  1. The Fall are the best new band in Britain.
  2. Tender and loving it might not be, but one of the albums of the year? Definitely.
  3. But for all the defiance, something is audibly wrong with much of Reformation Post TLC.

    Another solid album from The Fall. Great to see them getting some recognition after almost 30 albums over the years. Perhaps the bass line intro used in the Nissan (?) car commercial has reviatlized their career or at least given them some mainstream exposure. If you are familiar with The Fall, you should find this latest release very rewarding and worth multiple listenings. Enjoy! Expand

    As a diehard Fall fan, I can't help but be disappointed by this. At least Fall Heads Roll had Blindness
