There is less overt anger and insolence than in the past, and in its place is plenty of dark weirdness. Truly disturbing at certain points, this album is a challenging listen. This is not a record to slap on while you clean up the house.

Reviews4 Stars - Excellent - "...less New Wavey, in parts industrial-grim...The Cure had a copy of this one...", "154 Picks Up the Gauntlet Laid Down by David Bowie and Brian Eno's First Two Berlin Recordings...", "By the time they set off to record their third album 154, Wire continued to mature and settle more comfortably into a stately, post-punk sound that wound keyboard textures and a thoughtful austerity into their pop framework.", "...a record that improves with age....here the uneasy abstraction of their subject matter...is perfectly matched by the the magnetic attraction of their three principal voices...balanced to great effect as they would rarely be again...", 5 stars out of 5 -- "This one's a classic....While some groups were wondering where post-punk would lead to, Wire had already got there...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "154 is glorious -- banks of synth hang high over the album like trails of purple cloud at sunset. It's fully blown, fully realised..."
