Reviews (page 14 of 14)
i was obsessed with where is my mind? in high school but i had never listened to this album in full. after listening to it a couple times through, i just couldn’t get into it unfortunately. i’ll probably give it another try at some point. but for now… not my favorite.
Never been into rock so this album is a bunch of noise and screaming to me. Dnf.
Nope
this is honestly unlistenable for me. his voice is so painful i can’t listen to the rest 😭 1/10 (only 1/10 bc of where is my mind)
Happy that I listened to this, because if I truly have to listen to all of these albums before I die, then the rest of my life will be blissfully and cognizantly void of this album.
This misses the mark for me unfortunately.
I’m sure it’s somebody’s thing. Just not mine
Not huge on the pixies
Not good at all.
Not really sure how to describe this. I'd never heard any Pixies tracks before and after this I won't be seeking any out in future. Musically mostly fairly easy to listen to but also relatively simple - repeating chords and simple drums. The vocals are where I gave up. Just too weird for me. The lyrics didn't make any kind of sense and the singing style was just too strange.
There's not a single song on this album that I would not skip.
minus one point to my personality for not liking this album :/
It sounds like the few band students you knew in high school got together to make an official band but they lost their lead singer and the guitarist became the vocalist. At least it has tits on the album cover, it gets +.001 stars for that.
Would give it a 0 if I could. Terrible songwriting and awful performances. Where is my mind is a good song but the rest is downright insulting. Actually have me a headache.
I've heard bands that I like say Pixies were an influence.....couldn't possibly be from this album.
Terrible. 1/5.
Interesting listen. I wouldn't listen to this again. Fuck this album.
Post punk average rock
One great song, but did not like the album at all.
Did not like at all
Not for me
dogshit
One good song
God, I hate the Pixes.
Alternative rock. I didn’t like it. I didn’t like the vocalist, didn’t like how noisy it was.
Bleh.
Too much unnecessary yelling and profanity in some of the songs. Did not care for the music.
Not my music and the vocals are not great.
Absolutely not my style. 1 star.
Got about half way through so better than some
Musically, I like the sound. But I really am not a fan of the singers or the lyrics. I'm sure there is a historical reason they are on this list of must-hear music. But without a music history lesson. It's tough to listen to.
1/5
Gratingggggg - except for Where Is My Mind? which is good, of course.
I guess people like this shit. Sounds like unorganized whiney chaos just to be counter culture for the sake of being different. Not once did I think "Man, at least there's a lot of talent on the instruments." The vocals are fingernails on a chalk board, the whole album is that imo. Not my shit at all.
It's almost as if the band got together and said, "let's be weird". It does not feel organic. It seems like a great effort. And to name their album after the worst song on it. More than a few confusing decisions made on this record.
I've really only ever liked one or two songs by the Pixies, and this just reconfirms my feelings. Not for me.
This went from, "oh this could be good and fun" to "what the fuck" real quick. Where Is My Mind is the only saving grace, and even that has been remixed to be better! Very happy these songs were short.
Terrible
This is what a schizoid identity crisis sounds like. If that is your thing, fill yer boots. Not for me.
Man, I love the Pixies so much, wait no, man, I can't wait to hear them ever again in my life. What rubbish! Sounds like a noisy mess of blah and trash, like crappy punk music. Also, how does Where Is My Mind? have over 1 billion plays on Spotify? Do people listen to it with their ears turned off?
Obnoxious fairies
didnt like the genre or the overall music
Glad it was only 33 mins. Mix was all over the place, guitar masturbation and garage band quality. Over all, a tough listen.
I never liked the pixies, still don’t. Probably won’t.
Just not my style
Basically unlistenable
I'm just not sure the Pixies are for me. They're fine. Except for Where is My Mind? That's a good one.
Dunno if it's just my age, but it's just noise to me. After a track and a half, I skipped to the one song I'd heard of to see if it might explain why the Pixies had achieved a place on this list. It gave a little redemption, but can't say I'd ever listen to this album all the way through
Only one good song
Hardcore/punk garage rock. Precursor to the grunge movement. Tough listen. Drums sound like they were actually recorded in a garage even though he keeps good time. Not an impressive display of musicianship. Kim deal went on to better things. Decent three song stretch in the middle.
This record is downright awful from beginning to end, the only exception being „Where's my mind?“. Whats the point about out of tune singing and playing? I don't like producer Steve Albini's sound design anyway - the dry guitar sound in particular. It's good to be remembered why I sold this many years ago. The real question is: Why is this piece of trash part of the book? I strongly feel some editing is required.
One or two good songs but consider this vote a protest against a THIRD Pixies album
A very strong contender for the worst garbage I have ever heard. Self indulgent noise. And I expected to love this LOL.
Hurt my ears
Sounds live with lots of yelling from relatively untalented singers. 1/5
What a disappointing album seeing as where is my mind is an all time favorite of mine.
Angsty, trashy, and sloppy. Irritating. Good to have the context for "Where is My Mind?" though.
