I'd say yes overall they were far more consistent. Nary a clunker in the XTC catalog though the Beatles latter releases (for me) kind of lost the plot.(let it be,abby road and the white album) sure there were some really great tunes buried in there but there was also Ob la Di, ob la da,dig a pony,and mean mr mustard. While XTC was absolutely inspired by the beatles my personal opinion is they did it better.


The White Album is a grimoire of Headness. A beautiful tapestry of spooky/pop/rock/folk/experimental weirdness that all makes sense and hangs together like spending some time in your favourite musty glorious Head attic. It HAS to be listened to in one sitting though. Set and setting. It weaves itself. Their finest achievemnent.
