I hate Jim Derogatis

This splendidly awful review comes from the ever-reliable Chicago Tribune's Jim Derogatis. The solution is worse than the problem. Count the cliches and hasty generalizations per column inch. Keep in mind that Derogatis was drummer in Ex Lion Tamers, a cover band who played the old punk anthems that Wire -- reunited in their mid 1980's synth-pop incarnation -- had too much self-respect to play.
