latter, what it does deliver is expected Clash solidity - even if it's somewhat inconsistent.
