Breeders "Title TK" -- Thoughts?

also so loud and so sad.

^^ posts of truth

this record sounds so so so perfect

its a strange odd record. i liked it when it came out, havent listened to it in a long time (must dig it out again) and everybody i knew either hated it or was just befuddled by it. its all feel and mood i guess, like 'pod' in that sense. theres no 'cannonball' or 'drivin on nine' here.

'mountain battles' even better i thought

My copy has been stuck in my car's CD player since 2002, so the album's legendary status has only grown.

this record is weird. i love the way it ends Sinister Foxx/Forced to Drive/ T and T/ Huffer are all awesome. don't like much else aside from those and Off You, which is one of the most beautiful things ever.

Off You, with "I am the make-up on your eyes" and whatever that SOUND is (BEYOOOOOO), is classic.

Son of Three always smacks me in the face in the best way

Great album, great band. Mountain Battles is just about as good, but different.
I love the language exercise songs on Mountain Battles.
Was there a tour video released around the time of Title TK?
There's a video for Son of Three (for instance) on youtube and the song is a little faster and uh dirtier, I guess.

this record has some really great songs on it...

kind of surprised to hear haerosmith likes it though...

OFF YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

so good, i kind of never need to hear another Kim Deal song because it's perfect.

i can't even really talk about it anymore

My latest theory is that Title TK distills all the stuff I liked from Pod, and drops all the stuff I hated from Last Splash, which explains the divided response. I'm getting iffier and iffier lately about whether even Pod is better...

for some reason i have never checked the breeders about beyond this album. i love it a lot, but i've heard it's their worst? that's a lot of hype for their other music.

so weird. this album's reception is like an enigma.

Imagine hating on an album that goes from "Off You" to "The She" to "Too Alive"

God this record. Who could ever write and record "Sinister Foxx"? A ticket to the subconscious.

This is still probs my favourite Breeders LP.

How on earth is this thread 16 years old? This album still feels pretty new to me.

hhhas anyone seen...the iguanaaaaaa?

dumb made for fucking

GRINDCORE LITTLE FURY

DUMB MADE FOR FUCKING

I KNOW I WILL HAVE SPUN OUT

Swingerrs

This record is incredible

you get an empty case of whippets and a boyfriend with a beeper

I picked up the 2018 vinyl reissue of this today--felt obligated bc "all wave"--and of course it sounds better than ever. Just an endlessly fascinating album for me, full of weird and wonderful ideas. Today the random bursts of violence on Put On A Side jumped out more than usual. I think Kim Deal has my favorite voice of any human

misery's fun i'm kissing everyone

slipping through the states to find the static yeah, there's something to believe

All time top 5 KD for me (so probably top 10 anyone)
