Review

Wire's debut is the smartest record of the '77 punk explosion, a formally seamless suite of 21 songs in 35 minutes, edited to the bone and graced with allusive, thoughtful lyrics, howled by Colin Newman like political slogans. The band's crisp, precise snap gets an awful lot of mileage out of their three-and-a-half chords, and their attack never lets up. The album's minimal structures and snarly guitar sound are still hugely influential ("12XU" has been covered many times, and Elastica's "Connection" is basically a rewrite of "Three Girl Rhumba"), and its sequence is so perfect that the band that opened for Wire on their reunion tour ten years later simply played Pink Flag straight through, including between-song pauses. --Douglas Wolk Classic 1977 debut album for British punk act. Includes 2 bonus tracks 'Dot Dash' & 'Options R'.1994 Digital Remaster of the Debut Album from Bruce Gilbert, Graham Lewis, Colin Newman and the Cheeky Named Robert Gotobed (Nee Robert Grey). In the Midst of Punks all around in 1977, this Foursome of Art School Students (Where Many Innovative Bands Formed) Met Producer Mike Thorne who Took them Into a Studio and Helped them Forge a Definitive Sound and Studio Technique that was Much More Mature and Experimental Than their Contemporaries. This Album Full of Catchy Songs, Mostly under Three Minutes, was their First Shot Across the Bow that Firmly Established them at the Vanguard of the Coming New Wave. The Orignally Issued 21 Songs Are Augmented by Two CD Extras, "Dot Dash" and "Options R". Includes Full Lyrics.
