A few years ago, someone in Barcelona said that all the Frank Black fans would fit in a taxi.
Nowadays, the critics are changing their opinion and finally they have started accepting that life after Pixies exists. They have had to do it, not only because the records are great, also because everytime he comes to Barcelona to play, there's a big crowd disposed to have an incredible night with "el gordo" (the fat one) as we know him here.
Sorry for the translating. My english is as good as Mr.Aznar (our asshole president) is good in peace projects.
Big hug for all.

It seems to me very good that Frank Black was experimenting, but it is enough. The experimentation is nice for awhile, but there comes a moment in which the best thing is returning home and doing what he knows best. Like someone said in a concert of Metallica: " it’s very easy, the solution is just doing it”. But it’s not really such easy
Uncle Frank knows how to do it. He has taken his Catholics, has assembled the basic and indispensable material and has scored another bullseye. Like he did in the “Dog in the sand” album. Now that rumour of the Pixies' possible return (Joey Santiago returns to collaborate and another illustrious guest), Black recovers this sound a bit in some of his songs, especially in " Massif Centrale ", with that old spirit that brings back memories. As in the already mentioned " Dog In The Sand ", Black has returned to do a perfect album, but If that one was a good disc, this one overcomes it fully, with incredible moments like that protagonized for the pedal steel of Rich Gilbert or Dave Phillips.
If you don’t believe me, just try with some incredible songs like “This old heartache” (nice refering to Barcelona), “Everything is new” or “Goodbye Lorraine”.

Thanks, Blackolyte
Your spanish is good
I am expecting the review of the most important music magazine of Spain. They are taking too much time to talk about FB. I hope it is because they are listening the record again and again (that's the good way to understand the music of "el gordo")
Big hugs for all
