I was really looking forward to this album, as XTC never fails to deliver. I wasn't disappointed, and they managed to create an enjoyable and cohesive album.
How fun is "That's Really Super Supergirl"? It was nerdy and sweet, which are not two adjectives that bandy about a lot on this List. The other tracks are great too; "Earn Enough for Us" has been a favorite of mine for years.
While other albums from this decade are firmly situated in the 80s, this sounds like something that could have been released yesterday. If the a worldwide pandemic wasn't unfolding, that is.
RATING: 4/5
