I've read a lot of reviews of Frank Black: 93-03 recently, and a lot of them suggest that his solo output was pretty much a wasteland between TEENAGER OF THE YEAR and DOG IN THE SAND. This is, of course, bollocks. When the real story of his career is written, many years hence, I'll stick my neck out and predict that the eponymous first Frank Black and The Catholics album is re-evaluated as something of a power pop classic.
So there.
