Arguably their best

"In its own way, PERVERTED BY LANGUAGE is a transitional album. It is the first album to feature Brix on guitar, and it moves back towards more poppier material that would reach fruition with the next two albums. However, it plays like the Fall's quintessential album. Though Brix's influence is felt (she sings lead on "Hotel Bloedel"), it is more subtle here than on later albums, and so those Fall fans who don't care for her period in the band will not be alienated. In fact, much of this material is far from peppy, aside from the gleefully stupid opener "Eat Y'self Fitter" and "I Feel Voxish." Songs like "Garden," "Tempo House," and "Hexen Definitive/Strife Knot" are longish in the way some songs from HEX ENDUCTION HOUR and ROOM TO LIVE were. All and all, a great representation of what The Fall were about in this period, and with 5 bonus tracks from singles, including the classic "Kicker Conspiracy.""

Eatyrself fitter.

"I think I love the fall more than anyone right now, wait a second its 2001 not 1984, am I going backwards?"

An early look at the Mighty Fall

"An enjoyable romp through early video performances of Mark E. Smith and company. Songs include "Wings," "Kicker Conspiracy," and "Totally Wired.""
