Track selection could've gone about a dozen different ways, since Black has no real hits apart from "Los Angeles" and the blissfully anthemic "Headache". The songs off his stranger early albums play mostly to the middle, focusing on oddball rock tunes like "Ten Percenter", " I Want to Live on an Abstract Plain", and the immortal "Freedom Rock". However, opener "Los Angeles" is about as out-there as this compilation gets musically, with its faux-metal riffage and doom-stricken keyboard bridge.

There are a lot of solid tracks strewn through the disc after "Freedom Song" wraps up the early phase. Dog in the Sand 's "Hermaphroditos", though it sometimes feels like Frank Black trying to live up to being old weird Black Francis, is nevertheless greatly entertaining, with its squeezed-out chorus and freaked-out verses.

Still, some songs are leaden: "I Gotta Move" has an awkward call-and-response chorus; "Velvety", from 's Devil's Workshop , is as close to outright bland as Black gets; and "Manitoba" is a ballad with horns and slide guitar that points the way toward Fast Man Raider Man , with a melody that isn't especially suited to Black's voice. The new song, "Threshold Apprehension", sounds like it may have been inspired by the Pixies reunion-- it's punkier and spazzier than anything he's done in years, coming off almost like a reaction to his mellow Memphis sessions.

Black bleats and squawks his way through it like he might have in , but the sonic character of its dry, straightforward production is closer to what we've grown used to in his work with the Catholics. Still, Teenager of the Year remains the first stop on any tour of Frank Black's solo career, especially for those seeking something closer to his original Pixies flair.
