Of all the bands in the rock canon, Wire may be the best embodiment of the term “forward-thinking” that is so vogue nowadays, and Object 47 keeps with the mantra with stunning results.
-
Object 47 does an excellent job of making a leap toward the avant-pop side of the pop/punk wire walked by…uh…Wire on "Chairs Missing" and "154."
-
Deprived of Bruce Gilbert's guitar, these fractious lifers return to and improve on their dance-rock '80s.
-
UncutTheir first album without guitarist Bruce Gilbert draws on their strength as writers of nuanced pop, producing, in the mellow rumble of 'One Of Us,' 'Mekon Headman' and Perspex Icon,' a few more for the next Best Of.
-
Object 47 is proof that Wire’s edge remains as sharp as ever.
-
Even when the vocals are being run through processors and the guitars are distorted, it still feels managed, and a lack of high-range makes it inviting and easy to listen to even at its noisiest.

MojoNeither sparkly nor weird enough. [Sep 2008, p.110]
