You can choose to be politically committed. You can choose to be nihilistic. You can choose to be stiff. Or you can choose to bring a pretty unhealthy vision and atonal flavours into the British post-punk scene. In spite of this arty tinkering (hence the art punk accolades I guess) and true-false nonsense, a real unity is created throughout the album. Can't really tell you why, but even though they try to throw you off balance, the whole lot is cohesive and always feels logical.

Ok, this is The Fall, so next to nearly any other album this looks relatively great--but next to the other "classic" Fall albums, I don't really get the hype. In the others, MES's quirky anti-romanticism is a nice topping, but here it's the main ingredient, which isn't very compelling. On top of that The NWRA is a snoozer.
