The Infotainment Scan
Editorial Reviews
<"b0000064907499"> Amazon.com
With 22 albums to his credit since 1977, the question you have to ask about any new release by Mark E. Smith is: How is this Fall album different from all others? The Infotainment Scan is the first release under the strange pact between Matador and Atlantic Records, but there's nothing new or noteworthy about the English group's tuneless drones and Smith's odd monotone vocals (he singsa lika thissa). Smith pursues his usual Kafka/1984 fantasies on songs such as "Paranoia Man in Cheap Sh*t Room" and "Ladybird (Green Grass)" as the latest in an ever-changing cast of sidemen dutifully churn along, but it's all been done better before. Try the 1990 compilation 458489 A-Sides. --Jim DeRogatis --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
