Frosting On The Beater

Another band recalled from my college radio days of the early to mid-90s, that I'd completely forgotten about. Surprised to discover the stuck around so long, only to be Me-Too-ed out of existence. Found most of this inoffensive but not that impressive, kind of a slacker, grunged-up Byrds vibe with pretty weak singing. The last song is very strong though.

I have friends who are huge fans of the band, but I've never really gotten into them. I find them to be second-tier power pop; and every time I listened to the band I reaffirm myself on that

I am always here for some Power Pop

Some nice inoffensive pop music you could play for a grandmother or a sick dog.

I always get the Posies mixed up with the Pixies. I don't care for the Pixies, but I like the Posies a lot. I consider myself a power pop fan - Big Star is one of my all-time favorites, and I love Matthew Sweet and Teenage Fanclub - but I haven't really listened to much by the Posies for some reason. I'll take this as a good reason to right that wrong. This album is great. I plan to re-listen and check out more of their catalog. It's a shame Ken Stringfellow turned out to be a bad guy, but I do try to separate art from the artist in general. 4 stars.

8/10. This was a fun listen

This is something that would not be out of place on the original list, which is not exactly a compliment. 6/10

3/5 album, but 0/5 album title. This set me up for the false hope that it would be as delightful as licking frosting off the beater, and it was nowhere close.

Meh, I don't think it brought anything new personally.

Seems like the sort of thing that would've been on the list.

Very 90s alt-rock. Inoffensive but a whole lot of nothing for me.
