Couldn't finish the album
i dont like this guy's style of singing at the start it's ok.......... nothing to note would prefer to not to listen to this stuff again is not my cup of tea.........
I can’t stand Frank Black.
Mediocre music with a sub par singer. So glad I had to listen to this before I died👎
Not my jam
Crappy garage band of the year…
god this was a frustrating listen. When I saw the cover I immediately thought I was going to dislike it, but once I saw it was Frank Black of the Pixies fame I thought it might be interesting (though my enjoyment of the pixies is mixed). This album was a mess. Bloated to all hell, with 90% of the songs being entirely uninteresting. I was the 10% that experimented with more loud rock elements was extended. Unfortunately this one doesn't make it to a favorable rating for me. 1.4/5 -> 1/5
Amazed that this got on the list. Couldn't even finish it
Couldn’t make it through the damn thing. Men need therapy if they think this is good.
Just couldn't get through this album. It was too noisy. How is this music?
sucks that this was awful
Frank Black / Pixies are the epitome of suck rock of the early 90s, and I mean that in a yes they are horrible way.
This list ... this 'Must listen to' ... He's pranking us, isn't he.
No a fan. There’s too much pixies content on here!
No. Just. No.
Überbewertet! Schon das Cover sagt mir: Nix! Habs trotzdem probiert. Nö, tatsächlich nichts!
Zelfs op de achtergrond begon die te vervelen
Iggy Pop made headlines 25 years before with better songs so trying to be his clone is no success plan.
p724. 1994. 1 star. Average vocals, average songs, average playing. And it's a double album. Who decided this was essential listening?
1. pong - 1 2. thalacracy - 1 3. plain - 1 4. caliztan - 1 5. zpiez - 1 6. zpeedy - 1 7. headache - 1 8. rockbaby - 1 9. freedom - 1 10. reelerz - 1 11. fiddle - 0 12. mulholland - 1 13. eyez - 1 14. forever - 1 15. hoztezz - 1 16. zupera - 1 17. red - 1 18. zpace - 1 19. noize - 0 20. band - 1 21. uuorld - 1 22. zky - 1
I like the Pixies. I don't like this.
Big chore of an album with nothing coming close to the best Pixies songs. First few tracks are absolute pain and torture and whilst it does become more listenable as it goes on it’s still about 20 tracks too long. 1.99 stars.
I really couldn't get into this. I honestly skipped over almost all of it.
Could not get past the chaos of noise. 1/10.
If I was christened Charles Michael Kittridge Thompson IV I would have felt blessed and the last thing I would have done was change it to Frank Black. But this critter did and that lack of judgement and sensibility is very much reflected in this collection of music. I say music in its loose sense because there is nothing here in this long procession of songs to interest me or offer anything new which is always something I hope for when I am given a previously unknown artist. 1/5 1/9/24
Not for me, thanks.
hard pass
gosciu z Pixies czyli zespolu ktory mi sie pierwszy trafil w tej kompilacji i skomentowalem to tak - Słabe. Taka muzyka dla "uhm uh jestem zajebisty i slucham pixies i pije tanie piwo z puszki pod czarnym kotem"
Who is this? I’m gonna struggle to keep going with random nonsense
No
It had potential but kinda made my ears bleed
19%
Good lord it was bad, I had a hard time getting through it
frank black is my opp
Did not like
What do you call this, talk rock? I mean, if you're going to make such a point of not singing melodically, at least have something interesting to say. This dude is fucking gross. This isn't interesting to me at all. It's hard for me to imagine anyone actually getting into this. There's nothing here.
So many really good musicians in the US. I wonder how Mr. Black made it into this List? - 0/5
Wholly and shockingly unremarkable...when not otherwise just terrible. I hated this album then, and I hate it now. Sounds like a talentless kid gifted some recording equipment and a budget. A few non-horrible songs (e.g. "Calistan") don't save the overall boring dogshit. Anything in the Pixies family tree should have suffered the fate of the Fangorn trees at the behest of Saruman. Tear them all down. 2/10 1 star.
I could't get into this at all. I thought the vocals sounded awful and off-key throughout the majority of the album.
