The Digital Fix
Yet again they reinforce the paradigm of unmistakably sounding like The Fall but also coming up with something new in the same breath

Drowned In Sound
Another impressive set of songs knotted with obtuse meaning, buttressed by abraded guitar lines from Peter 'PP' Greenway, scuffed into malformed shape by Dave Spurr’s bass rumble, and fueled by a warm analogue purr from Elena Poulou.

Whatever place Your Future Our Clutter ultimately holds in the Fall’s extensive catalogue, it sounds a lot like Mark E. Smith’s saving grace

Ff this was the debut album by a young band, rather than the 28th by a band led by a 53-year-old ... they'd be on the front page of every music mag and on the lips of every hipster

The Sunday Times
Glides on streamlined grooves, eschewing the scuffed scree of old, and Mark E Smith’s audaciously insufficient voice is now focused by surgically precise phrasing

Eye Weekly
There are enough hard-hitting yell-alongs and caustic quips on the band’s 28th album, their first for Domino, to dispel any actual fears of band or singer going soft

The Fall enter their fifth decade heads held high: higher, once more, than any of their contemporaries. Here’s to all our futures

The Guardian
Now intact for two consecutive albums, this incarnation of the Fall is the most stable in 15 years, with good reason: it's a ferocious unit, propulsive, choppy and playful

Mark E’s not so much a ‘hideous replica’, more of a ‘hip priest’ of our time

Over the years Smith has built an extensive discography of both masterpieces and stinkers; I’m happy to report that you can safely place Your Future Our Clutter in the former category

The lean, brute-force rockers on Your Future Our Clutter suggest that the Fall might actually be taking this upgrade to Domino seriously

The Line Of Best Fit
There’s nothing as broodingly funky as ‘Blindness’, nor as wistful as ‘Mountain Energei’, but the surge of adrenalin demonstrated here shows there may be a classic in this line-up yet

A tight, coherent, rock-out album - and it's great to see some discipline back ... Three great songs, six OK ones; and a headful of bewildering imagery

If the ranting occasionally suggests generic provocation for its own sake, Smith's fury, amplified by the pounding grooves, is oddly uplifting
