Reviews Customer Reviews for Fall Heads Roll      Louden Up      Rating:      Been trying to think recently of albums or songs I like to play at the very highest registers. Right out of the box I'd have to say The Annoying Song on Independent Worm Saloon although nearly everything on that monster album by the Surfers gets the job done. This list is I realise potentially endless. One time I actually owned two copies of The Velvet Underground's Another View, the one with two versions of Hey Mr. Rain on it, and I used to blast both of these songs out at the same time on two different Toshibas I had rigged up--bliss on several levels that was. Ever hear the stunning quarter hour version of Hey Mr. Rain on the Velvet's 1993 Live MCMXCIII? Boggle up your eardrums entirely that one will. Yo La Tengo's ten minute Spec Bebop now that I think of it does something similar, as do the absurdly sublime electric bagpipes Bon Scott himself plays on AC/DC's It's A Long Way To The Top. Rory Gallagher's Irish Tour is a bleeding barnstorm too when turned way up--his band is unbelievably solid and that dude on keyboards, Lou Martin, boy is he a stupendously funky piece of work. Still though the record is all about Rory's live guitar and when you've got your gear ramped up to eleven the Stratocaster sounds like it's coming straight out of Heaven. And then finally there's this album by The Fall--to characterise it as colossal plugged-in chunks of amplitude is to understate matters considerably. The first song, Ride Away, is a percussive and wonky toe tapper and then from Pacifying Joint on down you're in Smiffy and the boys' boom boom room. Can you honestly believe how farking good Blindness sounds? And what about What About Us? Even the acoustic Early Days of Channel Fuhrer benefits enormously from a leg up in the audio knob department. Volume rocks to my way of thinking.     Customer Reviews for Fall Heads Roll Cd      Yes, They Do!      Rating:      A totally kickass, hard-rockin', hard-drivin' album, showing that Smith & CO. can still flatten idols at this late date. Mark's more acerbic than ever, which always helps. And the band strips paint--this is the hard stuff. It doesn't lack light and shade, however, with moods changing throughout. You never know what Mark will come up with next, and he'll always confound you. Sharp recording, sharp performances.
