It’s…the other guy from Wire.
As great as Chairs Missing was, 154 was just all right.
And we just heard Bruce Gilbert’s nonsense recently.
I’m not a Wire historian so I don’t know what compelled them to pull a Kiss and go solo but it certainly wasn’t to sell records cuz no one really heard of Wire, let alone were clamoring for more Wire.
The bass driven (no surprise, considering Lewis is the bassist for said parent band) opener sets the tone for to monotone industrial near atonality of this thing. If it wasn’t so ugly it would be somewhat interesting. Instead it’s more like someone listened to Scary Monsters and Super Creeps over and over during a bender and recorded a record with no one giving advice on when to stop.
