Review

The 1980 release Black Sea represents the last stand of the punchy, angular new wave that had won XTC strong critical and college radio support. Still arranging with an ear toward the stage they'd soon retire from, they continued working in the "drums and wires" style that had christened their previous release. Black Sea brims with XTC trademarks: engaging guitar hooks, cleverly rendered lyrics, and frenetic, creative melodicism. The material represents the pinnacle of XTC's early incarnation--a counterpoint to contemporary punk imbued with style, rhythmic punch, and melodic charm. --Todd GehmanRemastered reissue of 1980 album features the classic 'Generals And Majors'. Virgin Records. 2001.One of XTC'S Most Commercial Albums, features Three Bonus Songs: "Smokeless Zone," "Don't Lose Your Temper," and "The Somnambulist."
