The Fall
Fall Heads Roll
A Norman Records recommendation (27th November 2006)

This record left our Clint feeling ecstatic.
Hurrah a new Fall album. Apparently Mark E Smith is going to be reading out the football scores on BBC1's Final Score sometime in November. I am not joking - surely an event not to be missed. "Their finest album yet" it says on the front. That's quite a claim. Straight away the minute it starts up it sounds like nothing else ever. That's the great thing about The Fall you just don't know what you are going to get. The production is thankfully much more chunky this time round with lots of squelchy synths and noisy guitars topped as ever by Mark E Smith's trademark growl. At times his delivery is just downright bizzare and on 'Midnight in Aspen' he drawls over a quite beautiful pastoral guitar piece. Pity though that "Blindness" has been re-recorded from the Narnack sampler version which was downright stunning. On first listen then a valiant effort. CD and limited vinyl on Slogan.
