    This album is by no means bad, but what a disappointment that it sounds just like "Last Splash". You'd think some kind of musical growth would have taken hold by now. As a result, it's already out of my rotation. It was fun while it lasted (all four days). Next time, Kim, try less hammer and more divine. Or even more Josephine: her vocal on "Metagoth" was one of the few surprises.

    While the title track's big-hearted buildup channels the crew's establishing alt-pop buoyancy, new ideas stagger the 11 tracks. Monolithic "MetaGoth" and smoky ballad "Walking With a Killer" work through internal frustrations, eloquently tracking out a new era for the Breeders.

    All Nerve is not in the same league as Last Splash, but it is an exhibition of a band with alarmingly strong musical chemistry making relevant music--and enjoying doing so--a quarter of a century on from their most notable landmark.
