THE FALL
An immediate Fall album; cosmetically impressive, even on first spin, it grabs your lapels and itches your feet. Inevitably, as you gently open your ears to its host of subtexts, you'll find the specifics equally as satisfying. Mark's suffering was obviously worth it. Three different producers - Coldcut, Adrian Sherwood and Craig Leon. NME
When Brix divorced Mark E. Smith and left the Fall in 1989, it marked a shift back to the darker, more chaotic (though "boldly dance-oriented") sound of their early albums, as shown on this first post-Brix album from 1990.
