Today's Order of Business: The Fall (!)

A band that had fallen off my radar since the late '90s, Your Future Our Clutter is a setpiece and should be listened to as such, starting off strong and gaining momentum as it goes. Mark E Smith's snarl has lost none of its edge - you can still hear the spittle fly.

Layers of distortion unpeel as intros to the next cut, which segues beautifully into the next, and so on. The music carries itself like a stage production - I'm betting this story would be way more interesting than American Idiot, with fresher, more satisfying music to boot.

Save this and play it as an apology to your sons and daughters for filling their planet up with mountainous heaps of useless crap.
