'Code Selfish' is harsh anduncompromising, although there is a doffed cap to melody amongst thesteaming rubble, the detritus.

Pitchfork

It's nearly as good as Extricate, bringing the band's nasty edge back full force without returning outright to familiar territory. And unlike Shift-Work, C:S doesn't leave you wondering what you're in for after the first track.

The Fall's famous crudity is back, along with Madchester's dance craze, so, get in its trance by simply using the code: selfish and feel the poignant vibes shaking the foundation.
