Charles' masterpiece is 1994's Frank Black solo album Teenager of the Year.
Gatta say, that album changed my life...
I love Teenager of the Year. It _is_ a masterpiece. But, like a lot of great artists, they're not limited to one masterpiece. Doolittle is a masterpiece.
@@NxDoyle everything they put out from 1987 - 1991 is a masterpiece
Head On is a cover of The Jesus and Mary Chain
I’m glad you reacted to this one, their most underrated album for sure. Alec Eiffel is probably my favorite Pixie’s song.... and Bird Dreams of the Olympus Mons, Letters to Memphis, and Motorway to Roswell might be the three prettiest songs they ever wrote. Great album.
Alec Eiffel might be mine too. Amazing
I'd be interested in your take on Frank Black. He goes a lot of places musically, and I think Frank Black (the album), Teenager of the Year, and Dog in the Sand all live up to the Pixies quality-wise.
You so need to listen to the Breeders.
In a similar vein to them are the Throwing Muses
I still listen to ‘Pod’ at least once a month. That album is so good.
And Belly!
Last Splash!!!
And The Amps!
Great review, very insightful... a lot of fans didn't take to Bossanova or Trompe very well!
I want to put in another recommendation for Loveless by My Bloody Valentine, can't believe it's not on here yet!
Yes! Loveless
Bosanova and Trompe would be my favorites, bosanova was my first PIXIES album. I heard Is She Weird and knew I would love everything they did and was right!
I personally don’t like bossanova but trompe le monde is very nice
Great reaction and review! I think you touched on something I love about the Pixies. Four great albums, each with a totally different aesthetic and sound, but retaining iconic aspects of each band member. Such an underrated, unique band
You should do the Frank Black albums, all of them are great !
Just discovered this video! Pixies and Black Francis are the truth! Would love to see you react and review to Frank Black’s solo albums especially his album Teenager Of The Year. That’s got to be my favorite album he has ever made. (Frank Black is Black Francis) realizing how confusing that is lol
My favourite of Frank Black's solo songs is "I Heard Ramona Sing" which I believe has Joey on guitar.
That's a great song for sure.
“I Burn Today” I’m very fond of because it would not fit in on any Pixies album and is just Charles. Great song.
Fiddle Riddle, a great feel good reggae song!
Motorway to Roswell is a very similar song. Several tracks on TLM would fit well on Frank Black’s debut.
This album is frickin infectious....just bangers & earworms thru & thru
This is one of those albums where the first time u hear it, u seems like u already know it...thats rare...i cant even remember the first time i heard it because of that exact phenomena.
Very nice review! _Trompe Le Monde_ tends to be more of a grower, but you can definitely feel the power of it very quickly. It has some great gems for sure.
Great job with these very interesting classic Pixies reviews. That is, indeed, all the studio albums for that era. However, if you haven't heard them yet, and are still reluctant (as I am) to be done with this era, there is a solution. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_%27B%27_Sides
I'd personally feel that this Pixies experience isn't quite complete without them, and I'd love to hear any of your thoughts on the single b-sides. Anything from your first impression opinion to whether you think they fit more with their b-side status or if they should have been on the respective album of the time.
Thanks again for sharing all this with us!
Love your channel bro. U react to so many albums and bands that I love. Keep it up!
This album was my intro to the pixies
Oh, and I really need to mention - You should definitely check out the work of PJ Harvey, if you are not familiar with it already- especially the albums "Rid of Me," "Is this Desire?" and "Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea."
She is the only two-time Mercury Music Prize, I believe, and she also dueted with Nick Cave on the track "Henry Lee" on his "Murder Ballads" album and their relationship ending was a major inspiration behind his album "The Boatman's Call"
The last line of Subbacultcha is, "Y'know, when you grope for luna."
Great album.
Great job again on this review! I went to see one of their concerts in 2007, I believe it was, which was centered on "Doolittle" but surprisingly they lead off with "U-Mass" from this album. I leaped out of my chair so high with excitement I could barely contain myself! My friend thought I had lost it. It was so awesome the perfect touch!
Love your reactions....interestingly Subbacultcha is one of their early tracks (think Surfer Rosa) rather than the last one The Navajo Know.....love all four of these (putting Come On Pilgrim in with Surfer)...
Next one should be Kim's "girlband" The Breeders. They have a similar but unique sound. And Francis first two solo albums are worth to listen
LOVED their debut cd.
Yes! Been waiting for this one.
Please review the new albums! One of them is VERY GOOD. I strongly recommend listening in order. Also, if you can find it, the *vinyl* release for Head Carrier has a slightly better master. That album was butchered in the master, sadly. Indie Cindy and BTE both have nice production, but very different, and Indie Cindy especially is highly polarizing (the controversy over its sound is what led to Head Carrier being badly produced). Also, BTE includes 9 bonus tracks. These bonus tracks are like a 4th album -- they are finished studio versions, despite being called "demos." These are a must listen.
I also recommend that you review the Mother Mother albums! Did you know that Mother Mother's favorite band is Pixies? They cover Gouge Away and Cactus during their live shows. Enjoy!
I dont know if you reviewed Frank Black but I find this last Pixies album transitions right into what he wrote in his solo albums. The guitars and the story telling aspects in the lyrics, and his vocal stylings.
This was the least favorite when it was released but now is the PIxies album that I listen to the most.
This one had to grow on my when it came out.
