Just listening to "Black Letter Days" wow! I think I've (again!) changed my ranking of his solo work. Used to be:1)TOTY 2) FB 3)BLD's.......now: 1)TOTY 2)BLACK LETTER DAYS! 3)FB
Also,those 3 albums are in a league of their own. I luv all his solo stuff iclud. Catholics, but the rest of his releases PALE in comparison to these three.
Just as, all the Pixies releases are in a similar league of THEIR own. Frank's solo stuff PALES in comparison to any Pixies releases. |

I don't know that I would. I'm a much bigger fan of post-Pixies Frank personally, but it is all damned good so we're splitting hairs I guess.
However, I would add Dog in the Sand to your list of standout FB albums.

BLD is next on my list of albums i need to buy. From my the albums i have in my Frank collection so far i would rate them this way
1, Doolittle
2, Trompe Le Monde
3, Surfer Rosa
4, TOTY
5, DITS
6, Come On Pilgrim
7, Frank Black
8, Complete Pixies B-sides
9, Bossanova
Isn't it refreshing to see a list where The Simpsons arent top on the poll. |

We're so lucky that The Man creates such amazing music.
While it's hard to rate these things, I must say that
Catholics trumps Pixies any time in my book.
I still believe in the excellent joy of the Catholics |

hi, i'm new here and I just recently purchased Black letter Days (that's right .. didn't download it either, probably the first disc I've paid for in three years or so) and I absolutely think it's great! I've had mixed feelings about the Black and the Catholics in general up until now.

cultofs, welcome. FB+theCs are amazing, in my unbiased (cough)
opinion. Plenty more good stuff where Black Letter Days came
from, my friend!
I still believe in the excellent joy of the Catholics |

| For each album there's somtehing to enjoy, more or less. It's too hard for me to make a ranking. I only can't wait until the next album and see the man live again.. |

You won't be happy that Frank is considering calling the second volume of Nashville sessions "The Simpsons," then.

Dog In The Sand is good, however it is the only BF/FB album that I have become bored with. There are still songs on there I want to hear, but I find myself wanting to change to Cult of Ray when Im getting towards the end.
Ranking? How do you compare the Mona Lisa to Virgin on the Rocks?

Mad Lucas, I know exactly what your saying about Dog in the Sand. I felt that way myself. I found it very hard to get into first day. Then when i thought i had appreciated it enough it was still hard to listen to. Basically there were a few songs that made me play the album over and over and i just dont skip songs. Its a rule for me because i feel its a copout and have been proven many times that the songs i hated first turn out to be the best. Now I rate it this way:
1: Dog in the sand 2: TOTY 3: Pistolero 4: FB I wont add anymore cause i keep changing how i feel about the rest. Pixies would rate this way 1: Surferosa 2: Bossonova 3: Doolittle 4: Trompe Le Monde 5: Come on Pilgrim. Couldnt think to rate them together because its so far apart
Hang on to your Taco! |
