I'm chiefly a singles guy with them with the exception of the last two albums, the Apple Venus discs, which are a superb swan song for the group.

Oingo fucking Boingo?

You need someone like me to do you a real "Introduction to XTC" comp.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Black Sea is their most accessible album. English Settlement their most rewarding on multiple listens. Mummer is their most underrated.

Those three plus Drums and Wires are the ones I'm most familiar with.

If none of those four can reel you in they might not be for you. Even though I'm a fan they have released quite a few average to bad songs in their career. It's just that all the good to great ones totally make up for them.
