Favorite Fall Album?
 

What does everyone consider here their favorite fall album? They have soo many its hard to choose. I like Fall-Grotesque best, I could never fully get into Hex Enduction Hour.I want to pick up some more of their albums though and wanted to see what fans like the most.

This Nation's Saving Grace

The Unutterable

Unless you count the Peel Sessions Boxset as an album, in which case it rises like a Leviathan and tears all competition, Fall and non-Fall, asunder.

I've not heard any fall albums, but their first 4 or 5 7"s are unbeatable!

Hex Enduction Hour.

Perverted By Language is close behind though.

Hex Enduction Hour

Perverted By Language

Slanted and Enchanted

This Nation's Saving Grace has the majority of songs on a Fall album that i like. I don't think there is a single album of theirs in its entirety that i find perfect, but i love tons of songs scattered on a lot of them.

grotesque

and slates, but it's not a full length lp.

!!!!!!!!

anyway, hex is their.. uh.. classical album. so, obviously that. points to i am kurious oranje though.

Perverted by Language

Hex Enduction Hour

A two-way tie for me between "Dragnet" and "Hex Enduction Hour".

I like that the person I assume to be the longest-standing Fall fan extant on this board (no ageism on my part, it's a good thing) picks one of the more recent albums, whereas the young 'uns go for the older albums.

For myself it's a toss up between Levitate and Perverted by Language, although plenty of their albums are also incredibly good (I should perhaps include Extricate and Country on the Click in my toss-up).

If you go to the best Fall board--where it seems the average age of the regular posters is easily 10 years the senior of this board--you find nearly unanimous support for older albums of work from 1977-1984. "I Am Kurious Oranj" is the consensus pick among us as the first real let-down album.

I pick "Grotesque" as fave, too, but also suggest that the Peel Session box and the "Psychick Dance Hall" 3xCD are the best collections, with "Palace of Swords Reversed" also rating high.

yeah the peel sessions is the most essential, there will definitely be something you will like on it.
