4.0 out of 5 stars yet another great Fall album, 16 Dec 2002
I know, it's absurd isn't it? When most bands aren't able to write one decent album, Mark E Smith and whoever's being The Fall this week manage to produce works of essential genius without even trying. The second opening track The Birmingham School of Business School's warped strobelight-intensity geetar kicks in, you know you're in for a treat. Free Range has the electro-loop that fans will recognise from Das Katerer and others, Everything Hurtz has been controlling my mind for months now and the closing mumbled word piece, Crew Filth, is funny and appears to show MES and the gang (and it does feel like a gang here) in downtime, and features a Game Boy solo. You can never have enough Fall, and your collection certainly isn't complete without this.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent album, sadly overlooked, 15 Feb 2006
By Mr. Rgs Draycott "whiskydrinker" (penzance) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This album is almost never mentioned among the Fall's essential works, but it certainly should be. I'm no Fall apologist either - I'll fully admit that they put out some real stinkers in the mid-90s. That said, this album can easily stand next to "Hex Enduction Hour" and "This Nation's Saving Grace". It's not nearly as ferocious as either of those, but the awkward techno experiments that marred so many of their albums from around this time are kept to a minimum and the songs are universally strong. "Free Range" is the single that most Fall fans have already heard, but "Return", "Birmingham School..." and "Just Waiting" are also excellent tracks. Definitely pick this one up.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting but average, 20 Feb 2004
By Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
Code: Selfish is one of The Fall’s more obscure albums from the early 1990s. The first track, Birmingham School Of Business, has a complex structure with churning guitar patterns; Free Range has a faster driving beat, while Return is a hypnotic number with interesting synth and guitar interplay. Time Enough At Last is closer to traditional rock, as is Everything Hurtz with its urgent beat and almost punk feel. Immortality has a chugging beat and Just Waiting has some delicious jangling guitar parts. Gentleman’s Agreement is a gentle rock ballad, and Married, 2 Kids is a type of mid-tempo story song with jazzy touches. The problem is the lack of really gripping songs. None of them remains in the mind after repeated listens. Shift-Work is the only other Fall album that I’m familiar with, and I like it more than Code: Selfish which is not a brilliant album but does offer enough of this band’s inimitable genius to please the fans and satisfy those who love idiosyncratic rock.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Fall albums around
This is a fantastic Fall record and one that captures the early 90's line up at their best. Ok, so its probably on the over-produced side for a Fall album but if you can't... Read more

This 1992 album marks the beginning of a particularly dark period of The Fall in the early 1990s. Having lost all sense of direction after the departure of Brix Smith and Martin... Read more
