Good But Not Great is an Apt DescriptionI agree with the other reviewer that this album by Wire is good but not great. I think Send may be the best thing they've done since the heyday years of Pink Flag/154/Chairs Missing, and while this one is still sharp and on target, the overall quality level does not match that of Send. But this is comparing the album to other Wire releases - if this was a new band and this was their first release, I would think, "Wow, these guys are interesting - I want to hear more from them!" The sound is very…
Good but not greatI've been very excited for the release of this album, especially after Wire's previous album, the very impressive Send and the terribly great EP Read & Burn 03, but this release is a little bit disappointing. Plenty of good songs, which sound similar to some of Colin Newman's solo albums, but the music and lyrics can be tedious in a few places, although they do carry through the variation and repetition of the other recent material. Worth buying for the Wire fan, but I would get Send or R&B03 first.
