I've given it more listens and I'm more convinced now. I seem to be liking records with a lot of short tracks more and more.

One of the funnest albums of all time. Listening to it just makes me want to dance erratically. Perfect

I understand why this album was so overlooked it was years ahead of its time. It sounds fresh today. The songs are short in length but they cover a lot of ground musically.

This is my all time favorite punk album. They really had their own style within that general real description of "Punk" precise, cutting edge to this day.

An indispensible punk masterpiece. But WIRE isn't a punk band. This is punk as art, rock stripped down, minimilism perfected. D. Boon picked up his tricks here. Forget the punk, just masterpiece.
