‘Shift-Work,’ released in April 1991, marks a significant moment in the legacy of The Fall band. This album features standout tracks like ‘Idiot Joy Showland,’ where Mark E. Smith delivers a sharp critique of the Madchester scene, and the album’s title track, ‘Shift-Work.’ With its blend of avant-garde sounds and witty lyrics, this record is often cited among the best post-punk albums from 1991.
The album also includes ‘The War Against Intelligence,’ a reflection of Smith’s unique perspective, and ‘Edinburgh Man,’ a heartfelt homage to his adopted city. Each track is a testament to The Fall’s innovative approach to music.
