| | Treble: XTC - Drums and Wires |
 | | Between the scratchy post-punk chords of their singles and the "Don't Fear The Reaper"-sounding riff from "Ten Feet Tall," there was no shortage of impressive riffage and solos, something that XTC never overdid but never ceased to amaze in terms of impressiveness. |
 | | In some ways, Drums and Wires was a debut for XTC, not just in countries outside of their British home, but stylistically as well. |
 | | Drums and Wires, however, was a greatly different, showing not only musical virtuosity, but monumental songwriting, some of the best of the post-punk era. |
