...even when he's bad, he's still pretty damn good.

But, if you HAD to choose your least favorite album by Frank, which is it? (Pixies albums not included)

My choice is probably a common one, "The Cult of Ray".

My apologies if this topic has been done ad nausium.

revisit The Cult of Ray. Play it in your car or on the train over and over, and then you might come to realize how rockin' that record is.

Don't get me wrong, I like Cult of Ray fine. I just find it to be weaker than any of Frank's other solo albums, which is a credit to the high quality music the man produces...

Honeycomb would be my choice, though I still LIKE Honeycomb. I just had an out of body Cult of Ray experience just now...listening to several of the songs and marvelling at them. It was my least favorite album for a long time, because I was so disappointed expecting him to trump TOTY with his next album, and not having it happen. Still, I think it is beautiful stuff now.



I'd rather be anywhere or doing anything

honeycomb

COR is great, really great. i can't understand why people dislike it. it is rocking, it is clever, it is playful, it is tight & straight, and it has LYLE WORKMAN as no other album has him.

Wow, Honeycomb is pretty unpopular, I think it's fantastic.

the things i don't like about honeycomb:

- 3 cover songs
- the sound, the arrangements are too smooth for me
- besides the title track & atom in my heart, the songs get a bit boring after a few listens. even the lyrically & emotionally brilliant "i burn today" is very monotonic
- the producer let too much space for the additional musicians. i mean, i never listened to FB songs because of a guitar solo. lyle workman played additional fantastic short guitar, but it fitted the songs better since they were not so dominant (or maybo just so short, like on thallasocracy). rich g. on the other hand, played almost no solos to remember, but his way of guitar playing adapted to FB songs perfectly.

After listening to a Frank album, I have a cigarette and ask the CD player "How was it for you?"

Black Letter Days is my least favourite, it's still pretty good though.

Cult of Ray is magnificent!

honeycomb, although it has some great, great songs. need to listen to again. cor is incredibly wonderful and is a "grower" not a show-er.
