Análisis (en inglés) - :
{$The Fall}'s first post-{$Craig Scanlon} album also introduced {$Julia Nagle}, who took over keyboards from the departing {$Dave Bush} and also contributed some guitar. {$Brix Smith} and {$Karl Burns} covered the rest of the guitar, and while {$Scanlon} is missed, the end results work well enough. The crisp live edge to the recording is attractive, but oddly enough leaves a lot of space in the mix -- {$Mark E. Smith} and {$Nagle}'s keyboards have pride of place along with {$Steven Hanley}'s bass guitar (give an ear to {&"Das Vulture Ans Ein Nutter-Wain"} for an example). {$Smith} himself seems to be searching for lyrics more than once, and while he comes up with a usual collection of acid-tongued zingers, other times he seems to be making vocal noise for the sake of it -- nothing wrong with that, but still, one expects more. Though the album takes a little while to get started, when it does, the winners start coming in droves, such as the attractive {$Smith}/{$Brix} duet {&"Spinetrap"} and the nervy, brisk bite of {&"Oleano,"} which sounds like an endless alarm bringing out the paranoia. There's some fiery aggression flaring up more than once as well, as {&"He Pep!"} and especially the lengthy, roaring clatter and blast of {&"Interlude/Chilinism"} in particular show. The addition of another pretty/sharp exchange between {$Brix} and {$Smith} makes the latter all the more entertaining. In terms of unexpected covers, {$the Fall} do have another winner -- {$Johnny Paycheck}'s {&"Stay Away (Old White Train),"} sung by {$Smith} with an appropriate if terribly amusing drawl. Speaking of singing -- more than once co-producer {$Mike Bennett} shares the vocals with {$Smith}, a surprising change to say the least! The odd geographical confusion track {&"Cheethan Hill"} shows how well that can actually work, with {$Bennett} taking a clearer lead while {$Smith}, unsurprisingly, does the "sing from one room over" approach. ~ Ned Raggett, All Music Guide
