I prefer their earlier, more straightforwardly punk material, but this is unique enough for a thumbs up. B-

This album was ok. I can think of some modern post-punk groups that do some of what the Fall is doing slightly better IMO (TV Priest comes to mind), but I can appreciate this album as an early version of that, even if I didn't dig every song.

I liked this ok, but the singer's drawl gets a bit tiring over the listen. I thought it was interesting to hear some like very 80s sounds on some songs, followed by some very 90s sounds on the next. Not bad, but seemed a little derivative by 93. 2.75/5
