I'll vote it as my fav Wire album from the first period. > Anyone else? The first time I heard D&E, I thought it was absolutely wretched. My friend and I were doing Mick Collins impersonations between each song: "Thank you, thank you. That last number was called [whatever]. Yes, thank you. Here's a new one." But now I'll cast the second vote for fav album of Wire v1. The other albums have gotten old after a few million rotations. Plus D&E has some real gems - "Witness To The Fact" is fantastic.

I'm going to have to pipe in and state that this is also my favorite from Wire MKI, although it did take a few listens before it seriously affected me. I think the energy contained within most of the pieces is phenomenal, not to mention the great banter.
