Frank Black - 93-03

These be the (solo) Frank Black songs I'd heard before: "Los Angeles" and "Man of Steel" - both of them naggingly tuneful and memorable, and solid 9/10 songs (ie, very very good). This best of, though, is only so-so - it's very uneven, and there are relatively few highlights, scattered at intervals. "Headache" is fun, but generally I like the cruisier, more melodic ones more ("You Ain't Me", "I Don't Want To Hurt You", "All My Ghosts", "Bad Harmony" & ors)...in any case, definitely more good than bad, if not thrillingly so.
