4 out of 5 stars Where PAVEMENT came from.......2005-07-26

They're a cult band because nobody can figure out what they're doing or why. Shambling, sloppy, frustrating by design - why are they so interesting? This collection focuses on the early punky guitar stuff. I like it, but I agree with one of the other reviewers: don't buy this until you've heard some of their music.

5 out of 5 stars Tremendous collection of a real rock innovator.......2002-11-28

...This collection of the Fall's peak period on the Rough Trade label is a tremendous grouping of classic, post-punk songs. The Dutch group, the Ex, is the only band that ever matched the eclecticism, passion, inventiveness, and fury of the Fall. Castle/Sanctuary has done a first-rate job, including a bounty of rare singles and killer album cuts, with few misses ("Slates,Slags, ect." is noticeably absent). This collection is the perfect starting point for anyone interested in the Fall. Given that the Fall has released like a 100 albums, this is a real blessing. In fact, along with "The Early Years" and "458489 - The A Sides," this collection is all that but the most ardent Fall fan really needs. Yeah, the Fall is not for every one, but it is for those individuals who truly love original and challenging music.

1 out of 5 stars just can't do it.......2002-11-24

Ok Ok Ok, I know these guys are SOOOOOOOOO influential and all, but I really just can't feel this compilation. As a wise friend once told me "Being the first to do something makes you incapable of being the best at it." That is made readily apparent here. If you really like what you've heard from the Fall, go ahead and buy this. If you're going off someone's recommendation, think again.

5 out of 5 stars You don't have to be an American to be strange.......2002-10-12

These days there are almost as many Fall compilations as there are genuine Fall CDs - and that's saying something! Many of them are poor quality (often recorded straight from very scratchy vinyl)and have the odd gem interspersed with fillers or poor quality live material. So, for once, it's a pleasure to be able to say: THIS IS A GREAT COLLECTION, FEATURING ONE OF THE MOST ORIGINAL, INNOVATIVE AND PLAIN WEIRD BANDS OF ALL TIME. As the title suggests, the CD draws together the many highpoints from the band's time at Rough Trade Records. That only covers 4 of the band's 25 years (1980-1984), but fortunately those 4 years were packed with creativity, vitriol and wit. From comparative classics like "How I Wrote Elastic Man" through to perhaps less familiar stuff such as "Prole Art Threat" or "Eat y'Self Fitter" these 31 songs bristle with edgy, angular, resolutely non-commercial pop. Sometimes playful, sometimes sinister, sometimes plain noisy, this is music for people who can't help stifling a yawn when they hear The Datsuns or The White Lines. Do you get the feeling I like this group? I do. Shut up and buy!
