''Extricate'' is a 1990 album by the Post Punk band the Fall. It was made immediately after bandleader Mark E. Smith divorced Brix Smith . Many have assumed that the lyrics are bitter indictments of her, although because of the typical cryptic nature of Fall lyrics that is impossible to determine. Brix's departure influenced more then just the subject matter of the album, it also helped define the sound of this album: her background vocals and post-punk guitar, which had become mainstays of The Fall, are noticeably absent in this release. The songs of ''Extricate'' are heavily influenced by the and The Stone Roses . Guitarist Martin Bramah , one of the original players on '' Live At The Witch Trials '' (1979), returned for this album. He adds a distinct rockabilly sound to several of the songs. The critical reception to ''Extricate'' was mixed, as most Fall albums are, but with generally more positive reviews than negative ones. Regardless of personal taste, it is generally agreed, despite some weaker songs, that this album was a major stylistic change for The Fall, which would in turn lead to newer and better things.
