This Nation's Saving Grace is the eighth studio album by the English post-punk band the Fall, released in 1985 by Beggars Banquet. In contrast to the band's earlier more abrasive albums, Saving Grace is noted for its pop sensibilities and guitar hooks, and John Leckie's accessible production. Saving Grace was recorded in London between June and July 1985, and is the second of the three consecutive Fall albums produced by Leckie. The album was accompanied by the singles "Couldn't Get Ahead" and "Cruiser's Creek", and tours of Europe and America. Guitarist Brix Smith and bassist Steve Hanley consider Saving Grace to be one of the band's best albums, an opinion widely shared by critics. According to The Guardian, it shows the band "operating just on the edge of the mainstream and at the peak of their accessibility and yet strangeness". In 2002, Pitchfork placed it as the 13th best album of the 1980s.
