I believe not. If there were enough sales, it might find its way there, but at this point I don't think that's the case. Same deal with Honeycomb.

I am a big fan of FB. Practically all his records are timeless classics to me - but honeycomb (except lone child and honeycomb) and FMRM are probably not going to have the same status for me. There are some good songs on there but it just does not capture me. I am hoping that Frank is going to explore his own totally unique style (perry the wind ...)on later albums.

Well I was a _big_ Pixies fan, paid over the odds on eBay for tickets to see them on the reunion tour and all, but I don't find myself listening to the actual records much these days. Frank Black's solo stuff, by contrast, I listen to all the time.
FMRM is a slow burn, I didn't find it as instantly brilliant as "Dog In The Sand", "Devils Workshop", "Black Letter Days" or the wonderful "Show Me Your Tears" but it keeps tugging me back in.
I think he's like Dylan, he changes and develops and also like Dylan he never stops putting records out. He is up there with the greats. |

Not a cabalist of Frank Black's work -- which is intimidating writing on a forum with so many learned members -- but this album is, at least to me, his most mature and comprehensive.
I don't know how to describe it without mentioninng my worthless tastes or musical preferences. This kind of album makes me embarrassed to listen to the majority of music on the radio. |
