Reviews Customer Reviews for Nonsuch      XTC : a great band forever      Rating:      I've been a great fan of XTC in the 80's, when I was about 20 years younger than now (you do your own math). Short after entering the active life, I so much dedicated me to work and family life that I forgot to follow up on my student's life favorite bands. I'm just rediscovering, by chance, what XTC has produced since "Skylarking". Amongst all their albums of the 90's and above, I must say that "Non Such" is a shock to me, as was "English Settlement" when released (in Vinyl that I still have !). Not being a native English speaker person, I certainly miss most of the interest of the lyrics, but the music and melody are sufficient enough to love the band. Non Such : definitely a great XTC album !     Customer Reviews for Nonsuch Cd      Classic XTC      Rating:      This is the first XTC album that I heard, so when I think of classic XTC, this is what I think of. But for long time fans and newcomers alike, this is essential XTC. You get classic XTC pop brilliance with the first few tracks, mixed with the beautiful oddity of songs like "Crocodile," "That Wave," "Then She Appeared," and "Ugly Underneath." And then there are the wonderful ballads like "Wrapped in Grey" and "Books are Burning." In case you care, my personal favorites are "Ugly Underneath" and "Wrapped in Grey." There are a couple of weak tracks here too, notably Colin Moulding's epically repetitive and sucktastic "War Dance," but the length and strength of the rest of the album make up for it. If you do get this, and you probably should, you will be listening to it for a very long time, especially if you have enjoyed anything else that XTC has ever done.
