Album Notes & Community Reviews
Recorded in just two days, The Fall's remarkably abrasive debut album perfectly captures their highly repetitive, working-class post-punk venom. 'Live at the Witch Trials' is an incredibly energetic, fiercely rebellious platform for Mark E. Smith's deeply sarcastic, abstract punk poetry, standing as a brilliant, highly satirical rejection of conventional musicianship.
