Shoot you straight here: These are three albums released in three consecutive years by a little indie rock band out of Boston.They came. They conquered. Then they dissipated into the thin air.
The Pixies are a billion times bigger than they actually are. They have a greatest hits records without any hits. They can play medium-sized venues without being popular. They are rock stars despite the fact that most can't name the lead guitarist and drummer and the lead singer is an overweight guy with a bald head.
The Pixies defy all logic and expectations. They are probably the only group to have a hiatus at the peak of their popularity and break up for 11 years after opening for U2.
They can't get a song on the radio, they are unaccessible to a majority of people and they're grumpy as hell. Still, they are the Pixies and I dare anyone to listen to these three unremarkably remarkable records and not think that they don't have any value.
