The Fall's second album, released the same year as their debut (1979), refines its predecessor's somewhat embryonic approach, simplifying the sonic attack and achieving greater concision and sense of purpose. Mark E. Smith's lyrical themes are a bit darker, but still juggle post-punk sociopolitical commentary with dense, imagistic wordplay. Perhaps most importantly, DRAGNET marks the arrival of guitarist Craig Scanlon and bassist Steve Hanley, who would prove crucial to the band's progression over the next few years. Scanlon and Marc Riley's scrappy, lo-fi guitar din is appropriately discordant and repetitive, emphasizing the bleak societal framework from which the album emerged.

The song structures are pared down to basic, almost primal extremes, making for a more instant communication of intent, with Smith's disgruntled observations delivered over purposefully primitive, occasionally martial bashing. DRAGNET provides the template from which the Fall would continue to fashion its trademark sound over their next couple of releases. The 2004 reissue also appends a wealth of bonus tracks for the Fall completist.

2004 deluxe expanded reissue of 1979 album features 22 tracks including 11 rare bonus tracks, 'Rowche Rumble', 'In My Area', 'Fiery Jack', '2nd Dark Age', 'Psykick Dancehall 2', 'Rowche Rumble' (Take 2, Take 3 Take 4, & Take 5), & 'In My Area' (Take 1, Take 2), released for the first time from original tapes. Includes expansive booklet & slipcase. Castle.

Includes bonus tracks.

Liner Note Author: Daryl Easlea.Q (4/04, p.131) - 4 stars out of 5 - "DRAGNET is Mark E Smith and chums in willfully difficult but imaginatively fertile form..."
Q (4/04, p.131) - 4 stars out of 5 - "DRAGNET is Mark E Smith and chums in willfully difficult but imaginatively fertile form..."
Mojo (Publisher) (1/03, p.106) - "...This is music that punches and scratches, with tales of wartime psychics and exorcisms told over speedy, primitive post-punk..."

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

5 stars The best album The Fall put out
I've own this album in vinyl and always loved it. The CD sounds like it came directly off the vinyl tho, not the greatest sound quality. But having it on CD makes me happy. Great album, dark and funky, you have to love Mark E. Smith's style.

3 stars Mistaken Identity !
This is not want I wanted or expected. This has nothing to do with the Theme of the Dragnet Radio programme. I had expected a track from Ray Anthony not a group called Dragnet of which I had never heard and am not interested in. However, I can see the connection and accept that I must write this off against experience.