Their most sophisticated songwriting.
Have loved your PIXIES reactions, you should check out Frank Black (Black Francis) solo stuff. More poppy but still surprising!
Trompe is Pixies Meet Metal. Two reasons why this is true. 1) The album cover features a wing coming off the P. And 2) I read an interview with Charles in which he admitted is was a metal album. Pixies-style metal.
There a film called Loud Quiet Loud about their first comeback tour. Its quite uncomfortable in places but very good
For a song reaction you should check out That's When I Reach For My Revolver by Mission of Burma
Yes! As well as That's How I Escaped My Certain Fate.
I had never heard of them until Graham Coxon covered "That's when I reach for my revolver" on one of his solo albums (great cover by the way) Now one of my favourite songs of all time.
The album has a space theme. The Navajo Know refers to the belief by some that Navajo cave drawings point to extra terrestrial visitors.
hey great stuff. keep checking out their stuff there is much to enjoy. as others have said, the best progression from here is a record called The Complete B Sides, which will fill you in on the key songs and audience favorites from the classic years which weren't released on the albums. A song called Into the White, with Kim on lead vocal is among their very best, and there are lots of great tracks there. Then continue into the early solo/side projects. The first two Breeders records, The Pod and Last Splash, are quintessential Kim Deal. And Black Francis / Frank Black's first two solo projects are very worthy (especially the second one, Teenager of the Year). I would do all of that, and maybe some of their other projects (I am very fond of some of Kim's other records especially), before hitting any of the new-era Pixies material.
The Pixies are still putting out great music - still putting out the same, instantly identifiable vibes that come from no other band.
My absolute fave Pixies album
Trompe le monde was a Return to their roots. Much closer to Surfer Rosa. Great Album well reviewed.
Head carrier is a nice album too
just a random recommendations, sleeping at last: earth, mars, and neptune
response to your doubt as to Francis screaming, I can say this: yes, that's Francis screaming. I've seen the Pixies _and_ Frank Black live on several occasions and he's producing that scream. I don't know what his secret is, my voice would be shot after screaming like that. If you want to see Charles/Francis screaming live: ua-cam.com/video/BzA3eCHI2nsI/v-deo.htmln
Before you head into the more recent Pixies albums (without Kim) don't forget the single they released in 2004, Bam Thwok - the last Pixies recording with Kim, and written and sung by her.
Also, Palace of the Brine is the only song ever written (that I'm aware of) that is about sea monkeys.
@@daveangel2991 they also covered Warren Zevon's "Ain't That Pretty at All" in 2004. Both Charles and Kim sing on it. It was released after Bam Thwok on a tribute album.
epic
“Head On’ is a cover of a The Jesus and Mary Chain song. You should check them out. Start with ‘April Skies’.
So, you HAVEN'T listened to The Breeders' 'Last Splash?' You're right about Kim; the ethereal sweetness of her voice (particularly in counterpoint to Charles's vocal athletics) is unmatched. It almost makes you wish that she had a twin sister with whom she formed a band ...
Trompe is basically Frank Black’s first solo album. This and his eponymous first album could be a double album.
I love Bird Dream, probably my favorite song by them.
pls Siamese Dream
A beautiful record. Motorway to Roswell is one of their finest. By the by, the wing on P is a clue to the fact that Charles wanted to make a 'Pixies does metal' record. And he succeeded.
They are definitely Francis' aka Charles' screams. And I have no doubt that he had some anger going on. The band was coming apart. Kim had made Pod and it was great, she was drifting away, she was drinking and she was the fans' goddess. Kim was underutilized on Bossanova and Trompe, and much of that had to do with Charles' control and resentment.
letter to memphis is the best song on this album 😤
Most underrated Pixies song
You should react to some janes addiction
Hej hej
You should react and listen to jack stauber if j had to choose any songs it would be (oh klahoma, buttercup, and today today)
Also i love the video your reactions and commentary on the music is just perfect
Keep it up bro
OK, it's not that you compared "Distance Equals Rate Times Time" to Hendrix's version of "All Along the Watchtower." It's that it's 100% valid.
Hey, I love your videos! I know you’ve already reacted to Tally Hall, but could you react to Spring and a Storm or Hymn for a Scarecrow?
The first few Frank Black albums are also definitely worth a listen. I love Pixies but I prefer his Teenager of the Year -album to anything pixies did. Lots of songs, all of them are at least good. The pixies comeback albums you should definitely skip though.
I agree!!!!
I actually really like Indie Cindy, but the other two are not good.
Yeah Teenager of the Year I think can hang with the Pixies best albums.
I don't think any of his solo material is in the same ballpark as Pixies, tbh. Although Teenager is his best solo work (because it sounds the most like Pixies).
The three new Pixies albums are very rich, they explore all styles, while finding the unique style of the band. Of course they are not masterpieces like the first ones, but they are invaluable gifts for anyone who loves rock music.
I came to the Pixies with Bossanova, worked back through their other albums and was hugely disappointed by this Album, despite a few highlights
Obra maestra
Pixies and Throwing Muses were my favorite bands for most of the 90s. But now, Modest Mouse blows everything away from that period. You're right; Trompe did sound angry compared to the earlier albums. I like the later releases and I have to wonder how Beneath the Eyrie would rank if it had been released 30 years ago.
Oh hell yeah...no one reacts to this shit....this is what i needed, this was meant to be....im so bored im lost and in sleep/wake limbo
