Our early reviews are threadbare to say the least. In the spirit of remembering how we got here,
we've left them as they were.
Bossanova
Pixies

'Without the raw energy of Surfer Rosa and cohesiveness of Doolittle, Bossanova is simply a solid album from a remarkable band.'

Without the raw energy of Surfer Rosa and cohesiveness of Doolittle, Bossanova is simply a solid album from a remarkable band. By no means their best work, but an enjoyable listen nonetheless (even if a few tracks do drift by).

I found a lot of Bossanova to be quite forgettable. There is a handful of good tracks, but the album as a whole fails to build up a head of steam. It isn’t bad by any means, though, and certainly merits a listen.

Really my first proper introduction to Pixies and I really enjoyed it. If nothing else there are some amazingly catchy guitar riffs.

The record is a rich and gloriously grubby collage of sounds. It stands somewhere between Pixies and Nirvana, with an added injection of psychedelic rock.

Weezer were unapologetically weird, yet strangely glamorous, which in itself brought a warming message; they showed us that it was cool to be uncool.

A magnificent journey, with tortured themes, fragile vocals, irresistibly groovy basslines, beautifully spacious production, and such a curious closer.
