iTunes Review
One of the longest-running post-punk bands around (1977 to the present), the one mainstay in this Manchester-based act remains benzedrine-addled wordsmith Mark E. Smith, whose strange, shouted "white rapper" vocal delivery is the core of the band. On 1985's Saving Grace, the band continued in a more commercial direction, aided and abetted by Smith's Bennington-grad wife, the vocalist and keyboardist Brix E. Smith. Though sonically almost too pristine in spots, the album's remarkably varied. There's everything from outright dirges ("Bombast") to arty, detuned pop ("Barmy," "Gut of the Quantifier"), as well as psychobilly stompers ("Rollin' Danny"), almost radio ready alt-rock ("Spoilt Victorian Child"), atmospheric experiments (" "Paint Work"), and a quaint tribute to the greatest Krautrock singer ever ("I Am Damo Suzuki").
Customer Reviews
the best Fall record
I know, that's a controversial claim, but from start to finish (at least in the original, pre-iTunes sequence) this album is flawless. Features a classic Fall line-up at the peak of their powers.
Must Have Fall Album
Great album.... dare I say concept album. Cruisers Creek is a excellent song....brings me back to my youth!!!
WONDERFUL
A great album. My favorite songs are: Pretty much all the songs. Buy: Vixen, Paint Work, Gut of the Quantifier, Cruisers Creek, Barmy, Mansion, and What You Need. ( if you like Mansion, you'll love To NK Roachment: Yarbles )
