Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Although a lot has obviously changed in the world of music in over the last 10- years, Title TK sounds as if the Breeders got stuck in a time machine after their generation-defining mega-hit album Last Splash, and booked themselves into the same sessions that bore Pod way back in 1990.

Yes, the Breeders have regressed a bit, but as fans of Pod will agree, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Title TK is a wilfully sloppy taste of the 1990s indie revival that is, inevitably, just around the corner. Recorded by Steve Albini using analogue technology, it features the Breeders’ trademarks: fuzzy guitars and the virtually indistinguishable lazy harmonies of sister-duo Kim and Kelly Deal, as well as an enviable command of pop, especially on "Huffer", "Son of Three" and "Full On Idle" (all of which clock in under three minutes each). Meanwhile, sparer songs like "Sinister Foxx" and "The She" ("You move so slow/you’re not even here") practically define the word "slacker" (but, you know, in the Generation-X sense).

It’s an entertaining piece of retro-pop culture, a relic of a time when young men in charity-shop cardigans strode the earth like titans. Maybe it’s an anachronism, but it’s an entertaining one. --Robert Burrow



CD Description

'Title TK' is the third album from The Breeders, it followson from their 1993 album 'Last Splash'. With Steve Albini as principal engineer, it was recorded, edited, mixed, and mastered using only analog equipment. Combines melodic indie-pop, with aggressive low-fi punk. More abrasive and confrontational than 'Last Splash', although the influences of GuidedBy Voices, and The Pixies are still evident.

4.0 out of 5 stars Be glad they're back, 22 May 2002
Nine years on since their last album, TitleTKs sound remains resolutely fixed in the era that produced the definitive Last Splash. While the latter was imbued with a feeling of warm, voluptuous, and happy optimism, TitleTK is however a far more steely and stripped affair, shot through with a rugged confidence that nevertheless retains much of the bands defining traits. Ragged and buzzing guitars stop and start while drums carry time, and the Deal sisters voices sound at once both angelic and god-forsaken, if not completely identical at times.

I think this is an excellent record. There's a generous smattering of some of the beautifully languid melodies any previous fan would hope for - 'Off You', 'Too Alive', 'Forced to Drive' as well as the unmistakable Breeders sound of headlong guitar rushes that new listeners might more readily be captivated by - 'Son of Three', 'Huffer', and again 'Forced To Drive', a stand out track in my opinion.

As an album it hangs together well, perhaps even moreso than its predecessor, if only for its more clipped length, but it's clear that the intervening years has done nothing to diminish the Deal sisters' way with a catchy tune. Definitely darker and more ill at ease sounding, but that's never been a bad thing.

4.0 out of 5 stars A welcome return, 7 Jun 2002
By A Customer
I bought this CD with as much trepadation as anticipation - what could one expect after a nine year absence?? Well, I'm glad to say that one can expect a great album packed full of gorgeous riffs and tunes. It's got a darker tone to it than previous records, and can only be fully appreciated after a couple of listens, but if you want to know what real music is then Kim Deal is the lady for you! From the opening call-and-reply of the barely distinguishable twins on Little Fury, to the utter divine beauty Off You (the line "I am the scarlet in the Autumn, I am the make-up on your eyes"!), through to the punky, catchy Son of Three and Huffer, this is an essential part of any album collection. Some may say its not as good as Last Splash, but it's still going to be a hell of a lot better than 90% of the records in your collection...........

5.0 out of 5 stars Best album of 2002, 9 Dec 2004
By Michael Scott (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This was my favourite album of 2002 and I still love it. It's very different to The Breeders' previous album Last Splash. Nowhere near as poppy and fun, it has a more mature feel, and there's only really one track on the album that in any way harks back to 1993, and that comes near the end of the album. But that doesnt matter because what you get instead in just incredible. There are no duff tracks on this album at all, each one is expertly performed and produced and what makes it special is they all come together so well to give the album a great sense of completeness.
