I'd be madder than Mr Mad from Madtown if I was to stoop over my stereo with a dour expression on my face waiting for Mr Mark E Smith to say or do anything to make me grumble.
This is pure vintage Fall. That is the sum of it. If you like The Fall then you'll like this one, in the same way you liked the last one.
When I play my collection of Fall CDs I shall place this amongst my favourites, though.

His voice always seems to fit in with the music. It's uncanny.
