5.0 out of 5 stars "Arid" Al is happy!!, May 2, 2006

Years ago I started listening to Infotainment Scan with headphones at work. I sat behind my computer doing CAD design, with this album pumping through the phones. It became a solid favorite album from the Fall, if not an all time favorite. I infected others with this record, and when they lost thier copies they found it out of print.

It's swell that this new version exists. It sounds excellent, at the moment I can't fault anything in the sound. And extra tracks can be fun. This is easily my fave Fall album period. (and I have most of them) Okay, real fookfaces prefer Hex or Perverted, but this is the one for me. Grab it while it exists.

The Infotainment Scan is one of my Top 10 all time favorites. The music is solid, hard driving, and catchy. There are a number of things MES says on this CD that I love (e.g., "Your one of the best songs I've ever heard by Steven King"). The Infotainment Scan passes the test of time.

4.0 out of 5 stars the best of mid 90s era Fall, July 19, 2010

Hardly the greatest album by The Fall, The Infotainment Scan is certainly one of my favorite ones from the early to mid 90s era. The album is made up of short, concise pop songs that don't really challenge the listener's expectations of the band so much as strengthen their ability to work well in this context. It rewards repeat listening with some sharp songcraft and the cover of "I'm Going To Spain" (once called one of the worst songs ever written) vastly improves on the original, making it a highlight here.
