The Fall - The Marshall Suite
Review by Ирина
The Marshall Suite, the 10th studio album by English rock band The Fall, was released in 1999 to critical acclaim. The album features a unique blend of post-punk, electronic and experimental sounds that showcase the band's versatility and creativity.
The opening track, "Touch Sensitive," sets the tone for the album with its driving rhythms and Mark E. Smith's distinctive vocals. Other standout tracks include the catchy "F-Oldin' Money" and the eerie "Crying Marshall."
The Marshall Suite also features collaborations with other artists, including electronic musician Mouse on Mars on the track "Birthday Song" and British singer-songwriter Edwyn Collins on "Antidotes."

Summary by Ирина
Comments
Released in 1999, The Marshall Suite is one of the top twenty Fall albums. The loud and manic, "Touch Sensitive" starts the album and it is a catchy, straightforward, and wonderfully melodic tune. It also features a brilliant vocal and one of my favorite lines: 'They say "What about the meek?" I say they've got a bloody cheek!" An edited (29 seconds in fact) version of the aforementioned song was later used in a UK automobile advertisement for Vauxhall Corsa. Next up, a fun but seriously demented rockabilly cover of Tommy Blake's obscure "F-'Oldin' Money." "Shake-Off" is noisy and immediate with crashing drums and a great Smith rant about "crackpot viewpoint(s)", "micro-plastering" and "that spot in the Simple Minds reform." "This Perfect Day" is a dark and edgy cover of The Saints song. I love the loud, violent, thrashing rock that is "(Jung Nev's) Antidotes." Noisy, and unexpectedly heavy but totally brilliant. "The Crying Marshal" has to be played at a very high volume, preferably on a system that goes up to a Spinal Tap 11 to be fully appreciated. It's complex, frenzied, propulsive, and strange with a thumping drum beat. Some will say The Marshall Suite is overrated while others will assure you it is most certainly underrated. Personally, I think it is one of the band's better records and a great addition to the mighty Fall canon.
