it's almost impossible that a band as perfect and audacious as The Fall ever existed. we didn't know how good we had it.

I don't mean that the output was perfect (except sometimes), it was so manic and unpredictable, sometimes bad, but the idea of The Fall was perfect. We took the semi-yearly albums for granted because it was perpertual.

Hello! I make music under the name "Avargyűjtő" (Fallen Leaves Collector) in Budapest, Hungary. In addition to Surfrock and Krautrock, I primarily follow the traditions of contemporary Eastern European and Russian Post-Punk. I don't make money with my music, and I don't plan concerts either. I have money, and i don't want to be famous. For me it's just about the Post-Punk, Krautrock and Surfrock legacy, which I'm trying to authentically carry forward. ...........................................................

Без Смита тоскливо. Даже если бы новые альбомы были хреновые (как нередко было с поздними), с ними было бы веселее и задорнее. Кажется, регулярный новый гнусавый, речитативный, агрессивно-ритмичный (почти любой) альбом The Fall — то, что должно сопровождать реальность, чтобы она чуть меньше скатывалась к хуям собачьим.

Возможно, самая важная группа ещё того пост-панка.На наших полях, хоть и известна (благодаря интернетам) но проще сказать, что ты слушаешь Fall, чем реально слушать Fall.

Damn, O-Mit is such a blast. So powerful, so real. How ruthlessly great MES was, can't even describe that mix of respect and grieving I felt while listening

Does anyone know what happened to FHR on spotify? Are some labels fighting over rights again or they preparing a fucking remaster reissue again?

For early period: Live at the Witch Trials, Perverted by Language, Slates. Mid-period: Shift-work. Later era: The Marshall Suite, The Unutterable. The Rough Trade Singles comp of 50,000 Fall Fans are essential too. Fun going through chronologically and hearing their sound develop. Super rewarding.

There is no wrong answer to this question, just different ones. Hex Enduction Hour, This Nations Saving Grace, The Infotainment Scan, The Real New Fall LP, Imperial Wax Solvent, Your Future, Our Clutter. All awesome in addition to the ones already mentioned. 50,000 Fall fans can't be wrong is essential listening as many greats songs were released as singles so you miss out on great songs if you only listen to the albumd. My favorite Fall album is usually the one I am listening to. The only ones I would skip at first are the recently issued Live albums, many are bootleg quality. Welcome to an entire lifetimes worth of discovery. Even some things that might sound like crap at first can later blow your mind when you understand it.

I feel obliged to explain my last entry concerning Marcel Duchamp and The Fall. What I meant was to call atention to the dadaist tendencies of the band. With all its acid, witty lyrics that may seem to be nothing but gibberish to some and highly erratic and idiosyncratic musical achievements, The Fall seem to incorporate and disseminate Dada into the spectrum of music as a whole. Just as Duchamp did with Art in the beginning of the XX, which was, acts of total destruction towards art as it was then conceived, The Fall manages to do the same: it takes musical elements and dissect it, poke at it, take it out of context, and all and all, destroy it. The goal of The Fall was to kill music as per se, and in the process, they made one of the most unique, bizarre, wretched, engaging, putrid and dada music and art. Innovation through destruction. Don't believe me? Look at their album covers! They're making fun of the music industry, themselves, me and you too!

The design of the albums was more because MES liked the aesthetic of cheap design and local cash-and-carry signs. It's more of an adoption of working-class aesthetics than a parody of them.

Favourite Fall album is Middle Class Revolt. Not sure many will agree with that. What's your favourite?

Late response, but I'd have to go with The Wonderful and Frightening World of The Fall. I'm probably biased by the fact that it was the first Fall album I heard, but I love it more than any other of their albums. Also, I should give MCR another listen. I found it pretty underwhelming on first listen and never gave it a second chance...

More than anything else, this was the comment that spurred me on to give The Fall a listen, so thank you for that.

I think they mean because so many artists have been in The Fall. They are comparing it to the Kevin Bacon rule where no actor is more than six degrees away from him: https://oracleofbacon.org/

I've been listening for less than 180 days and I'm pretty much working through their gigantic discog because literally everything is great (about a quarter is god-tier, half amazing and the rest still good). I started with Live at the Witch Trials but I reckon you should start like this; The Frenz Experiment --> Real new fall LP --> Bend Sinister ––> This Nation's Saving Grace ––> just see whatever you liked the most and go in that vein (check RYM embolden albums). Remember they're one of a kind so don't expect to be like oh yeah this sounds like xyz. Good luck ;)
