Album Notes & Community Reviews

Refusing to yield to label pressures for a commercial hit, The Sound delivered their most abrasive, deeply uncompromising album with 'All Fall Down'. Adrian Borland鈥檚 fiercely passionate, agonizingly introspective vocals cut through an incredibly dark, heavily atmospheric post-punk landscape, resulting in a profoundly depressive, lonely masterpiece.
