Bluefinger was ace, but this is one of his worst ever - and I should know, I've got about 10 of them. His best solo work is outstanding, better even than the Pixies (I think), but this is lifeless - no strong songs on it at all. Frank Black should learn to edit his output.

I am a huge Frank Black fan but I have to say I was a little disaapointed with this latest outing under the name Black Francis. After being blown away by Seven Fingers and Bluefinger, which both had a high majority of stand out brilliant tracks I couldn't help but feel a little let down by Nonstoperotik. Don't get me wrong it is still a good album but it's just not quite as brilliant as I'm used to. That said, as always with Frank, there may yet be a few tracks that grow steadily on me after the 5th 6th or 7th listens. Frank Black albums can creep up on you in that way, so I'm rating this one a three with the potential to sneak to a four. But, if you want an immediately brilliant rock/punk/alternative listening experience get Bluefinger, or even better Seven Fingers before delving into this one.

After the stunning Bluefinger and Svn Fingrs i found this album profoundly disapointing. Other reviewers have touched on how this is midway between a Frank Black and a Black Francis release. i think i need to disabuse people of this as this CD sounds very much to me like a Frank Black record and not one of the good ones. if u liked the first Catholics effort you'll enjoy this/ if, like me, you hated that record for its MOR pub rock stylings stear clear and just download the 2 outstanding tracks: Corrina and Six Legged Man.

Nonstoperotik by Black Francis
Nonstoperotik proved to be a non-stop disappointment from start to finish. Best keep to the memories of Mr Francis/Black as pioneer songwriter/vocalist of the brilliant Pixies. Read more

Another excellent release from the wild imagination of ex-Pixies frontman Black Francis. Very much in the same vein as 'Bluefinger' this album is full of chaotically beautiful,... Read more
