"Gouge away" is a G rated version of "Rape Me". The only difference between Nirvana and The Pixies is that The Pixies make it sound exciting while Nirvana makes it sound like agony.

Outlaw: I think that it is a really good album...i understand your question though(what is it so popular), and I think that the answer is that it came out in the 80, a decade that I call the lost decade, what with hair metal bands and crappy "new wave" pop..it was a sign that there was some authentic rock energy still out there in the rock universe and that it hadn't completely gone to crap... that is my opinion, I could be wrong.

Though some songs stand out, there are no noticeable low points--an outstanding album!

I've started to really get into this album recently. I used to think the Pixies were kind of overrated, but now I'm starting to admire them more and more.

I was listening to this album earlier today. Many amazing moments, my favourite being Debaser, Monkey Gun To Heaven and No 13 Baby. But what I don't get is how is this album so highly rated. I'm not saying it's bad, I'm saying I'm surprised something as stark raving bonkers as this has got into the conscious minds of so much people that it occupies position 29 on the overall chart!

classics: debaser, wave of mutilation, here comes your man, and the best pixies song hey. this would be a perfect album if they left out filler songs like silver. best pixies album imo.

This is one of my all time favorites. Both band, and album. Just an absolute brilliant mess.
