Agree that the first two albums are essential but other later stuff had excellent moments.<br /><br />Despite the fact Kim wont be in the line-up, I have got myself a ticket to see them in December for the reason that the Glasgow Barrowlands is tailor made for them.JChttp://www.thenewvinylvillain.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408194908462305523.post-52884392866531724542016-10-18T09:21:03.556+01:002016-10-18T09:21:03.556+01:00I quite like Trompe Le Monde.I quite like Trompe Le Monde.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14276225055177847555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408194908462305523.post-54036951566573566052016-10-18T09:13:16.700+01:002016-10-18T09:13:16.700+01:00Both 'Indy Cindy' and 'Head Carrier...Both 'Indy Cindy' and 'Head Carrier' may be patchy affairs, but the good moments are very good.The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408194908462305523.post-38945909277134753622016-10-18T08:40:58.208+01:002016-10-18T08:40:58.208+01:00I said it when the last album came out - the curre...I said it when the last album came out - the current Pixies simply cannot be expected to be the same Pixies of 1989. Even if they'd never broken up in the first place, and even if Kim was still in the band, the new album would still sound nothing like 'Doolittle'. Nothing could ever sound like 'Doolittle'.<br /><br />From that point, 'Head Carrier' is actually not a bad record. It's not great, but it's better than most things I've heard this year. You're absolutely right that "nothing meets the standards they set in 1988 and 1989" - but no artist since then has ever met those standards (for me anyway), so I'm not going to hold it against Pixies.TheRobsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18277941961790844321noreply@blogger.com
