Looks like the Punctuation Fairy has abandoned SkateAlex again.
I like it, tis a fine album. Slap my wrists though, I haven't heard Pod so I'm in no position to compare.

I love Title TK. I too was worried when placing the order. Completely releaved when I got it though. The distortion is great. Sinister Fox and Forced To Drive are faves, exp. Forced To Drive.

Yeah I'd probably say Pod was the stronger album but I dunno,they're not entirely comparable,being 2 completely different points in kims career/musical styles

Pod is definitely better
But there are a couple of gems on Title TK too...
personal favorites:
1) TNT -->into--> Huffer
2) first track (don't know the name)
3) third or fourth track ("That's what you get..." and something about nitrous)

Forgive me if I'm wrong but aren't "when i was a painter" and "limehouse" the only ones there off Pod?

Now I know I need only dig up title tk if I wish to be complete.
Pod is a balm.
Do you know how fun it was to be a guy in a band and get to sing (and play) "When I Was A Painter" and "Limehouse"?
Do you?
Very fucking fun, thats how fun.
It was very fun indeed.

| Its inferior to pod, but still better then a lot of alternative records. I like it quite a bit. Bam Thwok would have fit right in with these songs. God bless America and God bless the sisters Deal! Four more years, four more years! |

i don't know, i always prefered tk, just had a calmer feel to it, wasn't trying to be like the pixies were, it seemed more honest, more like the music they wanted to do... maybe i'm just reading too much into it, but i do prefer title tk.

| Title TK lacked ideas. Pod was brilling with them, so much in fact they spilled over to the brilliant Safari EP and Last Splash. |

I prefer Pod, but there are some great songs on TK. And it has probably the sexiest song ever: "Off You"

Call me crazy, but my fave Breeders album is Last Splash. Title TK is awesome though. I first bought the 10" ep with Off You on A-Side, and listening to this gemm on vinyl was a once in a lifetime experience.

I don't know. Beware though: there are no unreleased songs on it, it's just 3 songs from the album. I think it's got Off You on A-side and Little Fury + The She on the other. Just for the die-hard fans then, but the object itself is wonderful.

I'm not looking for new stuff, just on in a (maybe stupid) vintage vinyl fever. I'm buying again my fave records on vinyl. A waste of money? I'm really enjoying it!

Although the Breeders never did much for me, I really like Title TK. Overall it's good fun and "Off You" does get under my skin. I also own Pod and Last Splash but honestly I've never paid them much attention. I know, I'll work on it, I promise.

Just listen to No Aloha over and over until you fully get its brilliance. You'll be amazed.

whoreatthedoor, for new Breeders stuff, check out the 7" released with Title TK(forget the name). It has the Theme to Buffy on it and it is intramental. It's not new, but it was not on TK. IT is always on ebay for about $1.

I dig Title TK way more than Pod
Off You is so beautiful
and I like the arrangements on Title TK more
On Pod it sounded too much Surfer Rosa to me
while Title TK has a different feel to it
just my idea though
I don't get the whole Pod praising
it's certainly a great album
but not a thousand times better than TK
I can't compare those to Last Splash though
it's on another wave length
probably the biggest selling 4ad album

pod did sound alot more lively and boucy than title tk!
i love it now! i like then way she doesnt edit/prosess her voice...it sounds raw and natural and honest. its send shivers down my spine...i love it...
its alot deeper than pod...pod is a good album to have a good time but when you grow up and want think about what it all means or want something to console you...then title tk!
if i had a girlfriend who wrote me a song like that she would so me doted over.... |

I wondered when someone was going to admit to this. As good as Pod and Title TK are (and they ARE), Last Splash is easily the best.
Help me! He keeps making me post!

i think Pod is the best "solo" record by any of the crew.
it is absolutely phenomenal, and is better than any of franks ones.
it's just so goddam fresh and exciting, and mr albini did a phenomenal job on it too (don't get to say that often).
Last Splash is quite good too, but nowhere near the brilliance of pod, and title tk is just uneven - some absolute crackers, but some stinkers too.

the only thing i don't like about pod is the sound level on it. you really have to turn it up to hear it properly, so when i record it onto minidisc its just not loud enough.
...then when you play last splash afertwards its like BAM!!! the fucking walls start to shake cos the volume is all the way up |

I haven't bought 'Pod', I admit. 'Lash Splash' has some great moments, and 'Title TK' is probably my fave.
'Off You', a beautiful song, is spoilt by that strange feedback sound near the beginning. It hurts. |

man, you must be out of your mind...'Pod' is damn good, but I haven't listened to it nearly as many times as even my least favorite FB solo album! |
