Reviews3 stars out of 5 - "...Wistful, often wry, but always intelligent pop. Always have done, always will do...", 7 out of 10 - "...An album of well-constructed guitar songs....a surprisingly decent album, as good as anything they've ever made...", "...Makes like a British Steely Dan, surrounding themselves with slick session hands who fuss over the recipes for warmed-over rock'n'roll casserole...", 3 stars out of 5 - "...Returns to basic rhythm-guitar rock...following the contours of their melodies, resisting the impulse to endlessly embellish - the songs are streamlined, uncluttered miniatures...", 3 out of 5 - "...The bulk of WASP STAR could get XTC card-carrying memberships in the Traveling Wilburys alongside Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, George Harrison and Jeff Lynne...", "...Harks back to old-school XTC....driven by hooks and harmonies...and all the tracks have that warm, rustic sensibility...", "...A collection of guitary pop songs which may well be the band's most straightforward set ever....few people make records like this any more; big-hearted, brainy, funny and poignant..."
Have this on CD but as I'm rediscovering my vinyl thought I would try this remastered copy. Absolutely brilliant sound. Thoroughly recommend any fan of XTC buying it.
