“The Real New Fall LP (Formerly Country on the Click) is the 23rd studio album by The Fall. Originally recorded at Lisa Stansfield’s Gracieland Studios in between December 2002 and January 2003 with producer Grant Showbiz.
The subtitle is explained by the fact that the tracks were originally scheduled for release in April 2003 under the title ‘Country on the Click’. Promotional copies were sent out and three of the new songs were previewed in the band’s 23rd Peel Session, but Mark. E Smith was unhappy with the mix and decided it needed further work.
Alex Linhardt of Pitchfork called it “as valuable an album as anything The Fall ever released in the 1990s” and stated that “Smith’s lyrics are at a near career-best of insolence and nonsense.” AllMusic’s David Jeffries wrote that the album “gives the faithful another reason to believe”. Helen Pidd, reviewing the album for The Guardian, viewed Smith as being “on magnificently mad form”. Uncut called it “Great by Smith’s standards. Practically genius by everybody else’s.” Spin praised it as “an atavistic orgy of recycled riffs and lifelong obsessions”. MOJO reviewed it as “as good as anything in this group’s monstrous catalogue”. Pop Matters called it “their best record in a decade”.”
This 5CD version contains the original album, the rejected ‘Country On The Click’ as well as Interim, a disc of B-sides & Peel Sessions and a live show from The Knitting Factory, 9 April 2004.”
