[Originally released in 1991, Shift-Work reinvents] The Fall as easy listening. Smooth, almost non-existent guitar lines, gentle puffy production, dance-y drumming, Mark E. Smith actually singing.… Smooth dance and pop, most of it really pleasant. "Idiot Joy Showland," "Pittsville Direkt," "High Tension Line," and "You Haven't Found It Yet" are my dreamtime companions, but "The Book Of Lies" is … like Tom Jones or something.… The mood is a truly relaxing one.… More cohesive than Extricate, and a very interesting way to handle the post-Brix crisis.
