Clash's 'Sandinista!' lacks direction THE CLASH: "SANDINISTA!" (EPIC) The CBS Records truck arrived the other day with this new album by The Clash. It took two guns to carry the album in here, and I had to go out of the living room to make room for it. But you really shouldn't have bothered, for the sad fact is that "Sandinista!" amounts to nothing more than an ill-conceived, half-baked, premature "White Album" (complete with—believe it or not—a "Revolution 9." ripoff, "Men'sford Hill"). By STEVE GREENWOOD Contributing Reviewer THIS IS the album for you if you've been yearning to hear The Clash perform esatz funk ("The Magnificent Seven"), erats gospel ("The Sound of Simers"), ersatz hoedown ("Lose This Sound of Simers"), ersatz beatnik even even beatnik beattik jazz ("Look Here")—trivialization of a Mossle Allison original, no less). So here it is, endurance buffs: thirty-six songs by the Clash in two and a half hours on a mamthm three-record set. Three records!! Guitarist Joe Strummer uses the Clash's 1980 recording sessions yielded a surfeit of material and they simply wanted to see if they could play it better. One album worth of it for less than triple price (in England) retails for single-album price). This spirit of eclecticism could have made "Sandinista!" a tour de force for The Clash if the material had any real substance or direction. And the one-dimensional production and mix rob the few fully-realized ideas ("If Music Could Talk," "Lighting Strikes") of any vitality or presence they might have had. Even The Clash's experiments with dub, a reggae Review production technique whereby parts of pre-recorded instrumentation are treated with various echo effects, were utilized much better on side two of last year2, "Black Market Clash"). The pervasive superficiality works to the benefit of the material in only one instance out of thirty-six: "Ivan Meets G. J. Joe" stages the final U.S./Soviet showdown in the perfect setting for a meeting of modern technology and modern amorality—a disco, of course! HAVING TWO children handle the vocals on a nursery-rhyme rendition of "Career Opportunities" was a clever bit of arch-cynicism, but who'd want to listen to it more than once? One would think the topic of conscription would provide ample time for a classic by The Clash. Another would be a work by a composer, sung by Strummer and Mick Jones and sounds as if they're only half-awake after a bad dream. Two decent rockers, "The Leader" and "Police on My Back" (neither written by the band), very nearly make the grade, but once again the performances lack just enough spark to keep the band from bringing them all the way home. There was a time when the words "The Leader" label promised fire, not just pleasant background music for "wave parties." No longer. There is, perhaps, enough passable material here for one single LP—one that would still be marked inferior to all other albums by the Clash. For only a few dollars more than the cost of this exercise in tedium, the casual listener could acquire both "The Clash" and "London Calling"—some of the most devastating rock 'n' roll ever to leap off a sliver of plastic. DURING THE EARLY and mid-1970s, rock 'n' roll was brought to a virtual standstill by a deplehlable situation in which the more popular bands were unreasonably revered and were years, sometimes decades, past their creative peaks. The myth overshadowed the reality (the Rolling Stones and the Grateful Dead are two of the more blastant examples), and this blindness did not stop many from being for many years the development of newer bands with fresher ideas and blood. The Clash and their fans have the benefit of hindight and are supposedly determined not to let themselves contribute to another overall stagnation. We shall see . . .
