Indeed. Hooks, choruses, melodies, bridges, refrains, codas, backbeats and non-sleepy tempos are all counter-evolutionary. Rockist, in fact.

My first exposure to Clash was S! so whatever "real" Clash is supposed to be, it's that later, more expansive material that drew me in and which, as a consequence, I'm that bit more partial to. At the same time i can empathise with the likes of Mark Perry who were there from the beginning and were less sanguine about the departure from the initial roots. At the end of the day, for all the blips and missteps, i don't believe you can say they ever went stale or boring anyway.
FWIW I think Mark Perry's criticism was just about the label, not the music (and he's even sort of walked it back since then). After all, he himself left his punk roots behind a lot quicker and a lot more dramatically than the Clash - he was playing experimental free jazz and consorting with hippies within a few years.
I totally agree with you though. S! was also my first Clash record and although I didn't really "get it" for years, it's now one of my favorite albums of all time. I'll always have a soft spot for snotty punk but I'm really glad to have been exposed to so many different things through the band's evolution.

Real Clash music is noisy, passionate, intense and cathartic. Castrated Clash is not.

Simple as that, really.
