Análisis (en inglés) - :
{$XTC} continue on with the big drum sound of {^Drums and Wires}, adding more polish and an even heavier-hitting approach for {^Black Sea} -- their arrangements are fuller and they rock harder than ever before. Where {^Drums and Wires} implied social commentary, {^Black Sea} more directly addresses sociopolitical concerns, handling them not strictly in a theoretical sense, but rather showing a human response to the circumstances. Of course, the band's skewed outlook and mid-'60s {\pop} sense keeps things from becoming too heavy -- included are some of their finest songs, like {&"Respectable Street,"} {&"Generals and Majors,"} and {&"Towers of London,"} as well as the thoroughly enjoyable {\pop} fluff throwaway {&"Sgt. Rock (Is Going to Help Me)"} to keep the mood light. All in all, there isn't a bad song in the bunch -- {^Black Sea} is their most consistent album to date -- and although {$XTC} always operated on the fringes, the album is their most commercial-sounding, fitting in perfectly with the {\new wave} of the late '70s/early '80s. [The 2002 CD reissue appends three bonus tracks: {&"Smokeless Zone,"} {&"Don't Lose Your Temper,"} and {&"The Somnambulist."}] ~ Chris Woodstra, All Music Guide
