Shift-Work is the eleventh studio album by the English post-punk band The Fall, released in 1991. The album showcases the band's characteristic blend of rock, punk, and experimental music, with Mark E. Smith's distinctive vocal style and cryptic lyrics. The sound is marked by repetitive structures and a raw, unpolished production quality, which has been both praised and criticized. The album reflects the band's ongoing evolution and their ability to remain relevant in the changing musical landscape of the early 1990s. Although it did not achieve significant commercial success, it has been recognized as an important entry in The Fall's discography and has garnered a cult following over the years.
