Album Review
“Paranoid stories of being stalked and creating new regimes”For a long time now I have asked myself: why are the vast majority of Fall records so good? What are the elements that make them stand out from the output of almost every other band that existed since rock ‘n’ roll started? Of course there are many reasons; Mark E Smith’s inventive, rhythmic and utterly commanding use of language; the compelling repetition of drums and bass; the spiky and at times weirdly detuned guitar riffs; and the overall uncompromising expression of who they are and where they come from. Their second LP Dragnet, released in 1978, of course has all of these elements, but for me also has something more, which I’m going to attempt to understand more through writing this article.
