I just think it's hilarious that I have to tell you when your favorite band puts out a new record.

As with a ton of 80's bands I don't intensely follow their modern incarnations

Everybody is old

New album is okay but it sounds like everything the band he put together in 07 has done so far, weaker versions of Fall albums that already exist with vocals that are complete mush at this point.

Actually no, "Our Future Your Clutter" was a really fantastic album, way better than it had any right to be, and it was released in 2010

I just don't keep up with modern releases well enough

The albums surrounding it are not very good. Like a previous decade of so-so.

Pretty much it was time to call it over.

But then that album is fantastic

But I do believe The Fall like the majority of Rock bands had their overall best material in their first 10 years when they were in a position of really having to prove themselves

The young and hungry effect

is there a wire vs the fall thing going on in here? i may have to read thru and catch up. post-punk arguments on netphoria are always amusing

You can only listen to one post-punk band that's the rule

Despite there being like a thousand amazing ones

It's a weird comparison because The Fall do so much more than like Wire, Joy Division, GoF etc. who all do one thing really really well
