| | Chalkhills: Reviews: XTC: "Upsy Daisy Assortment" |
 | | XTC: Upsy Daisy Assortment -- I've never really been a big XTC fan, and I'm unlikely to ever become one, but I have to grant that this 19-song compilation of their twenty year career is a pretty convincing demonstration of the band's gifts. |
 | | An assortment like this that serves up XTC's strengths, touches all their treasures, and conceals their few missteps, is what a best-of is for. |
 | | Upsy Daisy Assortment is the long overdue greatest-hits album (granted, there was a singles compilation back in 1982) that collects many of them, and what strikes you immediately, especially if you're already a fan, is how consistent the band's vision and execution have been. |
