Minimalistische punk, post-punk voor punk al ten onder ging. Met het immer schitterende nummer "Three Girl Rumba".
Nummers van een halve minuut of zelfs minder.
De groep was punk maar stond met het nummer "mannequin" al aan de wieg van een nieuwe muziek stroming, de New Wave.
En was een voorbeeld voor bvb Talking Heads enz.
Met andere woorden een echt klassieker

Great Albums - 1970s: #Wire – #PinkFlag (1977). If “punk” meant following nobody’s rules but your own, Wire were the ultimate punks. With dazzling originality, Wire burned through 21 songs, the shortest less than a minute long. There’s plenty of noise but also a keen regard for melody, making “Ex-Lion Tamer” and “Mannequin” something akin to normal music. A fiercely energetic work that anticipated the next two decades in alternative rock.
