Yes! "Teenager of the Year" is a way underrated album.
There's an insane number of songs on that record too.
I think that if Black had cut out a few of the tunes that were only "pretty damn cool" instead of "amazing" it may have gone down as one of the best straight-ahead rock albums of the 90s.
Who knows? Maybe in some accounts it still will.
There are so many good songs on that record. I mean, "Abstract Plain"? C'mon: Phantasmal.

Been setting recording aside for awhile, and the spending on that sport saved I've put into a couple nice stereo pieces and speakers.
All used, all killer!
Anyway, this relates to Frank in that I've been cuing up some of the material I hadn't spent much time with for whatever reason, and digging it! The guy is just spilling sophistication and grace on Honeycomb, and if your in the mindset to receive, well it's quite powerful. Also picked up a couple more Frankobilia pieces.
(one even has the TapeOp logo..)
