Only thing that disappointed was the first time I heard Repetition -- I thought for sure it was going to be a cover of the Fall song. since it seemed pretty obvious that one of their biggest influences. Oh don't get me wrong, their song called that is awsome too, but I kinda wanted a cover!

They always knew how to add in just the right notes.. I can't explain it... the most perfect guitar playing I can think of. Just a brilliant band. I'm totally rocking them as we speak.

For those who don't know what we're talking about ,download this whole fucking folder:

They werent the most perfect guitar playing you can think of. or that i can think of, they remind me of where and when i grew up, which is why im still into them.

I only heard of The Fall after being a fan of Ikara Colt, and i think theres alot of difference in their sound, even if The Fall are consistently better

I think it's perfect, in its imperfection. What a killer tone too.

To me, it seems very much like early-Fall "Stepping Out"/"Bingo Master's Breakout"-type stuff, updated for the 00's. That was my impression right after Chat and Business came out and it's still what I think... but they had a sound all their own too.

It's a shame, no modern addictive little rock bands in my ear canal anymore.

I had the pleasure of seeing them 4 or 5 times, including the time at Reading Festival when there was a persistant stage invasion, and they were banned from playing the Leeds leg the next day.
I walked back to my tent talking to people whod queued to see the Foo Fighters... that was a litmus moment for me i think.
