No need as it is the weakest of the classic trio

rejamming this now anyway, thought it deserve a full blown 'classic' rating either way.

Album Rating: 5.0
One of my all time favourite post-punk albums (#2 to be exact, and that means much because it is one of my most important genres).
I have the version with the bonus tracks (Get Down Parts I & II and Let's Panic Later are great bonus songs).
Only Virus Meadow by my all time favourite band And Also The Trees is better (for me) but I love how varied 154 is. And released in 1979, it could almost have been released decades later and would have sound fresh enough.
And yes 154 has classic written over it, even if it isn't perfect (that's often the case with experimental stuff).

A Touching Display blew my damn mind. Proto-Earth/Boris

Album Rating: 5.0
When I've first downloaded this record it came without A Touching Display, for some reason. Years later when I was hearing 154 again ATD came up to my surprise and it just floored me. It was as if the track was a monster hybernating that finally decided to show up.
At that moment I started to consider this to be their best record.

Your review captures the innovative qualities of Wire well, and even made me rethink my current 3 star evaluation of the album. I will give it another try soon. I felt, however, that this album, despite all its virtuosity, simply does not speak to me on an emotional level. True, the musicians are in perfect control over the song structures, the soundscapes they draw up, and they dare to go great lengths in their experimentation, but to me it all feels thought out with the head rather than felt through with the heart. (Which, admittedly, is a rather subjective judgment.)