This really gave me nothing
I’ve listened to this once before and did not enjoy it. Three songs in and I feel the same way again. The Pixies really just didn’t do anything nearly as interesting after breaking up. At least The Breeders and The Martinis were sort of doing different things than Pixies and were relatively better for it, but Black Francis/Frank Black sort of just seems like he wanted to make poppier Pixies songs here, and I think he at least succeeds at creating a Pixies-esque sound, which is not something that The Breeders or The Martinis seemed like they were really trying to do. However, it’s an unfortunate continuation of the downward trend that started with Bossanova. You’re better off turning this off and listening to Doolittle or Surfer Rosa.
Uhhhh Punk rock zonder energie
Garbage
I don't like the pixies, and it turns out because if this guy!
2/10
Definitely NOT. Salvaged ‘Fiddle Riddle’ from the hot mess of an album but other than that it's a tosser.
Didn't enjoy it, at times it was alright but mostly just mad yelling sounding
Going to need someone to explain to me why this isn't hot garbage, because that's exactly what it feels like to me.
Not my thing
A divisive album with inconsistent song quality and an experimental sound. It may appeal to die-hard fans but falls flat for me
Not my jam...
I understand the Pixies to be quite highly regarded, but this just did not cut it at all for me. It felt extremely bland, and I actually didn't manage to sit through the whole of it. Even though it was just an hour long it felt like I was listening to it the whole morning. Not in a good way.
Headache good. Rest ok.
This was far too long of an album, completely void of any consistency. After halfway through the terrible vocals started getting on my nerves just wanted it to end. "White Noise Maker" yes that's exactly what this album was. Booooring.....
Didn't really enjoy this. Aggressive and boring at the same time. Not to my taste, won't listen again.
Meh. First song didn’t seem to bad but after that I didn’t like it
pas trop écouté
Shit was ass
Yea this album is just annoying (its a pixies related thing after the good years of the pixies is not that surprising)
No
Miksi tääkin on näin pitkä?? Ei joka biisiin riitä ideaa! Jos yhdessäkään biisissä on kunnollista. Täytyy olöa tosi karismaattinen sooloesiintyjä, että tällanen toimik. Levylle asti se ei välity
Tiedän - kun säveltäessä tulee vaiheeseen, jossa pitäisi kehittää biisiin koukku, on huomattavasti kivempaa vain laittaa sen tilalle jokin jännä sointu tai monotoninen huudahdus. Loppuun mietittyjen biisien sijasta on myös paljon kivempaa tehdä kokoelma lyhyitä näytteitä, joita voi sijoittaa monta putkeen, ja leikkiä, että ne korvaavat 'perinteiset' kappaleet. Ehkä artistilla ei omassa historiallisessa tilanteessaan ollut realistista vaihtoehtoa. Traagista.
Made it through it. I feel like no way this album is on this list if it wasn't for the Pixies pedigree.
Not for me. Enjoy the sound but not the lyrics. Can appreciate how clever they are nonetheless.
Not for me. I didn't see anything special in this.
Terrible
Sarà sicuramente stato una perla rara per il suo periodo, il suo genere, il suo stato ecc ecc. ma su di me, è totalmente ininfluente.
slightly dissonant kinda gritty ramblings. Dragged on and on. This is loading screen music for a C-tier skateboarding game.
Yuck
Didn't enjoy this one. Didn't finish it. 1/5 stars.
Terrible
Too punky…. Nope
puuuuhh idk zu lang, kommt irgendwie nicht aus dem Knick, nir in bestimmten Stimmungen gut
What a dreadful noise. If I could give it 0 I would.
I quite like the Pixies. But this is one of the worst things I’ve ever heard. 1/5
Eh
Hey Frank, the 90's called. They want their award back. Apparently you were not a teenager at the time of the award and furthermore, your album isn't even listed under your "Albums" section, instead it is under "compilations". I don't know if that is because it is a collection of your worst songs. I won't ever find out. Frank Black, wearing all white, at least got me to write more than "How bout no" but I can't put any more words towards this.
Hard pass...

aweful
Gosh, two crap albums in a row. Pretty disappointed in this part of the selection algorithm.
