The Fall are so influential and prolific they seem more like a genre than a band. They have inspired incredible amounts of reverence since the late 70s. There’s all kinds of stuff in their huge discography but their go to signature move is a repetitive hook with a melodic baseline. All the best bands from the mid 80s to 2000 have a fair amount of Fall DNA. This is one record that’s heralded but it’s really the entire phenomenon that I find so amazing. I’m not trying to explain The Fall to those of you who are already fans. I’m just trying to put some perspective on this for anyone who might not know.
