Our Take

The Fall's latest offering, "Medicine For The Masses," is like a slap in the face from a bowl of lukewarm soup - confusing, unexpected, yet strangely satisfying. Released as part of Record Store Day 2019, this reissue from Rough Trade showcases the band at their rawest and most primal form.

Mark E. Smith's signature snarl is front and centre in tracks like "Gut of the Quantifier" and "Living Too Late," cutting through the cacophony of guitars and drums like a butter knife through a tub of margarine. The lyrics are as cryptic as ever, with Smith's trademark heavy-handedness on full display.

But don't be fooled by the seemingly chaotic nature of The Fall's sound - there is a method to the madness. Each jarring chord change and off-kilter rhythm serves a purpose, painting a vivid picture of a world gone mad.

"Medicine For The Masses" may not be the easiest listen, but for those willing to brave the storm, there are hidden gems to be discovered. From the infectious energy of "Telephone Thing" to the haunting beauty of "Chicago, Now!", this album is a rollercoaster ride of emotion and intrigue.

In a music industry overrun with cookie-cutter pop stars and manufactured sound, The Fall remains a shining beacon of individuality and artistic integrity. "Medicine For The Masses" is a testament to that ethos, a reminder that sometimes the best medicine is a healthy dose of chaos.
