Wire - Pink Flag
Wire - Chairs Missing
Wire - 154
"Pink Flag" can be described as a fusion between The Ramones, The Clash and the Sex Pistols. This is fun music to listen to and can easily make its way into any party playlist.
However, "Chairs Missing" and "154" have a very different sound then "Pink Flag".
"Chairs Missing" is somewhat similar to "Pink Flag" but has a more ambient sound to be it, arguably similar to Brian Eno (as some critics have noted). However, I think that "Chairs Missing" has a remarkable resemblance to Joy Division and Iggy Pop's early solo work (The Idiot). While dark, there is a catchy-ness to it that doesn't let the dark side of the songs weigh the album down.

"154" is even darker and more ambient-sounding then "Chairs Missing." "154" almost sounds like the child of David Bowie's "Low" and Public Image Ltd.'s "Second Edition." Or maybe even Joy Division's "Closer" and Nine Inch Nail's "The Downward Spiral." While I hated "Second Edition" and I am not the biggest fan of Nine Inch Nail's, there is something very appealing to me about "154". It's probably the subtle hints of the punk-rock genre, something extremely prevalent in "Pink Flag."
Awesome, awesome tunes!
