He always seems to bounce back from a bad period/album with something quite good (and that is not damning with faint praise, it is more a reflection of previous high standards). However I am a lifelong Fall fan so I always will buy and listen to a new Fall lp. In retrospect, listening back now, Middle Class Revolt was a significant step down from Infotainment Scan so the signs were there. Sadly it was a tipping point and from them on in things have been patchy. It was the first time I had bought a Fall lp where I struggled to find much to enjoy. I thought that too until Cerebral Caustic. He/they are very rarely close to the brilliance of the Fall '77 to '94 but there is a lot of more than decent music across all these albums which no doubt we will cover when we assess each one. MES hates it too, apparently) and it looks like it's all over, but 'Re-Mit', The Remainderer 10" and 'Sub Lingual Tablet' see them back on track. Then we get the dismal 'Ersatz GB' ( makes Cerebral Caustic sound like Hex Enduction Hour it is so dire. It all blew up with that band as it will from the history of the Fall but he regrouped with new folk and after the decidedly patchy 'Reformation TLC', we got a couple of very decent albums in 'Imperial Wax Solvent' and 'Your Future, My Clutter' (as well as the excellent Von Sudenfeld album). 'And You Are Missing Winner 'was as shoddy as you will get but again he pulled it back with the brilliant 'RNFLP' and its fine follow up, 'Fall Heads Roll', a really strong period and close (but not that close) to the greatness of the Hanley/Scanlon era. I thought LUS was a lot better than 'Cerebral Caustic', though still patchy didn't much like Levitate at all thought the game was up when Hanley left but he came back with 'The Marshall Suite' and 'The Unutterable' (both pretty decent albums especially the later which is very good). True the great run ended with 'Infotainment Scan', but there have been some very good albums since.
Michael Jackson.Ĭlick to expand.I thought that too until Cerebral Caustic. There is a photo from June 2013 where MES bears an uncanny resemblance to.errrr.
I even walked out of the corresponding Berlin gig. Sure, "The Unutterable", "Real New Fall LP", "Fall Heads Roll" and "Sub-Lingual Tablet" all are getting four stars but the one album from that run that I actually have been listening to ("Fall Heads Roll") didn't strike me as especially essential. The 35 album review suggests I didn't miss much when I finally jumped ship after 1997's "Levitate". And I've been foking beat up a long time, it's just nothing to me." I know people are lonely, and I know people ignore you, and I've had that a lot - rejection. I've never understood boredom, and I don't understand loneliness.
" Depression - it's not in my dictionary. But I don't think we've attained the summit yet." " I think Dragnet' s good, I think it reached its peak at This Nation's Saving Grace and it sort of went on 'til Infotainment, and it comes back, I dunno, with Imperial Wax, Fall Heads Roll, maybe. Just read the MOJO article, MES comes across as complex character.
