Grotesque (After the Gramme) is the third studio album by English band the Fall. Released on 17 November 1980, it was the band's first studio album release on the record label Rough Trade. It topped the UK Independent Chart, spending 29 weeks on the chart in total

Kicking off with the thrilling bite of "Pay Your Rates," on Grotesque, the Fall really started hitting its stride, with Marc Riley and Craig Scanlon now a devastatingly effective combination, somehow managing to sound exactly placed between random sloppiness and perfect precision. The sharp rockabilly leads and random art rock racket thrived on both counts, with Smith as always the mad jester ripping into anything and everything while having a great time doing so.

With Grotesque (After the Gramme), the band moved to the . s famed Rough Trade label, which would prove to be a fruitful collaboration. The album sported a slightly cleaner sound, with production by label founder Geoff Travis, the Red Krayola’s Mayo Thompson and eventual Smiths live sound engineer Grant Showbiz. Another furiously catchy Fall album, The Wonderful and Frightening World O. ports cover art that looks like a Cubist nightmare and several sing-a-long tunes, including Lay of the Land, . The chord progression on Draygo’s Guilt makes the wily Mancunians sound like a meaty, all-American band – quintessential rock’n’roll with a weirdo twist.

I bagged a copy of this yesterday, its a UK original and wasn't that cheap. There is this annoying double skip right at the start of English Scheme. I can't find any marks and I can usually fix skips but not here. Its very frustrating. Its clean too. Any pressing issues that anyone knows of as I can't find anything on this here 'net....other than that, its great!

There is a sense of a populace just accepting what they are given, and of being reduced to caricatures of themselves. The landscape is grey and unremittingly dismal. People are shuttled around by forces beyond their control. All grows mundane, habitual. "The things that drain you off and drive you off the hinge. / Boils, dirty socks, the ceilings collapse. / The Sunday morning loud lawn mower" ...

Hey, "Container Drivers" ist great!!!

The Fall: What can one say about them? They have managed to exist for 30-plus years in one form or another. Their early work though, the stuff that sounds like it was made by ambitious people with better ideas than talent, is the best. And despite the instrumental chops, the music, if at times you could call it that, manages to have a certain power, and, well, cojones, if it comes right down to it. Take "Container Drivers"...what the hell is that? An insane attempt at rockabilly that still manages to come off as enjoyable? And "A New Face In Hell", with...kazoo? And Mark E. Smith's ear-splitting shrieks and yelps. I discovered The Fall in 1977 when I stumbled across a copy of Bingo Master's Breakout/Pyscho Mafia, and I, for some reason, was sucked right in and have been a fan to this day. Even saw them live on their US tour supporting "The Frenz Experiment" back in the 80's.... Anyway, it's hard to say that "Grotesque" is just another fine entry in The Fall's catalog, because it's almost like a transition from the old Fall to a newer, well, more close to "music" Fall...but it's also a bunch of insanely enjoyable racket that will drive your neighbors nuts at the proper volume. In fact, it's 7 AM Saturday morning, I think I'll go put it on and turn it up to 11 right now.
