Fourth studio album from The Clash.

Hughesy's assessment: Snap Judgements R Us Mode back in the Wilderness Years saw this sprawling three disk set skimmed and dismissed as "Former punks go mainstream; lose focus", but it's far better than that first impression. No classics, but definitely Worthwhile, particularly the dub elements, some of which work a treat.
