Yes, "Safe European Home" sports one of the most jaw-dropping, monstrous, head-stompingly powerful riffs ever written, but the rest of this album is powerful but *muddled* - the band's messy punk fury worked beautifully on "The Clash" but on this record they expand their sound without refocusing their energy, and that makes the five-minute length of some of these songs a bit inappropriate. The album is sarcastic (a plus) but too short (a minus) -- this is proto-London Calling.
