Juan Mitchell
TOTY > Trompe le Monde > FB
3 great ones in a row then he kinda lost me after Cult of Ray
Ryder Ortiz
Archers of LOAF syndrome
Him and Eric Bacchman both decided to stop screaming and make middle of the road adult contemporary esque music instead of quirky indie hard hitting indei rock

His later stuff was never rocking enough for me tastes in favor of more folky stuff. I think I’ve heard one or two of the FB & The Catholics albums was decent what’s a good song from that era to start with?

TOO MUCH!!!!
The first half is excellent. Beautiful guitar tones (especially a few tunes with gorgeous surf-ballad lead guitar lines) combine with slightly more prevalent keys (than on the first album, I mean) to highlight what appears to be an unceasingly on-the-money sense of melodic innovation.
You hear tunes like "Headache" and "(I Want To Live On An) Abstract Plain" and think to yourself, "Wow! If Paul McCartney were a bit manlier and liked playing songs in 6/7 time, this is what it would sound like!!" But by track 13 or 14, a numbing reality sets in - Frank isn't by any means perfect. He just enjoys playing chord sequences that he's never heard anybody play before. On the upside, this gives us wonderfully erratic songscapers like the entire Pixies catalog.
Down on the upside, this gives us the second half of Peenager Of The Empty Vee Degeneration, which is made up of track after track after track of empty-minded A's to F's to G's to R's to Q's with no real thought put into what makes a song special as opposed to simply forgettable. 22 tracks, over an hour long. A good 66.6666666666666666666666% of it is typically excellent, but the rest is TOO MUCH OF A MEDICOCRE THING!

Cameron Green
Very true. Recent Pixies songs are mind-blowingly mediocre. One of the biggest dips in quality for any band ever.
Brandon Brooks
Has any rock band who was good in the 80s and 90s still been good 30+ years later?
William Torres
Prefab Sprout released one of their best albums in 2006.
Also Slowdive's most recent album was pretty good.
Adam Smith
WRONG

it'd be much higher if he had found a better lead guitarist or kept joey on everything
ive been listening to the current pixies podcast about the recording of their new album and charles seems to let the guitarist do whatever the fuck they want, at least he does with joey.
joey does the lead after the charles rhythm guitar and guide vocal is in, and charles isnt there during joeys sessions
