Sorry I have no time to translate the whole text. The reviewer concludes, «Frank Black offers a sad, humble and generous rock album, which adds one more highlight to his recent discography». I got SMYT (australian edition) yesterday and after 258 listenings I must say that I totally agree with the guy.
As far as I can judge, the Aussie and US / European editions are strictly the same.
I believe that FB is quite appreciated in Japan - maybe more appreciated than in Occident since Japanese editions often include bonus tracks (Valley of our Hope, Le Cigare Volant)...
