Trompe Le Monde by The Pixies

Trompe Le Monde is in my opinion the best Pixies album, but in pretty much everybody else's opinion the worst. Maybe it's the nostalgia factor, since I heard it first of all their albums, and still have the tape floating around somewhere in this apartment next to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles original motion picture soundtrack. Whatever the case may be, it's a great album, if a little angrier and sloppier than their others. I feel like with a little work I could work in a great "your mom" joke there, but I've been grading standardized tests all day so cut me some slack.

Doolittle by The Pixies

After getting "Wave Of Mutilation" stuck in my head endlessly from playing Rock Band I decided I had better listen to this whole album for a change instead of just "Monkey Gone To Heaven." Anyways, it's pretty good, what do you want? Everybody knows the Pixies are soooo influential, yeah yeah yeah. This is a good album, it has guitars, Frank Black yells a lot, Kim Deal sometimes sings backup. The best song is still "Monkey Gone To Heaven." To wrap up, this album was recorded twenty years ago I am so old.
