"Frank Black has earned the right to do whatever the hell he wants, and he unfortunately seems to know it. The man who brought you the Pixies and, by extension, the alternative rock boom of the early 90s. . . ."
http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/b/black_frank/honeycomb.shtml
That's right, The Pixies brought us the alternative rock boom of the early 90s. Forget REM, Dinosaur Jr., Replacements, Husker Du, Galaxie 500, Meat Puppets, Butthole Surfers, Flaming Lips, Mission of Burma, etc. Bow down before The Pixies.
Doolittle's alright, but could a band possibly be more overrated?

Hold on, what's this? I thought the remasters were cancelled because nobody was happy with them? And now I get this mail from bleep.com that links to this:

Do they need remastering? They sound fine to me.
Or LOL maybe they've fixed that pesky LOUD-quiet-LOUD problem they had by mushing it all out with the louderizer.
― Colonel Poo, Friday, 31 August 2007 14:39 (sixteen years ago) link
i certainly think they're overrated and would much rather listen to a great number of bands, even some who supposedly derived their sound from the "wildly influential" pixies.
i had a passing interest in all their records, fished around for a bit, then left them alone. digestible like coca-cola, thin like water crackers.
― Charlie Howard, Friday, 31 August 2007 14:42 (sixteen years ago) link
Hey, me too! They pretty much define overrated for me. And their concerts border on insulting. I'm not asking for jumping jacks, but could you please try to pretend to be the least bit enthusiastic about what you're doing? No? OK, bye.

nice to hear that you concur, sara x 3

Dunno what yr on about. They were good when I saw them x2.

Massively over-rated rent-a-quirkiness.
Listened to "Monkey Gone To Heaven" for the first time in years the other day, and was suprised at how obvious the dramatic construction appears in retrospect. Almost like it was created from a manual called "Dramatic Affect In Rock Music - A Beginners Guide" by S. Ridgway and P. Murphy.
Dud, then.
― PhilK, Friday, 31 August 2007 15:20 (sixteen years ago) link
Effect.
At the time, they were massively classic, though. And I still really like them for that.
― StanM, Friday, 31 August 2007 15:21 (sixteen years ago) link
I bow to that excellent comment, Stan.
― PhilK, Friday, 31 August 2007 15:22 (sixteen years ago) link
still classic
― 6335, Friday, 31 August 2007 17:02 (sixteen years ago) link
Overrated, overplayed, misunderstood - heard Dinosaur Jr. described the other day as a band "influenced by the Pixies". Still classic.
― Bob Standard, Friday, 31 August 2007 17:04 (sixteen years ago) link
i'd rather listen to frank black's 'cult of ray' than any of the pixies records ('cept for 'surfer rosa') these days. for some reason it's considered awful, but i find it to be one of the better things he's been involved with
― Charlie Howard, Friday, 31 August 2007 17:07 (sixteen years ago) link
i mostly listen to 'trompe le monde' and 'bossanova'. even to this day, little things that i've never noticed will pop out at me. those recordings are really lush and deep, i love they way they are mixed. they just keep giving. i also like the frank black s/t
― 6335, Friday, 31 August 2007 17:14 (sixteen years ago) link
Cult Of Ray is not considered awful by me, but it's nowhere near any of the Pixies albums.
Trompe Le Monde is great. I like Surfer Rosa, Doolittle & that about equally.
