Our Take

Ah, WIRE. The band that's been around longer than most of us have been alive, yet still manages to sound fresh and innovative. Their second album, Chairs Missing, is a prime example of their ability to constantly reinvent themselves while staying true to their post-punk roots.

From the opening track, "Practice Makes Perfect," it's clear that WIRE is not here to play it safe. The angular guitar riffs and cryptic lyrics set the tone for the rest of the album, which jumps from genre to genre with reckless abandon. One moment you're nodding your head along to the infectious groove of "I Am The Fly," and the next you're being assaulted by the abrasive noise of "Heartbeat."

But what really sets Chairs Missing apart is its willingness to experiment. Tracks like "Outdoor Miner" and "Marooned" push the boundaries of what punk rock can be, incorporating elements of electronica and ambient music to create a truly unique listening experience. It's a risky move, but WIRE pulls it off with aplomb.

In the end, Chairs Missing is a testament to WIRE's enduring greatness. It's not always an easy listen, but it's never boring. So strap in, dear reader, and prepare to be taken on a wild, genre-bending ride through the twisted mind of one of music's true pioneers.
