i just can't understand how a Frank Black fan can actually say that Honeycomb is his best album unless they're on crack.
Never done crack, or any kind of illegal substances for that matter, but I can say in 100% honesty that Honeycomb is likely my favourite Frank Black album.
To bastardize the old Rolling Stone quote about Eric Clapton: NimrodsSon is living proof that people like better music on drugs. (sorry. couldn't resist. actually, i envy you.)

Well, I've done it. I've completely fallen in love with the first disc. I liked it before, quite a bit for some songs, but now finally I've transcended to love. Now I just have to do that with Disc 2 (assuming I can stop playing disc 1) and we will have a new classic in the vein of SMYT.

Funny how it's really hard to agree on what's great Frank.
yes. the man is an elephant and we're all blind.

I wasn't meaning to imply that SMYT is Frank at his greatest, but it will someday be a classic. I don't think FMRM reaches DITS heights but I could see it as on par with SMYT, which shocked me. I do quite like that album, but not as much as TOTY, DITS, and a few others.

nimrod's son is obviously in the depths of denial . it might be time for an intervention
Okay, okay, you're right. If I'm really being completely honest with myself, Black Letter Days is my favourite.
...and Honeycomb is second!

I love material from all his career. I think we get spoiled as fans b/c even if a track on one of his cds is "the worst" it is 1000xs better than other people's music. That said I think fans hold his music to higher standards.
Anyway my point is that I like all the music from all points in his career. It's all different, unique and really really good.
That said I think FB tends to be waaaay ahead of his time musically (since Pixies) and sometimes it just takes the popular culture years to catch up with where he's at.
Anyway I love music from all points of his career and what I listen too mainly depends on my mood and what FB cds I have around at that moment.
I think Daisy Girl captured my feelings on Frank's musical career. We ARE spoiled(thank you Frank) and also blessed to have discovered his music. |

| I greatly prefer his early stuff. I have FMRM--its a good album--listen to it now and then--but 10 years from now I'll most likely still be listening to TOTY or DITS--and I really dont know if I will even remeber FMRM. For instance--I havent listened to Show me your tears since the year it came out. My preference is just rooted in the old school quirky punk style--and that goes for most of what I listen to I guess. Still--I bought tix to his Philly Show--I'll be there. |

I tried an experiment in my mind: I kept asking myself which albums would be hardest to completely give up. That process, divorced from context as much as possible, helped me realize how the past few albums don't measure up well--at least against the "what if you could never hear it again" criterion. Maybe there's more to it than that.
