5.0 out of 5 stars Short and Sweet, May 19, 2003
By Scott McFarland (Manassas, VA United States) - See all my reviews
Their best album in about 15 years, by my count. This album seems to mark a reenergized Wire, the kings of minimalist noise, who being older and wiser have gained a keen awareness of their strengths and weaknesses, and are ready and willing to make some more classic albums/CDs.

The sound harkens back to "Pink Flag" in that it is full of energy and full of insistent guitar buzz. This is a harsher sound, though. My first response to the album was "blimey, they should have more dynamics in the songs - maybe start with one distorted guitar for a minute before moving on to two". But, it hit me more correctly later. It's a mood. It's a cold, hard, angry mood.

Albums like "Manscape", while not entirely successful, hinted at what Wire can reflect - a harsh portrait of a world that has become a heartless system, where human emotion is something to be studied and manipulated rather than mythologized. Well, we're very much in that world. We're in a world dominated by a nation seemingly run by a shadow government, whose leaders tell demonstrably false lies to a population almost desperate to believe in myth. The aggression in this music, combined with the usual harsh bleak landscape, seems to me to perfectly mirror our times.

In short, it's effective art. Harsh, minimal art. If you've been a fan of Wire at any point, you should give this a spin or three.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wire comes full circle., August 23, 2003
By Kyle E. Nipp "nipplash" (Mesa, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Listening to the following CD it is hard to believe that this band has been playing together in some form or another for over 25 years.This has to be the best Wire album outside the initial 3.I am suprise how this CD sounds alot like some of the Chicago area bands that were inspired by Wire in the 80's like Big Black,(Early)Naked Raygun and The Effigies.This is one of the most bombastic albums I heard since Big Black's 'Songs abouth F***N.The music is very abrasive,like Big Black's sound.The sound of this CD is kinda like Low-Fi/Hi-Fi industrial with Guitars that sounds like they were recorded by plugging straight into the mixing board.The vocals sounds like primitive version of Wire's 154 era.So if your a fan of Wire,Big Black,The Fall,Gang of Four I could not praise this cd enough so please go out and buy it maybe we can encourage others to start making decent music again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful music., May 15, 2003
By Tibor Bozi "needthetruth" (Echo Bay, ON. Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Wow! First let this music wash all over you and then upon the second listen let it pound you into submission. But make sure you play your stereo at full volume both times if you can take it. This music restores my faith in the fact that a band can still rock and roll without the profit motive dangling like a carrot on a stick in front of their noses. The listener must realize that Bruce Gilbert (guitarist) is now 57 years old and this is the kind of fresh music that the group is still capable of. I don't think the same could be said of the Rolling Stones when Jagger and/or Richards were the same age. Thank you Wire. I can hardly wait for your next burst of creative energy.
