This forum was just brought to my attention when somebody noticed my Frank Black & Pixies album review pages, and suggested I introduce myself. I thought posting a link to those reviews would be as good a way as any. Feel free to mail me directly if you wish to add comments to any of the pages. Thanks.

| Is Bossanova an underrated album amongst Pixies fans and the critics?? Personally I reckons its better than than Doolittle, although I guess all the Pixies albums are amazing. I saw a program about the Pixies where the announcer said that by the time Bossanova came out you could tell that they had had their day... Fuck that, Bossanova is a cracking album, and so is Trompe Le Monde (even though it is in my opinion the weaker out of the albums). |

| Yes, I totally agree. It REALLY annoys me that in every single Pixies retrospective, they make the first 3 out to be physical perfection (which they very well might be) but then they always say bad things about Bossanova and Trompe. This is so dated, I find that a lot of "original" fans (i.e. people who were into the Pixies when those albums came out) find those albums dissapointing, but every person i play them to (my friends are generally teenagers/early 20s) are always very impressed. |

| Bossanova was the first Pixies I heard. I only bought the first two albums after I had 'Doolittle', 'Trompe' and 'Bossanova' - and they just didn't blow me away like the other albums did, and still do. |

| A Canadian friend of mine recorded me a tape of stuff she was listening to, which included a few Pixies songs. There were about 5 songs in all, 3 from Bossanova and 2 from Doolittle. On the strenth of the songs that I heard I went out and brought Bossanova and thought it was the best album that I had heard in a long time (even though I'd seen Doolittle ranked in the top 100 albums of all time (BBC poll I think)). Then Doolitte followed, although I have to admit that I like Bossanova much more (although there are no songs which compare to Gouge Away). Surprisingly enough, the album I bought last and took me longer to get into was Surfer Rosa.... for some reason at first I didn't really like it, but now it is probably my favourite Pixies album. |
