Building upon the foundation of Pink Flag, Wire flushed in a little more synth and keyboards to the mix while maintaining the short punk blasts they were known for.
The watermark for all post-punk roots music. This features the late Jeffrey Lee Pierce's swamped-out brand of roiling rock, swaggerific hell-bound blues, and gothic country.
This album is a complete realization of the Echo & The Bunnymen sound: the driving rhythms, punkadelic guitars and Ian's harrowing voice atop it all....and it's only their first.
