Skeletal, fragmented, stumblebum, Kim and Kelley retain their knack for righting themselves with a tuneburst just when you thought they'd never do the limbo again.
-
80There's a lot of empty space in these songs, the better to focus on Kim and Kelley's up-front vocal harmonies and classically off-kilter lyrical ideas.
-
It's the sound of experimentation working, it's what what the second Elastica album should have sounded like, and it's a compelling story unfolding, with many more interesting twists still to come.
-
80Sounds like the product of a sloppy but inspired band enjoying the straightforward art of making a noise. [Jun 2002, p.114]
-
It blends the stripped-down sounds of Pod and the Amps' Pacer into a collection of strangely intimate, feminine garage rock.
-
80Title TK sounds as if nothing happened since Last Splash.
-
80That's another thing about the present incarnation of the Breeders: they sound, somehow, a lot more . . . oh . . . credible than the last version.
-
After repeated listens, Title TK congeals into a beautiful little slice of fuzz-rock-pop.
-
74Title TK picks up where Pod left off in 1989, with a jagged sound nowhere near as tight as the Pixies' but a heartfelt enthusiasm for creating music.
-
70Not necessarily a fantastic album then, but a great excuse for a record, nonetheless.
-
This is hot, scratchy, burdened un-rock, and one horribly sad album.
-
70The tight, buzzing guitars and chugging rhythm section have been deconstructed--subdued, even. [#54, p.78]
-
70A languorous, mid-paced affair that eschews visceral assault and pop nous for a raw, prowling, feline angularity. [June 2002, p.108]
-
The thrill evaporates as one monotonous tune drones into the next. [24 May 2002, p.94]
-
Title TK isn't awful, but it's too zoned out to draw you in. [Jun 2002, p.71]
-
The experimentation of tracks like "Off You" and "Put on a Side" show that Kim Deal and co. aren't concerned with reproducing past success, but also shows that they are entirely capable of producing the same interesting song structures and pop pleasures that we have come to expect.
-
40Unfortunately, the songs on Title TK are mostly half-written train wrecks. [Jun/Jul 2002, p.103]
-
40No matter how much frenetic energy is exuded, Title TK fails to ignite The Breeders' former fire. [May 2002, p.108]
-
Title TK comes off as unglued in an almost perversely restrained, even uneventful way.

BenjaminBunny7I would venture to say that "Off You" is the most beautiful song of Deal's career. A laid-back, lonely, lovely record.
