But the album that let you down the most was...

INDIE CINDY BY PIXIES

"Unfortunately, Indie Cindy may make you wish the band had left well enough alone. Dubbed an album (not a compilation), the record merely assembles all the tracks from EP1, EP2, and the just released, but long ago leaked, EP3. If you give a damn about Pixies, you’ve heard all of these songs already, and no fresh album art, re-sequencing, or magic conjured up by the letters ‘L’ and ‘P’ placed next to each other is going to change your opinion on them. Either you’ve already banished these songs from your iPod and memory or, like me, set aside that overshadowing back catalog and tried to appreciate Cindy’s redeeming qualities".

St. Vincent was a nominee? 🤔

Odd.

Can't argue the final result though.

St Vincent was the only release I was actually anticipating great things from, and it was a major letdown from a personal standpoint.


Yeah were we really expecting M B V-level work from The Pixies at this stage?
