Strange that this band was bigger in the UK than they were here. This is their last album for 20 years. Only 4 albums but they were an influential band. Noticing the
absence of Kim Deal's vocals on most tracks of this album and I don't like it. Nothing wrong with Black's though. Didn't know my fav track here is a Jesus and Mary
Chain song. The only cover on the album. Black Francis anounced the end of the band on BBC Radio in 1993, It was a surprise to the rest of the band. But they all
needed a break and went their seperate ways. Black Francis renamed himself Frank Black and had a few solo albums. Kim Deal returned to her Breeders side gig and
had a hit with Cannonball, and has also had solo albums. The band have all remained friends. They reformed in 2009 for an album and tour but you can never go home.
Kim Deal announced her departure in 2013.
