Has its inspired moments but ultimately comes off like something of a vanity project.
-
Fall[s] somewhere between briskly entertaining and simply inconsequential.
-
The set is just a curio, banking everything on Black's low register, which has the texture but not the stamina to pull off so many slow, velvet lullabies about sour romance.
-
If Honeycomb exercises Dylanisms, they're the indulgent kind: stifled melodic repetitions, gaggles of verses, rushed takes that make brilliant musicians appear barely competent.
-
Under The RadarThe tension of is-this-a-joke-or-serious is perhaps the largest aspect of the album's subtle, growing charm. [#10, p.105]
-
Honeycomb proves too rigid and self-serious to make good on Black’s strengths.
-
It is a noble effort, modeled on Bob Dylan’s Blonde on Blonde, but the results are underwhelming.
