Only the picture implies
that it was a 'new' story
it is in fact
based on old interviews
and most of the quotes
are from
the dvd

VERY VERY BAD ARTICLE
it also downplays
bossanova and trompe

for me
it's the story of the reunion
the downplaying
never heard it before
and suddenly
damn!

'Oor' magazine gave a bad review
to Doolittle (1989) and a great review
to Bossanova (1990)
apparently nobody of that time works
for the magazine anymore
because
they totally
shifted now
they love doolittle
and kinda hate bossanova
but say it is at least better than
Trompe le Monde
which was really bad
according to them
The great mojo article of a few years ago
said that Trompe Le Monde was arguably their best
I agree with them

I suppose it depends on what you like about the Pixies, but I always thought "Trompe Le Monde" was the most engaging of all the albums. It's so desperate to be liked and rocks so hard...

Like Surfer Rosa with a doctorate.

you're right
but
don't you think it's a bit
stupid to say
that after Doolitle it was obviously down hill for the pixies?

I can't tell you how pissed off I get when people poo-poo the last two albums. These are the people who want 5 Surfer Rosa or Doolittle clones, and refuse to try new food, and never travel out of state, and wish the Beatles never left the Cavern Club, etc etc etc. Fuck them.

I reckon Bossonova was the most complete album, each track complemented each other and it worked well as a whole. It was their most intelligent album and had a good overall 60s pop meets sci-fi feel. If you listen to individual tracks it loses the effect. Play it straight through and fall in love with it. The three albums before Bossonova were chocked full of singles and great individual tracks. I think Trompe Le Monde tried to hark back to the early albums, but the songs weren't as strong and that is why it is often canned. Havalinna is the most criminally overlooked Pixies song in my humble opinion.

I think it's funny that everybody celebrates this band, and yet it's only cool to like one, maybe two of their five records. That's dumbs. I mean, it's all subjective. Some people don't like the glossy production or UFO stuff or lack of Kim's singing. Other people latch onto the last two albums for those very same reasons. I like it all, so it's hard to pick them apart.

And Helmut, I'm totally with you on Havalina - that song kills me.

Put me in the camp that gets pissed everytime Trompe gets dumped on. It's a great F'ing disc. The gouge documentary went way overboard on this.

I am also in the fuck them camp as well.

OOR Magazine is decadent and depraved.
