A new Direction for Frank
Overall an average effort by Frank. This is probably the first album where he has filler in the work. Prior to this all of his work had good songs and after the pixies, not as good, but honest attempts to make music. This album probably should have stopped at track 9, but continues on past 20. The last half is weak and it appears that the creativity is lacking on this album unlike most of Frank's other albums. He seems to be experimenting with a mellower sound and getting away from the punk-based sound he had previously. I don't particularly care for it being a fan of punk, but others may like it.
Its worth buying simply for the song 'headache' and the first tracks are typical Frank Black quality, but you will find yourself hitting the next song button after about track 10. If you are a frank Black fan, this is probably not going to be your favorite album of his.
