Universal acclaim- based on 16 Ratings

  • Summary: A comeback of sorts, 'Title TK' comes a full nine years after The Breeders' previous effort (1993's 'Last Splash') and sees the group with a new lineup (only Kim Deal and sister Kelley remain) and producer (Steve Albini).
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 14 out of 19
  2. Negative: 0 out of 19
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. There'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.
  4. Title TK isn't awful, but it's too zoned out to draw you in. [Jun 2002, p.71]

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

    If I could give it a negative score, I would. Could not believe how badly this sounds. I would have tossed it out of my car window if it weren't littering. Don't waste your time! Expand
