"Combat Rock" is the fifth studio album by The Clash, released in 1982. It was their most commercially successful album, reaching number two on the UK Albums Chart and number seven on the US Billboard 200. The album features the hit single "Rock the Casbah," which reached number eight on the US Billboard Hot 100 and became one of the band's most popular songs.
The album is considered a departure from the band's earlier punk sound and incorporates more elements of funk, reggae, and pop music. The lyrics on the album are more personal and introspective than the band's earlier politically charged material.
"Combat Rock" received generally positive reviews upon its release and has since been hailed as one of the band's best albums. It has been included in several lists of the greatest albums of all time, including Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" and NME's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time."
The album sold over 2 million copies worldwide and it was the last album the band released with Mick Jones, who was fired from the band in 1983.
