Playing to The Fall's key strengths—glam rhythms, jagged riffs, obscure covers (Lee Hazlewood's "Houston", as popularised by Dean Martin) and lexicographic riddles ("Mike's Love Xexagon"?)—this has to be Mark E Smith's strongest set since 1999's The Marshall Suite. "Contraflow" even revisits 1982's rural-wary "Hard Life In Country", just as "Theme From Sparta FC" stomps the same hooligan terrace as 1983's classic "Kicker Conspiracy". Great by Smith's standards. Practically genius by everybody else's.
