After seven reviews, Honeycomb has a rating of 84!! The three full reviews on Metacritic have all been posted on the forum already:

Great! At last it's on metacritic. They usually judge Frank's albums pretty bad so a score of 84 is quite an achievement.

SMYT ended up with a rating of 70, and Dog in the Sand was rated at 71, which given some of the terrible reviews Metacritic considered (eg Q magazine's abysmal review of SMYT)was also some sort of achievement. But I agree Denis, and I will draw a veil over their ratings for BLD and DW!

The average rating is 10 out of 10? :)

Jesus Be Damned! I just read a snippet of the Q magazine review of 'Show Me your Tears':

"Suffers from the same faults as previous efforts: limp tunes, pompous guitar solos and an overwhelming sense of "Will this do?" [Sep 2003, p.98]"

Ignorant fuckers.

Come on, who played a prank to Q and put a Muse record in a Frank Black CD case?

The score is down to 80 today, Uncut has been added but so has Pitchfork's distinctly underwhelming review.

Honeycomb now has a rating of 67 after 22 reviews - I think a few of the reviews posted on Metacritic have not appeared on the forum as yet. Honeycomb now has a lower overall rating than Dog in the Sand (71) and SMYT (70).

The tension is unbearable. Honeycomb is up to a score of 69 after 26 reviews.
