“The Fall” by The Nixons
From the album The Nixons (1997)
“The Fall” by The Nixons appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 1997. It was first released in 1997 on the album The Nixons. Its best result is #87 on the WRCX Top 103 Songs of 1997. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #155 hard rock song of 1997 and #171 of the '90s.
"The Fall" is on the Nixons' self-titled third album, which MCA released in June 1997, and the music credit is shared four ways, among Zac Maloy, Ricky Brooks, Jesse Davis and John Humphrey, with Maloy writing the words on his own.
The record arrived in the wake of "Sister", the acoustic hit ballad that had the band looking like post-grunge's next big thing in 1996, but instead of cutting another one, the Nixons went harder and grungier. AllMusic found little to love beyond "Sad, Sad Me"; Lollipop Magazine's Barbara Restaino was warmer, liking that the songs were just songs, with no experiments attached.
