love this genre, this was good but not one of the best of them
My 2nd favourite Fall album out of the 10 or so I've heard. It probably just sounds like an old man rambling which to be fair it is
V good added most to the playlist. Favourite track Couldn't Get Ahead
Un dels discos més accessibles de The Fall. Malgrat això, continua requerint una dosi important de predisposició a l'escolta. Un cop dins, l'aventura val la pena: riffs que se't queden clavats, melodies cruixents, cançons com cap altres; un desafiament amb una bona recompensa
Extremely idiosyncratic and hard to get into, but memorable in a good way.
I like this type of post-punk music, but the album itself is just good, nothing really special.
Punk ochentero.
I feel like this name comes up in lists and recommendations all the time. I can't say I've ever listened to anything by them. I like the twangy surf rock vibes of some of the songs. Nothing is really jumping out at me as must listens, but I enjoyed the listen.
It actually starts off decent with some catchy riffs and punk style songs. The B Side unfortunately takes it over a cliff.
A fun, interesting mix of genres. Kind of a post-punk vibe throughout, but sometimes it goes full Stooges-style punk. Other times we get Rockabilly. A real treat from start to stop.
It was fine, I liked it a little better than PJ Harvey. I didn't find the music special in anyway. I suppose that has been the point, there are genre defining albums. I certainly found other albums from this era superior. meh out of 5
Honestly enjoyed this one. Not my absolute favorite thing, but one of the more enjoyable punk albums for me Favorite track: “Barmy”
Arty punk music made by and for people who think that enjoyable music is too bougie for them
Meh. Not my thing.
I really enjoyed this album, had some bangers
simple, repetitive and monotonous
Eh, it was fine.
Just not very interesting to me.
Punk rock it’s good
Not bad. Not bad at all.
Bon album de punk/rock/grunge anglais, doux et bien monté
I’ve hear The Fall, but never a full album. I like this a lot and needed to hear it, I think! Reminds me of Bad Religion in some ways.
little bit samey with the guitar. god some songs acc sound so off tho ... mmm kinda hot tho
i really liked some of it. some poo
This album was really good! I know that I've listened to it before, but This was definitely the first time unpaid attention, well worth it.
There are some interesting bass parts, but it leaves much to be desired. 7
punk like this always seems so self-indulgent. Like "yeah we're gonna just mess around and you're gonna like it" Punk always feels like they just got drunk the night before and then forgot to write a song. Which to be fair is pretty damn punk BUT it still sounds...last minute. I'm just gonna yell "Spoilt Victorian Child" and it's supposed to mean something besides "Oh no I forgot to write a song"
I've always skirted around The Fall, never truly getting into them or learning about them. Very glad I'm getting the chance to- only a few songs in and I can tell I really like it. It feels like hypnotic, half-obscene punky ramblings. "Spoilt Victorian Child", "LA", were fantastic.
Starts out decent but begins to fall off quite a bit, way too long, bad singing, just not my genre and truly forgettable
The missing link for me for so many bands that I like
IT'S THE FALL INNIT
konstigt som fan och sången är konstigast av allt. men det finns något najs med det, ett gött driv som påminner mig om war on drugs eller vetiver.
First Fall album I've listened to, basslines are brilliant, generous 4 as it meanders a bit but will improve on repeated listens
I like the music
3.5
Punk rock, repetetive guitar-riffs, oprørsk, dystert, hypnostisk
Mark E. Smith sounds like he's on the wrong end of a radio for much of the runtime. A radio somewhere with thick, poisonous air, a shot out of a horror film. The difficulty doesn't come from that, however. It comes from the complexity of the texture. My ear was frustrated at first, and even after latching onto the guitars the rest of the music evaded simple recognition. In an ideal world, I'd prefer more and stickier bass and drum grooves: The guitar lines are too subtle to hook me. The samples (?) and occasional instruments are used deftly, on the other hand, and there is clearly precedent here for Sleaford Mods and Viagra Boys, very different bands which I am more familiar with. L.A. is a highlight, denser than the rest of the tracks and operating as a sonic and geographic escape. There's a horn-like tone on one of the early tracks which truly sounds wrathful. Damo Suzuki annoyed me a little bit. It's a meandering project, not quite as discursive as I prefer. The music feels litanic at times, but there are enough excursions from that space to keep things fresh.
6.5/10 F.t.: I am Damo Suzuki
I liked one song
Neato
closer to 3.5
Love the funky bass. Guitars could have been Johnny Marr. Perfect mix of early madchester-sound and more depressing post-punk. Best: Barmby, Spoilt Victorian Child, Cruisers Creek och My New House.
