Customer Reviews

Only as good as "Middle Class Revolt"
This is one of those disappointing Fall albums that hits the spot during the high points, but singularly misses it for large parts of the album. I cannot bear either version of "White Line Fever" (/ "Insult Song"), and have never played either tack in their entirety - firm finger on the "skip" button.

"Das Boot" is kind of classy, but more in the vein of "mood music" than boppin' Fall stuff. Not the best, and not typical (if there is such material).

The overall sound of these musicians are deep and grungy, upbeat mostly, and not bad - it's just that Mark E obviously had a few off days when recording this, and the musicians he picked weren't quite inventive and talented enough (or were too intimidated) to carry Mr Smith.

If you have most of the Fall already, then buy this one - if you don't, go for the much better "Real New Fall" or "Fall Heads Roll" (or even "Interim") from their recent releases. Or a compilation / one of their earlier releases.

For me, it means I will wait for a couple of years before getting the next couple of releases cheap - and not risk my hard-earned pennies on a boopler like this one (and "MCR").

Same old Fall
As always- another year, another reliably good Fall record. On a par with Fall Heads Roll. Saw them play the final gig at Hammersmith Palais earlier this year (before it was demolished to make way for flats); great live band,- especially Dave Spurr on bass. A multi-layered record which demands repeat listens before it exposes its quality, fully.Excellent.

Right up there
This is quality ,dont let anyone tell you different.From the opener"Over!,Over!",untill the outro this delivers the goods,i cannnot wait to see the new Fall lineup live.I saw them last year at the Opera House in Bournemouth it was the BEST gig i have been to for ages.Fall Heads Roll was a great record ,but "Reformation" is better .This is the record MES was born to make, bass driven mosh~pit excellence .I would have liked to see members of the last line~up on this record,but this is The Fall ,ever changing,always brilliant & the new line~up is even better how does he do it? This record will be in my player for the next month at least ,it is a very important & quality product.I am listening to it now through headphones & i can honestly say it is the best album i have heard all year
