Rating: - A Must Have for Breeders fans
This 1995 release by Kim Deal was a gem to discover. Breeders fans will appreciate the musical history imbued within its facets, as it foreshadows things to come. Simply put, it is well worth the money if you are into the Breeders on any level, at a minimum just to experience Tipp City, Full on Idle and Empty Glasses.

Rating: - This album just jives with me
I'm not a Pixies fan; Pod and Title TK didn't float my boat. Last Splash is one of my favorite albums ever. I considered trying out Pacer with low expectations due to the poor ratings I've seen on different sites. I was pleasantly surprised and love it just as much as Last Splash. It's laid-back with an ah-shucks bashful grin and grinning boisterousness. I can't believe I enjoy this album so much when many seem to be saying the album's no big deal. It just makes the album more special to me.

"She's a girl" is equally as brilliant, Kim Deal kickin ass.
"Bragging Party" is womby and hypnotic, although indistinguishable lyrics make it hard to sing along.

Personally, I don't care much ... Read More

It's raw garage... pop. Not quite rock, but deep indiepop, with bits of rock and punk mixed in. It was recorded in a minimalist style, with sunny pop suddenly seguing into the rockin' "Tipp City," where the tempo ... Read More
