Anyday. I much prefer The Fall now than in those days. -------------------- keep shtum, plaguarism infects the land

Shiftwork and MCR are pants, though and no mistake!�

�

Those are two of my favourite albums! The 90's were a great time for The Fall I reckon, IMHO.

MCR has four cover versions, three of which are poor. It also has a conversation about Man City between Craig Scanlon and Peely. Otherwise, it's fine.

Shiftwork is just bland throughout.

What's the 4th cover? I know there's War (ace), Junk Man (ace) and Shut Up (meh, even I skip that one occasionally!). Unless you're referring to 15 Ways?

Yes, I referred to 15 Ways, not strictly a cover I know, a remake perhaps?

Anyway, War is terrific, but I'm not keen on the other two. I was a little harsh earlier, a lot of MCR is great, but I wish it had ended up as it's relative Peel session, which seemed much better performed and produced.

MCR is a bit like Reformation ptlc I think. Great, great great, punchy tunes, brilliant live (Up to Much, Hey! Student and M5 spring to mind). Studio a bit duff. Still both great LP's.
