Although Cerebral Caustic is a good Brix era album it's not mega accessible to the curious. The title is a hint. Thei are not and never were 'here to please' . My advice would be to try This Nations Saving Grace and maybe even A Sides 8489 . Before the Brix Smith (the shift from alt poetry/post ounk to a more commercial tilt era ) go for Hex Induction Hour or Dragnet . Forgive a little obviously punky influence. They did start in that era amidst the Pistols Manchester kick up the arse . The group is as much about new wave poetry as it is about sing alongs . For later years I'd try Fall Heads Roll and the mighty Your Future Our Clutter . The Fall demand a bit of work and an open mind. Even Smith said its not easy music. Think 'Beefheart' for instance. But if they click with you then you're doomed and no other music will come close ever again. Don't rush it ! Persevere and dont expect instant gratification . You might find that the song you immediately dismiss come back to be your favourites. It's a lot deeper than the first listen suggests. 😁👍

Will do thanks, much appreciated. Happy to persevere a bit, to be fair it’s what I did with my jazz some time ago. I just felt there was something there to like and one day it just clicked and now I can’t get enough of it.
According to my wife Jazz makes her angry and Dylan can’t sing. I’ve told her she’s a heathen but I reckon if I get into The Fall as well she’ll go into a tailspin.....

She might not leap straight into Mark E Smith's warbling then. But my missus loves erm haha. If you're having Any success start right from the start and do the albums chronologically. But listen to each until it's on your system. There's a lot of them so you'll not run out anytime soon. Them I'll start recommending some biographies . It makes the Fall even more enjoyable ! 😁 You could give this a watch . It might give an idea of what you're getting into ! .
