Reviews5 stars out of 5 -- "A carefully adorned, consciously perfect, neo-classical pop-rock album with echoes of Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd...", 4 Stars - Excellent - "...a more eerie gothic turn, Colin Newman's vocal still essentially a mocking tool, producer Mike Thorne's synths creeping in, mist-like, lending the guitars breathing space...", Included in Q's "100 Best Punk Albums"., "CHAIRS MISSING is the ultimate post-punk album, realized before most of Wire's original audience hashed out the difference between punk and new wave."

Additional InformationThe band's inventive second album adds icy electronics and pop to their razor-sharp punk, kick-starting post-punk and goth in the process.
