Joe Strummer - Rock Art And The X-ray Style C • CDs • Vinyl Records • LPs • Music Albums

lyrical form is a delight throughout, shofting mood between resignation and defiance, testing old conceits of the Last Gang In Town against '90s reality..."

CMJ (11/8/99, p.27) - "...interested [more] in pointed protest rather than aimless nihilism. The protests continue here....[while] his lower-key approach allows ska and worldbeat grooves to help carry the message."
Alternative Press (1/00, p.101) - 3 out of 5 - "...an eclectic mix of world beats and textures that yeild mixed results....an exceedingly mellow affair...the songs are pleasant..."
Entertainment Weekly (11/26/99, p.98) - "...there are some catchy tunes....And just hearing Strummer's distinctive rasp - which sounds exactly the same all these years later - is oddly heartening." - Rating: B-
CMJ (11/29/99, p.3) - "...Strummer has matured, no longer forcing his idealism upon you, rather, presenting it to you with a self-assured verve that exhibits a new kind of passion.
