Wasp Star (Apple Venus Volume 2) finds Partridge and Moulding at the top of their game, making the collection a fitting match for past XTC triumphs...
-
XTC proudly displays its roots while subsuming them into a larger sound, one that is wholly their own.
-
Dense with upbeat, guitar-based songs, Wasp Star brings to mind the best of mid-'60s pop (think the Beatles, the Beach Boys, and the Kinks).
-
It's a great bunch of songs, and it solidifies the notion that XTC are back from the wilderness and ready to rock the show.
-
Its boisterous, melodic rock is invigorating to hear from a storm-weathered, 24-year old band.
-
These twelve songs are streamlined, uncluttered miniatures.
-
The balance of the album is crammed to capacity with placeholders for more fully developed ideas.
