You must be kidding... aren't you???


To me the first half of the song is almost unlistenable. The vocals just get on my nerves. It's like he's just screaming for the sake of it, and not because it actually adds anything to the song. The second half is beautiful though.

agree!! second half is nice, first half a little ridicolous but kind of funny if you think about it

You´re going to kill me, but i don´t like too much debaser, altought I think it´s not a bad song. On the other hand, the weakest song of the pixies for me is sliver.

I (mikaelp75 hijacking Lauras computer) have never liked Palace Of The Brine, Dig For Fire, Tony's Theme, Rock-A-My Soul or Build High. And I got tired of Vamos very quickly after instantly liking it.

Silver is the only song I don't like by them because for me I find that song dreary and uninventive. I'm not that keen on Stormy Weather either because I think its a bit of a throwaway. Apart from those two I feel Black Francis has written very few songs that can be justified as "fillers"

Agreed on "Silver." Couldn't disagree more, though, on "Stormy Weather," especially played live. I never want that song to end when I have it on.


Please pardon me, for these my wrongs.

Another song I've just thought of that doesn't really do it for me is 'Make Believe'. I'm just not too keen on Dave singing.

Actually, I love Dave's crooning on La la Love You!

I am going to have to go with Tony also; it doesn't help that I got my but kicked by an older kid in grade school who was named Tony.

The only Pixies album I still enjoy is Trompe le Monde. I tend to think it's actually the first Black Francis solo album.

an undisclosed number of visitors can't be wrong

I always thought "Make Believe" didn’t sound like a Pixies track, even a B-Side, and I’m not saying that because of David’s singing.
Generally speaking, B-Sides from Bossanova’s singles are amongst the weakest tracks of the group (except "Santo" of course).
