MojoNov 21, 2014Stragglers carp it's not as good as 1985, fans thrill to the fractal energies. [Dec 2014, p.102]
-
Classic Rock MagazineDec 16, 2014The Fall, in the same old, and very different hands, remain freshly formidable. [Dec 2014, p.99]

Nov 21, 2014This is The Fall, live, in a variety of undisclosed European locations (who knows where? Only MES, probably, if even him), one of this land’s (which land’s?) greatest ever groups, still hurtling forward, still thrillingly, still bafflingly, with their full-bore wonky-wheeled tenebrous, anomalous, glorious grooves-aah.

Nov 21, 2014Fantastically frantic and multilayered, Uurop VIII-XII Places in Sun & Winter, Son appropriately captures a live Fall experience in 2014, and reiterates just how durable the current line up is.

MagnetDec 10, 2014If you're not already a fan, this won't convert you. But if its obtuse kraut-rockabilly's your particular addiction, this will be pure manna, pilgrim-uh. [No. 116, p.57]

Nov 21, 2014It’s got the feel of a bootleg--the recording is at times horribly thin, and the occasional snatches of audience chatter make it sound like the work of someone staggering drunkenly through the crowd with a barely concealed mic.
-
The WireDec 16, 2014Much of the album's faults are down to Smith. Rather than steering the collective ship, his voice, slurred to the point of incomprehensibility, barely connects with the others. [Dec 2014, p.48]
