Our Take

Album Review: WIRE - 154

It's not every day that an album comes along that completely defies categorization. But that's exactly what British art punks Wire have achieved with their latest release, "154." This album is a wild and unpredictable ride from start to finish, blending elements of punk, post-punk, and experimental noise in a way that only Wire can pull off.

From the opening track, "I Should Have Known Better," it's clear that Wire are not interested in playing it safe. The song starts off with a relentless drumbeat before exploding into a cacophony of jagged guitars and frantic vocals. It's a bold statement of intent from a band who have never been afraid to push boundaries.

Throughout the album, Wire continue to surprise and delight with their inventive songwriting and fearless experimentation. Tracks like "Map Ref. 41°N 93°W" and "Indirect Enquiries" showcase the band's knack for creating intricate and compelling sonic landscapes, while songs like "The Other Window" and "12XU" pack a powerful punch with their aggressive energy.

Overall, "154" is a thrilling and audacious album that solidifies Wire's status as one of the most innovative bands in the punk and post-punk scenes. It's a challenging listen, to be sure, but one that rewards repeat listens with its depth and complexity. Wire have once again proven that they are true masters of their craft, and "154" is a testament to their uncompromising vision and creativity. Don't miss out on this one, folks.
