new Breeders album

Yes. I can agree with most of the review you're linking to. It's simple and pretty. I like Off You best, and the first two songs: Little Fury and London Song. It's always a joy to hear Kim Deal, though I certainly wouldn't hail this album as any essential masterpiece or anything.

dave q and Yancey have!

I saw the new video for what I assume will be the new single on MTV2 Recommends - I really liked it, and was amused to hear that part of the lyrics go "Toilet trouble, toilet trouble". Or perhaps this is me mishearing totally. That's more likely.

I think the songwriting is pretty classic Breeders - very odd, yet strangely catchy and appealing. But I think Albini's production actually hurts the album, his typical spare, no frills sound doesn't really work with the Breeders, who I think need messier, louder, denser production. I prefer the demo version of "Forced to Drive" that I heard to the album version, and the Amps version of "Full on Idle" to the Breeders.
