Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Fall's twenty-ninth studio album continues Mark E. Smith's remarkably consistent streak of abrasive, cryptic post-punk. Driven by jagged, repetitive guitar lines and surreal electronics, the record is a raw and sarcastic commentary on modern British culture and societal decay.
