Free Music Review: Good, but the yardstick of the Pixies haunts it
Hit: 4 Stars
I guess I'm not the popular guy at the coffee house here, but the Breeders and Frank Black on his own don't rock as hard as the Pixies used to. Maybe if Frank had given Kim Deal more singing parts this could have all been avoided.Free Music Review: Stunning. Life-changing.
Hit: 5 Stars
I never heard the Pixie's beyond "Where Is My Mind" and I don't care about "Cannonball" much. I bought this tape for a buck at a used record store in Campbell, California, and I can't really tell you when this album first hit me. The incredible genius of it. The beauty of the songs. The astounding progression of slow songs interspersed with fast ones. This album makes total sense. It expresses things I have felt but never said. Kim Deal is a fellow Ohioan and I can feel that. Only someone from Ohio could make this brilliant album. I would place it on the level of Belly's "Star" and Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" in terms of an album you can listen to the whole way through. What I really want to say, is that this is an incredibly rocking album, but it rocks in a way I cannot explain. The tone of the guitars is the rich and deep, the drums and bass are intense. But there's such a diversity in the songwriting. Hmmm. It's just astounding. Free Music Review: lovely

In my experience, i have to disagree with one of the reveiwers below: i think this album has held up very well over the years. Thankfully, "Canonball" is not the only piece of perfect loud pop music on this record. Maybe it has to do with the fact that i remember when i got it, 6 or so years ago, and all of the things that were going on at that time. Sentimental value aside, "Last Splash" borrows from MBV-esque soundscapes, 60's Garage pop anthems, and Sonic Youth quirky noisiness. Although being a pixies fan is in no way a prerequisite to loving the breeders, it makes them extra special for me. I highly recommend it.Free Music Review: My favorite "90's" album...
Hit: 5 Stars
After much debate, this one gets the crown. In the early-mid 90's there were tons of crap alt/pop bands out there to choose from. The sad thing is, The Breeders often get mixed into that sort of artsy fartsy chick rock thing, and they are anything but that.
From beginning to end, this cd rocks. There are a few quick to the punch power jams, and a few you will recognize, (ie: Cannonball) but the best thing about this cd are the unknown songs like "I Just Wanna Get Along," "Divine Hammer," and"Driving on 9," the last of which is a cajun-style country rock ballad that will blow your mind.
In short, I don't recommend this cd to just anyone...but if you want to remember that aspect the 90's, Last Splash will take you back there in a hurry.
Free Music Review: awesome!
