    Nothing bad...just nothing really exciting, either. Sort of jazz-like, which I wasn't really expecting.

  1. Honeycomb is steeped in tradition, yet manages to buck it at the same time; while not all Pixies and Frank Black fans will appreciate its mellow maturity, it's an intimate treat for those who follow its lead.

    Compared with the Pixies, this is conservative and gentlemanly. [Aug 2005, p.109]

    Black's take on Southern soul: spare, graceful, in the pocket, with Black himself sounding reborn and relaxed. [22 Jul 2005, p.78]
