New guitarist Brix Smith, wife of leader Mark E., added a partly melodious sheen that brought an air of 60s subculture to the group's post-industrial rattle. Nothing was sacrificed in the process and while \"Bombast\" hurtles with a vicious power, talismen Can were acknowledged in \"I Am Damo Suzuki,\" the name of the German band's Japan-born singer.

Whenever someone expresses curiosity about the Fall, \u003ci\u003eThis Nation's Saving Grace\u003c\/i\u003e is always the LP that I point them toward. As the best and most consistent LP of the Fall's most accessible period, \u003ci\u003eTNSG\u003c\/i\u003e is the Fall at their most proto-indie, which is still very much the Fall and hence weird by most anyone's standard. Songs like \"Spoilt Victorian Child,\" \"L.A.,\" and \"Gut of the Quantifier\" seem to me like the main place where bands like Pavement and the Pixies copped a lot of their sound, and while the Pixies in particular are a band I just can't listen to anymore I still eat up \u003ci\u003eTNSG\u003c\/i\u003e like candy. And then, of course, there are the slightly more askew songs like \"Bombast\" and \"I Am Damo Suzuki,\" which are bound to be the pet favorites of any die-hard Fall fan. Whether or not you even want the perfect entry into the world of the Fall that this LP provides, though, \u003ci\u003eThis Nation's Saving Grace\u003c\/i\u003e is without a doubt a stone-cold classic post-punk LP... one of the best things to come out of Britain in the 80s and essential listening for anyone interested in underground music of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beggar's Banquet Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":3741158849,"sku":"150616003","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0255\/7539\/products\/IMG_2780_932620a3-e44a-4328-989f-b8df947b4760.jpg?v=1434473611"},{"product_id":"joy-division-substance-2x12-new","title":"Joy Division: Substance 2x12\"","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-value='[null,2,\"To celebrate the 35th anniversary of \\\"Love Will Tear Us Apart\\\" on June 27th, Rhino is pleased to announce the re-issue of Still as a 2LP set on heavyweight 180-gram vinyl.

Beneath The Shadows is the second studio album by the American hardcore punk band T.S.O.L. (True Sounds of Liberty), released in 1982 through Alternative Tentacles. With the addition of keyboardist Greg Kuehn to the lineup, the band moved away from punk rock in favor of a gothic rock sound in the vein of The Damned and Siouxsie and the Banshees. Although the album was critically well received, it was all too much for their hardcore punk fans at the time, and after an appearance playing live in Penelope Spheeris’ 1984 film Suburbia, founding members Jack Grisham and Todd Barnes left the band and for the classic line-up it was all over until they reunited 16 years later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOur take\u003c\/b\u003e: Dink Records brings this American punk masterpiece, T.S.O.L.’s second album from 1982, back into print. Unconstrained by the lack of ambition that kept most American punk bands ghettoized in the underground, with \u003cem\u003eBeneath the Shadows\u003c\/em\u003e T.S.O.L. created a sound and a record that could stand alongside any of the bigger-budget, pop-chart-troubling records by bands like the Buzzcocks, the Stranglers, the Damned, or Siouxsie and the Banshees. \u003cem\u003eBeneath the Shadows\u003c\/em\u003e’ closest soundalike is the Damned circa \u003cem\u003eThe Black Album\u003c\/em\u003e, when they reveled in Beatles-inspired pomposity without losing their ability to write a great hook (case in point: “Wait for the Blackout”). Similarly, \u003cem\u003eBeneath the Shadows\u003c\/em\u003e is a dense and lush record, with the guitars, keyboards, and vocals fighting for center stage. When all three players go for the gold—as they do on the brilliant title track—it’s orgiastic, melodies bombarding you from every direction. Really, though, there isn’t a dud on the entire record. If you’re a fan of the bands I mentioned, or if you’re a fan of T.S.O.L.’s earlier, equally brilliant records who never ventured on to album #2, get this in your ears right away.
