Mission of Burma
"Vs."
I haven't given this a spin since 2006, so it'll be interesting to hear an acclaimed, albeit overlooked and underlistened album for me. I was so obsessed with Wire the summer that I bought this that I overlooked pretty much every post-punk album I bought.
I recall thinking this album was much slower and less engaging than what Im listening to at the moment. Not only is this a
really noisy album, but all of the instruments are really tight, and everything sort of clicks together perfectly, like on Television's "Marquee Moon".
I like this ALOT better now than 3 years ago, when it was an album I couldn't understand and wouldn't hold my attention. Perhaps my affection for No Age has bridged the gap. In any case, I'm going to be listening to this alot more after digging it out.
