I mean, how does The Fall do it? We are talking 1976 to present and still coming out with great new music. Although I am sure not all the music they have put out over the years is top shelf, this new disc, Your Future, Our Clutter make you wonder how they are still coming out with new, moving, relevant tunes. My familiarity with the band comes mainly from the 50,000 Fans compilation, so I have listened to every album my any means. I feel that Your Future definitely comes in as one of their best, but even kills bands half their age with energy, experimentation, and execution. They have even outlived the bands they have inspired in their wake (i.e. Pavement (but now reformed!), The Birthday Party, etc). Some day soon, I'll sit down with Mark E. Smith to go through their 27 other albums and 27 plus different versions of the band. Until then, thanks for continuing to be The Fall!
