Advantages: Smith, the band, the songs, oh, everything Disadvantages: Too long since the last one
...This is one of the mysteries of the universe - why are The Fall not one of the most popular bands on this planet - I love them and they make wonderful music. The Unutterable is the LOOOOOOONG awaited new CD, it's been almost a couple of years since their last offering and is now finally sprung on an unsuspecting world.
Even as a confessed Fall addict, I have to say that this is a fine piece of work, far better than we've any right to expect from a band that have been going nearly 25 years (without selling out once, incredible!)
The CD is a delight, classic Fall stuff from start to finish with some mega stuff on there - totally gripping and fresh - it could be the work of a new band just starting out, such is the enthusiasm. The new line up which was fairst aired on The Marshall Suite certainly kicks and Mr Smith is in fine voice....

Advantages: Catches the youthful sound of Mark E Smith Disadvantages: The Drums sound to mechanical in places
...This was the first Fall album I ever bought and I now have all of them. The Fall frontman Mark E Smith has always been a lyrical genius and the likes of 'No Xmas for John Quays" prove this here, 'The X is Xmas is a substitute crucifix for christ' is spit out with impressive venom. With repetition a permanent fixture in The Fall's music down the years the last track 'Music Scene' is excellent. It made me laugh the first time I heard this as they leave in all kinds of vocal cues that most bands would mix out. That is the beauty of this band, no sell out. 'We are The Fall the Northern White C*** that talks back' another sneering Mancunian lyric which should be enough to make you buy this CD alone....
