I had an Elastica phase earlier in the year. Even though the Wire ripoffs are totally shameless I tend to enjoy them more than the actual Wire songs. Some really great 2 minute singles on that first record. I never tracked down the second album apart from hearing tracks on live boots or BBC sessions.
I was really shocked when people were so negative about The Menace when it came out. It was one of my favorite albums of the year. KB, Human, Mad Dog, Generator, The Way I Like It...a lot of good tracks on it. It just doesn't sound like the first album.
The BBC Sessions CD is probably the best distillation of what made they great, though.

When I was 11 I thought Nirvane was metal. True story.
