Aye.

(Even though near every XTC lp/cd is patchy. And, yes, even though his singing/voice gets tiresome after a few twacks)

Also yer fav two twacks.

Bad thing about the band:

the drummer absolutely sucks. Simple-nothing.
Their first drummer - first two lps - was at least a wee interesting.

Terry Chambers is on all 5 albums up to and including English Settlement. Various different drummers used after they became a non touring studio outfit. Not drummers who I would say suck including Prairie Prince (Tubes) and Dave Mattacks (Fairport Convention)
