I get the sense that XTC took a while to become the band they wanted and needed to be. Drums & Wires their third record was frantic and nervy. Very New Wave. But not altogether coherent.The best thing about it is probably its sleeve,
The songs here for the most part seem not entirely sure where they are going. Production is sharp but most of this is destined for evening radio shows. Except for Nigel the band haven't fully worked out how to write sings. They improved vastly when they did.
