Review
You gotta love The Pixies. No other band achieved a status quite as cult or as cool as Black Francis and his cohorts did in their late 1980s/early 90s heyday. But five albums in as many years and constant touring did for their enthusiasm: when they folded in early ’93, it seemed like they were lost to us.
Years later, it became apparent they had somehow achieved more after they broke up than when they were together. Their influence was massive, not least on Nirvana, who admitted to having based their breakthrough hit, Smells Like Teen Spirit, on their quiet/loud dynamic.
