Give 'Em Enough Rope
From Wacklepedia - The Free Encyclopedia
Give 'Em Enough Rope is
The Clash's second album. It was released in
1978 by CBS Records. After the success of
The Clash, expectations were high, and, when released,
Give 'Em Enough Rope was treated harshly by the critics. It has since become the most obscure of the band's albums, although some of its songs remain fairly popular among the group's fans.
Give 'Em Enough Rope also shows how the band was developing musically, heading away from the straight punk of 'White Riot' or 'I'm So Bored with the U.S.A.', and moving toward the diversity of
London Calling.
