''Are You Are Missing Winner'' is the twenty-second album by British post-punk band The Fall, released in November 2001 on CD and in January 2002 as a vinyl picture disc. Since the previous year's release of the critically acclaimed ''The Unutterable'', Fall front man Mark E. Smith had replaced his entire band with a new line-up, a fact he acknowledges in a refrain in the album's opening track: "We are the new Fall". ''The Unutterable'' The album features a cover version of the northern soul track "Gotta See Jane", originally by R. Dean Taylor (The Fall had previously achieved a minor hit in 1987 with a version of Taylor's "There's a Ghost in My House"). Also featured are versions of Lead Belly's "The Bourgeois Blues", as "Bourgeois Town"; and of Iggy Pop's "African Man", as "Ibis-Afro Man"; the latter being particularly experimental with different recordings of the track frequently playing simultaneously throughout. "Kick the Can" takes its title from an episode of ''The Twilight Zone''. Critical reception to ''Are You Are Missing Winner'' was somewhat mixed, often focusing unfavourably on the contrast with ''The Unutterable''. Among the album's more negative reviews is that of John Bush of Allmusic, who suggests, "''Are You Are Missing Winner'' represents a rare misstep for the mighty Fall.〔Bush, John. (Review ). Allmusic. Retrieved 6 February 2006.〕" Edwin Pouncey, writing in ''The Wire'', is more upbeat: "…Smith scatterguns half remembered lyrics and conducts a whirlpool of splintered guitar, dishevelled drum and battered bass sounds with a Quasimodic Gene Vincent leather gloved fist that claws even deeper into the raw clay of innovation that birthed rock 'n' roll and continues to fuel Smith's unique vision.〔Pouncey, Edwin (Feb. 2002). (Review ). ''The Wire''.〕" == Track listing == # "Jim's "The Fall"" (Mark E. Smith, Jim Watts) – 2:39 # "Bourgeois Town" (Lead Belly, arr.
