The first half of this album is sublime - ranks right up there with Doolittle - it kind of peters away a little bit, but still one of my overall favourites - love All Over The World
Underrated.
Some songs are great and others are forgettable
my favourite pixies album, smooth and flawless.
After the twin titans of Surfer Rosa and Doolittle, Bossanova seems like a disappointment. Not as consistently brilliant. There's some definite star tracks, but some filler and some awkward tracks as well. Maybe they set the bar too high?
Pretty disappointing compared to "Doolittle" and "Surfer Rosa", but still a good album. The sound of many of the songs is quite different to the first three Pixies releases, and seems Stone Roses-inspired (but I'm probably wrong).
People seem to think of this as Nirvana's Incesticide.(that's actually the one that got me into Nirvana). But I think this is an incredibly fun album. Track two is hard on the ears, but the rest is amazing.
It's not their best, but it's still better than most other albums, and I think it is easily the best of 1990.
This is a good album, but is weak when we think about what Pixies used to give us. Is She Weird is my favorite track.
Not my favorite by a long shot thought it was quite week at the time I'm digging for fire been a prime example. Check out the debut album from Frank Black that he recorded after Trompe Le Monde. Joey Santiago is on it so it has some of the low down grinding guitar work of the Pixies on it and some good sing along tunes.
