There's so much energy and ideas swirling around here. And all under 30 minutes. Right from the start The Fall didn't give a fuck. It must have sounded like nothing else in 1979. It still pretty much the case. A glorious mess. Mark was a one.
Not their best, but still The Fall. A little over-produced (or under-). Would have been great to hear these tracks produced to sound like Dragnet or the early singles. But there are some great songs here (notably Music Scene, Rebellious Jukebox and Underground Medicin) and the straightahead 60s garage band approach – complete with cheap keyboard sound – already sets them apart from a lot of the other 'punk' bands of the time. An intriguing hint at what was to come.
