This review is from: SVN FNGRS (Audio CD)
frank blacks post pixies releases have been a little hit and miss, but this is a quality mini album with several possible future classic FB tracks.
"The Sues" - a bonkers little verse riff and crackers vocal morphing into a delicate chorus... good track "Garbage Heap" - yes the track that could have been from the bossanova sessions. it's a good track "Half Man" - got that early frank black solo albums feel to it. good track "I Sent Away" - urgent little punky track.. weakest track on the album in my opinion even with the harmonica solo! "Seven Fingers" - a little bit of upbeat country but with the usual frank black touch of class. great little song and one of the 2 best tracks on the album "The Tale of Lonsome Fetter" - good little track this. nice descending riff. sets up nicely... "When they come to murder me" is a purely awesome song and the best track on here. great verse and strong chorus. this is the sort of simple feeling track that encourages you to write songs yourself, but then breaks your heart when you realise that this kind of quality is hard to match... i would make it clear here that i'm not the biggest fan of frank blacks "country" albums and prefer his noisy stuff... odd then my fav 2 tracks on here are the more country styled ones... anyone. either buy it or get it from emusic if you do that sort of thing. either way a great cd

AMAZING,

Once again, after the glorious return of Black Francis last year, he comes up with another great album.
7 songs and 20 minutes - that's really all it takes for him to leave a huge impression on the listener. As with 2007s Bluefinger, 7 fingers is a coherent collection of songs, and the digital control on the CD player is best left untouched. However, if I am forced to pick one song, it must be the last one, "When The Come To Murder Me". Fantastic melody and great lyrics. Buy this album now and be amazed!

An incredibly addictive 20 odd minutes,

I ask anyone remotely considering purchasing this mini album to part with their cash asap, it really is a brilliant example of how genius needn't be overelaborate and self endulgant. Simple sounding, yet I defy most to inspire such emotive feelings without sounding like they're trying too hard; I suppose another example would be the White Stripes. Anyway I highly recommend this and like others I agree that the last track is probably the best, it's been my favourite for the past few listens.
