The Fall

[Philip Rush <philip_rush@ye...fsnet.co.uk>]

Ah,  well, what I meant was that maybe if I could find ten good  
tracks they might serve as some kind of stepping stone to enjoying  
(or tolerating) a bit more...
I am a little puzzled why I find it so bad, The Fall, but I think it  
is probably something to do with the incredibly repetitive and  
relentless riffing.
All the merry vest
