By Mike Flaherty

THE FALL The Infotainment Scan (Matador/Atlantic) After a four-year exile from U.S. record stores, this postpunk crew returns with a bucketful of bile-and continues to amaze: steady, precise rhythms underpinning Mark Smith's nasal, world-weary drone and dense, inscrutable musings. The Fall's estranged nettling is rock & roll as Gregor Samsa would've done it. And we are not worthy. A- -Mike Flaherty
