I simply love this album. Every track is good in its own way, but my favorites are Where Is My Mind?, Broken Face, Bone Machine and Gigantic. One of the best albums from the 80s and one of the best albums ever in my opinion.

I think this can be as good as Doolittle. I love the tracks Vamos and Broken Face. This is one of the greatest 80s alubums in my opinion.

I preferred Doolittle and Bossanova myself. Gigantic is a great song

I almost like this album more than Doolittle. I'm not sure though. Both are great albums!

Best track: Gigantic

The Pixies have created one giant mess here that is cleaned up by jock slapping humor and nails being smashed into a coffin by sledge hammer. There's nothing quite like it. Well before its time!

Good things about this album: Amazing songs like River Euphrates and Gigantic makes you feel like a little kid. This album is full of poetry and art. Bad things about this album: Well, sometimes they sound like clowns attempting to do some noise with music instruments. The first time i heard this album it really disappointed me, but now i'm finally understanding it.
