thats what i did and if you look at my last fm, you will see it was effective.

I'm going through their Peel Sessions 1978-2004 right now, and it's quite good.

Opinions on the new album?

I'll let you know Monday.

I refuse to do downloaded leaks when it comes to this band.

I enjoyed it. I grabbed a leaked copy back in early March and was listening to it on the way to school. I may go back and find a legal copy because I wasn't sure about the sound quality in some of the songs. That may have been the leaked version, or the band... you never know with The Fall. I think "Mexico Wax Solvent" is my favorite song off the album, but I need to give it another few listens to let it all sink in.

That definitely sounds like Mark E Smith's "production"

I've said it before but, what the hell, I'll say it again - the new album's excellent, and my favourite of theirs since Fall Heads Roll. I love the sound of the bass throughout. Definitely gonna pick up the hard copy when it's on the shelves too, just out of loyalty to the Fall more than anything else.

Yes I think that's where I'm at too, however knowing this town I'll probably have to order it online if I want a physical copy... but after listening to it again today in the car I definitely think I got an inferior version in terms of sound quality. I definitely agree with you about the bass throughout the album.

Our Future Your Clutter seems decent, could potentially become a favourite. Weather Report is ace.

I've still not heard it.

Been listening to Bend Sinister a lot recently, as well as the Slates/A Part of America Therein release. Some of the live trakcs on A Part of America Therein are fantastic, a great version of Hip Priest and The NWRA...
