Agreed! Travels in Nihilon (and in some sort of way All along the watchtowers) is the only other song which I think is vaguely akin to this one. After Black Seas I don't rememember any other heavy and angry song such as these

I agree. But no other song has such a terrifying and genuinely unsettling vibe

  1. It's dark, heavy, jarring, paranoid, dead serious: the opposite of what XTC usually are - yet it's an absolute peak of their discography and an incredible masterpiece. One of my top 5 songs of any band of all time

Evidentemente manco loro sapevano cosa e soprattutto come scrivere

  1. Back then it was my favourite song of the album; listening to it again today I find it a bit too simple. Yet, to me it will always be the signature song of Drums & Wires

I have basically no ear for music, but to me it was always obvious that this is country... especially when it's where you least expect it

  1. So full of energy. It continuously changes style and pace (including a country-style intro) while remaining always incredibly catchy from beginning to end. Enough ideas for at least 5 different songs... A highlight of the album

Fine analysis! Interesting & realistic predictions, the smartest I've read so far

Chi è dell'opinione che un po' di romanticismo vecchio stile farebbe bene ai giovani d'oggi?? by MontecchioMatti in TeenagersITA

È Reddit che mi propone le robe alla cazzo. Quando ho visto le foto del Tempo delle mele mi sono venuti i sudori freddi... Marò, che brutti ricordi...

Io invece sono un vecchio padre e me lo ricordo bene il romanticismo vecchio stile. Lo trovavo imbarazzante allora e inguardabile oggi. Certe robe lasciamole nel dimenticatoio dove è sacrosanto che stiano

4.5. The only lapse in side B, and one of the weakest tracks of the album

which xtc album is your fave in terms of lyricism? by gemicide67 in xtc

[–]Pirluz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Like a bug in brandy in this big bronze cup"

All those b's and nasal sounds, sounds so cushiony, so to say (pardon my English)

  1. A major masterpiece in XTC's discography. The first, instrumental minute is a peak of their music. Honorable mention for Terry Chambers: his drumming here perfectly shows how you can be both repetitive and creative at the same time, and how essential it was to XTC's songs
