The songs just don't hit for me.

Those first 3 songs are killer. What the hell, Spenno.

yeah, the first three are up there with their best work.

Listening to the demos right now, they rule.

Please Dont Go is brilliant. Also Hey Debussy is classic Pixies.

This band rules so hard.

Beneath the Eyrie top 5:

1. Long Rider
2. On Graveyard Hill

I love love love both On Graveyard Hill and Catfish Kate. Also St. Nazaire, Daniel Boone and Death Horizon....i got super into Please Dont Go and Hey Debussy last night..

I think the album hits a bit of a skid early with This Is My Fate > Ready For Love, but they might be growers. The singles are obviously brilliant, and David Boone > Death Horizon is a lovely closing sequence.

I agree with This Is My Fate and Ready For Love being kinda weak, and yes, they also might be growers. I think most of the demos are better songs though.

The extras are great, especially 'Hey Debussy'. The "just give me the album and nothing more" crowd are out of their damn minds.

Hey Debussy is fucking great.

I listened when it was new, and I really, really couldn't get into it.

Maybe I'll try again soon.
Please try again
OK, so I did.

I gave up after the first three songs and put on Trompe le Monde instead.

Whatever elements work for me on the original records are just totally absent.

This made in interested in also listening to it for the first time. Now also three songs in I feel the same. It's not bad but I also absolutely do not care about it at all. The only Pixies I really love is the first two, though.

Yeah, Bossanova and TLM are a bit hit and miss, but I still like them and the high points are just as good as anything they ever did.

I bet you jabronis haven't even heard Long Rider.

Birds in Hell · Post by **Birds in Hell** » Fri February 19, 2021 7:24 am

I just did, and it's no (say) River Euphrates.

I will say I liked a couple of songs on Indie Cindy, especially Blue-Eyed Hexe. That's a legitimately good Pixies song.

Ello Sailor · Post by **Ello Sailor** » Fri February 19, 2021 1:44 pm

'Greens and Blues' is probably their best post-Kim song.

VinylGuy · Post by **VinylGuy** » Fri February 19, 2021 1:47 pm

yeah thats a great one but i also love Bagboy from that album...still, i prefer the last album over Indie Cindy.

Come On Pilgrim came out 34 years ago, Spenno. I'd say they're doing pretty well. And by pretty well, I mean better than 99% of artists who've been at it for over three decades.

Oh, for sure.

I'm certainly glad they're still making a go of it, and Dave Lovering (for example) isn't scraping by in some boring job.

I just don't like the records they're making now.

Indie Cindy is the superior record, but I am still totally on board for a post-Covvie tour. I was meant to see them in May!

VinylGuy · Post by **VinylGuy** » Sun February 21, 2021 3:33 am

yeah, i want to see them again too.

Daniel Boone is so beautiful. Those guitars man...
