Send is the tenth album by the English rock group Wire. It was their first recording as a 4 piece since Manscape (1990) and the first full-length release by any incarnation of the group since 1991.
All tracks written by Wire.
Initial mail-order copies of the album came with a bonus live album "WIRE - Metro, Chicago, 14th September 2002". It was reported that this inclusion came about due to concern being raised at the fact that the majority of Send had already been available on the group's two Read & Burn EPs, issued in 2002.
The album was reissued with a bonus CD and expanded liner notes by Wilson Neate in 2010 as Send Ultimate.
Mojo Magazine ranked Send at 10 on their best albums of 2003 list. The album also scores 84/100 on Metacritic, signifying "universal acclaim".
