The weirdest thing about Mall is that although the group tries to put out a better effort then the atrocious Hard, it still sounds both under standards and completely different then what we are accustomed too. For one the synth throughout the album makes it sound like a lite-industrial affair, but it really isn't because they aren't nearly hard-hitting as other acts at the time...so whats up with this album? Well, Gang of Four reform to put out a pretty average record that shows flashes of their visceral brilliance, but most of it is untapped potential that is left out to rot in the middle of nowhere.
