Here's some interesting Pixies criticism that I've lumped together.

Some of it's rather funny.

I'm kind of surprised, really. I mean, music critics tend to be pretty dumb, but they can usually write fairly well. This guy was just a crappy writer. I mean, what does "shit union" even mean?

him talking about lack of wit? thats rich!!! so, first he has a go at the music but cant find much to say..and what he does say is bollox anyway (i can hum quite a few pixies tunes) so then he starts insulting franks weight? not very accepting is he...maybe he started a band but didnt make it and is anoyed and taking it out on his ex-fave band....anyway, i didnt bother finishing to read it....i wont waste my time...if it makes him happy let him insult the pixies but we see right through him, dont we boys? hehe |

Of course it's pure rubbish, that's why I found it funny- especially the angry Pantera fan- "Who the
Fuck is mark balck".
Btw, I was being more than a huge bit sarcastic with some of MY comments and those flashing signs... Maybe I've been watching a bit too much BrassEye...

Thanks for that Thomas, I'll change it... |

When you have to resort to insulting Frank's weight, you know you're desperate to criticize. Besides, a lot of Steven Wells's comments make absolutely no sense. Do the Pixies really have a lot of yuppie fans? And then there's this:
"And that’s because The Pixies – in common with all the other generic indie bands – like Girls vs. Boys, Ned’s Atomic Dustbin and Teenage Fan Club – were actually incapable of writing songs (per se). So instead they churned out entire albums of vaguely song-sounding cred-muzak."
Um, isn't Muzak usually nothing BUT melody? Not exactly what you'd want to mention when saying the Pixies don't have real tunes.
But hey, Mr. Wells DID give me a new signature!

The first guy sounds like he listened to Doolittle once and never anything else again. No melody? Hello! Listen to fucking Bossonova! That album's chock-full of incredible melodies, as well as Surfer Rosa and Trompe Le Monde. I can see where he's coming from if he just, as I speculate, listened to Doolittle once, but I can guaruntee that if he would simply listen a few more times he'd start to "get it."

Cute way to have us go to your website.

No, it was my bad last night darragh.
I wasn't bothered with someone saying or thinking the Pixies Are Shit.
Just that such material was posted here at an obviously pro- pixies, well Frank site.
It's nice to know there are people out there who think they suck and are over-hyped, that's to be expected.
I just put 2 and 2 together and came up with 4, no 5....that's the one.
Seeing the articles, then the Pixies Are Shit flashin' signs, I presumed you'd put them there darragh, you said you'd grouped all the stuff together yourself.
I so got the wrong end of the stick, for which you have my apologies, d. The most sincerest of sorrys.
Can I lay blame at my stoned brain last night? Because I do. |

Sorry to confuse you FBC, I love the Pixies. I just thought it'd be interesting to put together the thoughts of some Pixies haters. Y'know, just for a laugh... |

Okay.
Didn't mean to be weird Steve the Pixie. Was just confused.
I saw some articles, then flashing Pixies Are Shit signs everywhere.
Was like a subliminal message or something inprinted in my mind.
But it's ok now. I get it. Pixies Are Shit.
