I've probably mentioned before, but Levitate is one of my favourite Fall albums. It was the first one I bought, and over 10 years later it still confuses me quite a lot. Rarely gets mentioned, utter fucking wreck of an album in an entirely perfect way. I sometime rant about it being 'the absolute peak of garage rock' when I'm pissed. I wouldn't include Bend Sinister in my favourite records of theirs, but WAFWO is pretty awesome. Extricate's overlooked as well, to my mind.
Personally, I can see that there's a bit more consistency in the early-to-mid-80s Fall, but there are plenty albums since 1990 or so that are easily the measure of the early ones. Then again, I really like Are you are missing winner, which it seems absolutely no-one likes.
I'm ordering the new record now-ish.
