Free Music Notes for Title Tk
Free Music Review: Kim Deal is extrememly talented
Hit: 4 Stars
I had never bought a Breeders CD before...but I saw there video for Huffer (which is a great song) and then saw them on 120 minutes and they were playing alot of old videos. I bought the album on a whim not expecting much...but its really a terrific cd. At first I was kinda turned off by the rawness of it but after listening it to it for a while you realise how brilliant it is... especially reading about why they purposely recorded it that way. I personally think the album could be a little better if they would have polished it up a bit but I guess this is the way they wanted it to be and I respect it. I also bought Coldplays cd the same day and I only listened to it once because Title Tk blows it out of the water. Cold play is exactly the opposite...its so heavy in production and studio slickness that It's hard to listen to. So I guess Kim Deal is on to something.Free Music Review: Its the Big Deal!!

This album simply rocks. Not in a Rock and Roll fashion, nor a classic 70's or punk 80's fashion. Title TK is the perfect combination between folk and punk, where the atmosphere is created by a revolution of riffs and bass leads. The tone of the record is kept top-notch even if sound quality is meant to be non-digital. I have not heard any of The Breeders last albums yet, but im really impressed with the work theyve done here. The Deal sisters eerie singing and monotone backups are wonderful. I love that whole singing-without-moving-your-tounge-punk thing. The guitars create melodious backup, while the drums are kept below simplicity disregarding the time here and there, lifting the whole basement-type-recording a step.Probably the thing you could condemn about this album is the fact that there are only two types of songs. The gloomy-stmospheric type where voice melodies and bass play the lead roles, and the more edgy and rocking ones, where guitars set the tone, followed by playfull vocals such as "ah-ah-ah-ah."
Songs most notable on the record are "Little Fury," the "title track" that sets the atmosphere for the whole record (my personal favourite) guitars here are pretty cool, especially the high toned ones in the background that come out every once in a while, they give te song a whole happy thing. "Too Alive" which is the edgy type of song, "Put on a Side" which resembles some sonic youth musically, but is set aside by the sisters vocals, simple. "Sinister Foxx" the gloomy tipe where the sister's accent is dramatized by a punk-type pronunciation where certain syllables are pronounced tongueless. And last but not least "Huffer" which is the fastest song of the record.
Ive found that no matter when i listen to this record it puts me in a lively mood. If punk was meant to get you agressive, this is meant to get you awake. Title TK has proved to be one of the best records of the year, and it certainly has moved up the standards in the alt-scene.
My recommendation?
This album is a must!
Free Music Review: Well...
Hit: 4 Stars
it's the Deal sisters. Kim's a Pixie. Me love anything related to Pixies. Little Fury starts with cursing. Me likes. Me wants both sisters as wives... Ok..done..caveman mode off. While this album is slower then Last Splash, it's still catchy/moody/weird/fun (maybe more Pod'ish?). I'm a hugh Pixies fan so I grab anything related to them especially Kim. If you're new (and live under a rock) start off with the Pixies "Surfer Rosa", if it rocks your arse continue to get as much as you can and branch off to Breeders/Amps/Black Francis/Frank Black & The Catholics etc.. "Full on Idle" sounds like it could have come from Come On Pilgrim.Free Music Review: glory days revisited

the wonderful last two albums, pod and last splash, truthfully,are way better than this. if you are a first time breeders fan, go for last splash, not this. but if you feel daring, go for this. its moody, daring, and beautiful.tracks like "london song" and "little fury" are good,
but "huffer" is a brief and very memorable song, and is the reason i coughed up 13 bucks to get it.

Buy the album, if only for the stark perfection of "Off You", one of the best songs I've heard all year...haunting, cryptic stuff. As for the rest of the album, well, with each spin I grow more fond of it. I've got nothing against Albini's rough, scratchy style...I think it helps, rather than detracts from the record.
