In contrast to the bands earlier albums, TNSG is noted for its pop sensibilities and guitar hooks, and John Leckie's accessible production.[2] This Nation's... was recorded in London between June and July 1985, and is the second of the three consecutive Fall albums produced by John Leckie. The album was accompanied by the singles "Couldn't Get Ahead" and "Cruiser's Creek", and tours of Europe and America.
This Nation's... is widely considered by critics as one of the band's best albums, as well as by guiatarist Brix Smith and Fall bassist Steve Hanley. According to The Guardian, it shows the band "operating just on the edge of the mainstream and at the peak of their accessibility and yet strangeness".[3] In 2002, Pitchfork placed it as their 13th best album of the 1980s.
