5.0 classicBsloth | June 20th 12

How is there no review for this? Absolutely great album.

5.0 classicJurieu | July 15th 11

For me, The Fall's most cohesive and consistent offering. A perfect middle ground between the avant-garde leanings of their earlier output (Damo Suzuki) and the psuedo-mainstream sound of what was to come (L.A.). Contains their most beautiful song (Paintwork) to boot.

Brix bringing down The Fall.Dont believe the hype.Buy "Perverted By Language" and work your way backwards.(Yeah,i know she was on that album but she wasn't involved in the songwriting tf)
