Tremulant EP .. De-loused in the Comatorium .... Frances the Mute... & Amputechture are all beautiful releases. I enjoy them all.
The general disdain for them, I find amusing , but I'm indifferent; its subjective, hate what you will. However, the listed albums aren't trivial rock music or pseudo prog-rock or any other pretentious description you could stamp upon it. They're creative releases whether or not you accept it, its just not an obscure thing to reference, or what have you.... the sound doesn't initially scream innovative for some reason, well I wonder who has been listening..... because it generally is. Though you may definitely say what you will about the Bedlam in Goliath, the new percussion doesn't fit so much, as well is its general tone ruins its overall potential....
The Fall are one of my favorite bands; avid fans should get the hint.
Diversity is nice, as is individuality, real individuality.... but I know the arguement against TMV and those who've developed valid opinions based on listening experience are entitled to despising their existence and encouraged.
