It's Wimmen Week!

Kim Deal's side project that was bigger than the Pixies, the Breeders rock pretty hard. There's a lot of distortion, pell-mell drumming, and buzzy riffs that come in waves. Unfortunately, there's also some of that droning, lo-fi stuff that was so big in the '90s and which I just can't get my rock 'n' roll brain to admire. So while this is a strong album, and the high points are great, I think there are also some skippable tracks. So I simply don't find myself as enthused about it as I might be, as a whole album. I want to say three and a half stars? At the moment of writing, anyway. Favorite tracks: "Cannonball," "Invisible Man," "Drivin' on 9," Divine Hammer."
