Fuck off, NME. First you decide to review BLD and DW as one and then you call BLD 'serviceable'. Bet the guy only listened to it once.
I was gonna wail about ranking Pistolero and FB&TC above TOTY and FB but then it's all personal preference, I suppose. I think the playlist selections at the bottom are a bit strange though, especially if they're aimed as an introduction to his work.
"Released just as ex-Pixies-bandmate and ex-lover Kim Deal was striding to alt-success with The Breeders"
"This was nominally the second album Frank recorded with his backing band The Catholics (Lyle Workman of guitar, David McCaffrey on bass and Scott Boutier on drums)"
