Album Notes & Community Reviews
XTC's sophomore release is an intensely hyperactive, highly anxious continuation of their profoundly eccentric art-punk vision. 'Go 2' is a wonderfully manic, rhythmically dissonant new wave record, featuring Andy Partridge's fiercely energetic, remarkably quirky vocal delivery and deeply humorous, slightly futuristic lyrical paranoia.
