Who can’t love the HUGE tip of the hat by MES on the first song, ‘Over! Over!’ to The United States Of America’s classic, ‘Coming Down’? Not me!
“After another band implosion, this time on the 2006 American tour that found the musicians that had solidly performed on the last two studio discs "Country on the Click/ The Real New Fall Album" and "Fall Heads Roll" abandon leader Mark E. Smith and his wife keyboardist Elena Poulou in the Arizona desert, the re-formed (one estimate for the 45th time) group gives this their 26th or 27th studio recording a stripped down, brittle, and suitably lean sound akin more to their lesser-heard mid-90s efforts.
That is, lots of straightforward (relatively speaking if you know the Fall) guitar and keys and drums arrangements in staccato, chugging, playful, or lurching styles. MES out in front from the first lines of song one ranting again at past members' perfidity. MES picking up with a half-dozen or so decent songs that admittedly cut some of the last two studio disc's flourishes and sonic assaults for a less dramatic, more workmanlike, disciplined, and perhaps more modest approach to the music. It draws less attention to itself here.” - John L. Murphy
