Teenager of the Year

Rolling Stone (8/25, p.89) - 3.5 Stars - Good - "...an epic collection of 22 powerful songs that often equals--if not surpasses--his best work with the Pixies..." Spin (7/94, p.68) - "...Frank Black's refusenik readymades are the catchiest form of lifelessness around..." Entertainment Weekly (6/3/94, p.60) - "...Black adopts a slightly less sprawling sound but maintains his penchant for turbulent, eclectic pop....Poetic visionary or lovable crackpot? You be the judge...." - Rating: A- Musician (6/94, p.80) - "...Black has loosened up, hunkered down and put together a killer Senior Variety Show....a happy sprawl of an album that holds together even as it offers some wild contrasts....What unifies [TEENAGER OF THE YEAR] is its off-the-cuff wit and warmth--it tumbles along like Black's version of THE BASEMENT TAPES..." NME (Magazine) (5/28/94, p.34) - 8 - Excellent - "...At the very least, the second Frank Black LP is the soundtrack album of the year; can't wait to see the movie..."
