There are great albums throughout their entire discography but if you're looking for somewhere to start I'd recommend This Nation's Saving Grace. Personally, I think that Grotesque (After the Gramme), Hex Enduction Hour, Perverted by Language, The Wonderful and Frightening World of The Fall and This Nation's Saving Grace are their strongest bunch of albums from their 'classic' period. That isn't to say that there aren't plenty of very good albums afterwards, but those wouldn't be a bad place to start.

i agree. their more accesible but in general i guess the fall have great records in every decade from 70's to 10's

Start with the Marc Riley era (1979-1982). This is the "classic" punkish era.
The Brix era (1983-1990) is more pop sounding but very catchy and most of it is great as well.
Skip all the 90's albums its all shit.
I liked all the 2003-2008 albums. This seemed like a more commercial comeback for Mark, but the music was still pretty weird.
Never got around to listening to the last 5 albums, they are probably good too (2010-2017).
RIP in piece.

Listen to This Nation’s Saving Grace (1985). It’s easily the best introduction to the band, I think most fans would agree on that. If you like it then start from the beginning and go chronologically.

there's no consensus. for example i recall thom yorke praising records like "unutterable" or "marshall suite"; henry rollins the infotainment scan; steve albini slates; stephen malkmus frenz experiment; james murphy extricate

Unfortunately for you OP, The Fall are the most consistently good band of all time.
