There isn't one XTC album that doesn't have more good on it than bad, IMO. My favorite album is English Settlement in a landslide. Skylarking always gets a lot of props and it is a fine album, I love the Colin Moulding contributions to it, I do think that Andy Partridge was a little too much of a newfangled Paul McCartney in spots to prefer it over the much grittier, tougher English Settlement, but that should not be taken as a slag as I like it a lot.
