Critic Reviews
Wire is a legend, a living legend who keeps setting itself on fire till it's totally burned.
It is just a mixed bag for me. I did enjoy half of the tracks here but I don't care for the other half but I respect Wire for keep releasing albums and not really falling off too hard.

Shadows 6.5/10

Average: 6.1/10
The songs all sound very similar to each other and it doesn't feel all that much like a progression in sound from the previous few albums, maybe even a downgrade.
