Wire are a legendary bunch who've produced almost no fluff during their distinguished career. After recording their most well-known and influential work in the late '70s and early '80s, they disbanded for a time.

This record feels like the early Wire, but only to a point. Musically, it is less aggressive. Lyrically, it replaced despairing cynicism with a resigned or critical version. Wire lyrics have always been fascinating, even when you cannot make any literal meaning from them, they always leave you with an impression.

This is a very long record with many satisfying songs. Listen and enjoy!