Not for me
Wat een fucking horror. Something Against You is gewoon herrie. Dit is geen muziek meer joh, gewoon rammen op een gitaar en een drumstel terwijl iemand in een microfoon schreeuwt. Gelukkig duurt dit album maar iets meer dan een half uur, maar in die tijd kun je beter iets anders doen. Where is my mind is een bekend nummer, maar geen goed nummer. Ik haat, echt haat, de zanger van deze band. Wat een fucking drama is dit. The Pixies? Een groot deel van de muziek klinkt als geluid vanuit dixies.
Just couldn’t get into it , indie rock has been changing my opinion of it throughout this journey but this one just didn’t move the needle for me , heard it a few times moving on
Last song and like one other song were decent, rest of it were bad. 1.5/5
simplesmente muito ruim.
Me deu dor de cabeça escutar isso. Album destinado para cracudos de los angeles da decada de 90. Bem abaixo da linha de mediocridade, nao é mid é algo pior que mid. Se esse album fosse uma pessoa ele seria uma albanesa que prostitui sua irma mais nova para servos. 2 musicas se salvam de 13(Fez o L?), a bateria é legal e tem algumas boas linhas de baixo. Fora isso eu desejaria ter tido um Smith & Weasson Numero 3 contra meu cranio e apertar o gatilho. Seria menos doloroso que escutar esse album. Tetas fartas/10
starting this ablum, im remembering that i dont love pixies, they have some bangers but the full on rock vibes arent great, skipped through a song or two at the beginning. not super my thing i cant lie, skipping through most of the songs fun bassline on gigantic from gigantic i am enjoying this album more, the music is slower paced and a bit more interesting, less "rockrock" and a bit more laid back. where is my mind? is an aboslute classic though, i cant fault this song, love playing it, love listening to it. i think theres a few songs in there, from gigantic to like tonys theme that are a bit more fun. had to stop the album early, skipping songs, not a fan but theres some goodies in there.
1/5
1/5. Only song which was good is where is my mind. The other songs just feel like shouting and chaos
Painful
Not for me at all. Style of singing just did not do it for me, neither did the lyrics or just the vibe at all
Whoever decided on their levels should be smacked. But on the other hand a debut album is a debut album in all aspects.
If this album was trying to crawl it's way out of a sarlacc pit labeled "Excruciating", it's trying it's hardest but only can manage a hand up to the surface. Overall a terrible time listening, but there were a few seconds of decent music in here that were then taken over by the rest that is irredeemable.
Bad production, poor musicianship, whining vocals. Bad stuff.
1/2
Ei toiminut sitten yhtään. Ei.
Um I don't get it
I would like them to stop doing whatever it is that they're doing
Im really not into the Pixies. Somehow I find the album to noisy and unsynched. But that one track "Where is my mind?": Absolutly freaking brilliant!
Loud guitars and screaming is overrated.
- Bossanova hat mir doch deutlich besser gefallen - einzig "Where Is My Mind?" ist hängengeblieben, wobei man ich den Hit vorher schon kannte 1,5/5⭐
nää
Not for me
No thanks
Not for me. It's certainly interesting but I wouldn't want this in my collection as I would not listen a second time.
My third Pixies album ...still don't like their music.
Very poor discordant not to my taste
Absolutely horrid, noisy instrumentals with screamy vocals over the top
The music was quite good, but the vocals were awful in my opinion.
1/5. Painfully hard to listen to
Ehhhhhh, for me it's a hit or miss for 90s rock or alternative, or watwber genre this is. This was a miss
Fürchterlicher Krach.
Boo
Noise
Gefällt mir nicht.
Not the best album I've listened to. Some of it is just like wtf specifically river euphrates..
Słabe. Taka muzyka dla "uhm uh jestem zajebisty i slucham pixies i pije tanie piwo z puszki pod czarnym kotem"
not my jam but i'd understand if its urs
Nicht meine Richtung
I like some Pixies stuff but this is not my fave
Just a lot of noise. I did not like any of the songs.
Not for me. Where Is My Mind is alright, the rest of the album was rough...
Where’s my mind was the only one I really liked and I think the covers better
Not my cup of tea. Too chaotic
Didn’t care for this one at all. Tried a few songs and gave up.
Not for me
I didn't listen to all of it. Not much my style.
I did not enjoy the album at all it was to dyslexic for me.
Hmm. Did not care for this. Lots of screaming. Reminded me of 80s punk.
Not my kind of music.
One good song
Not a fan at all…a bit wailing

First exposure to the Pixies outside of "Where is my mind" because of that one movie, and is in this album. Most tracks don't stand out to me. Only enjoying WIMM. 1*. When Spotify shuffled away from this album at the end and went to 12:51 by the Strokes I actually said "oh thank god, actual music"
So much nope.
Crunchy 80s indie rock. Not my thing.
1. bone machine - 1 2. break my body - 1 3. zomething againzt you - 1 4. broken face - 1 5. gigantic - 1 6. river euphratez - 1 7. uuhere iz my mind - 3 8. cactuz - 1 9. tonyz theme - 1 10. oh my golly - 1 11. vamoz - 0 12. im amazed - 13. brick iz red - 1
These are all basically the same song. Trying way too hard to make an impression for being so very esoteric after jumping on the bandwagon 10 years too late. I looked up this band and they were exactly what I imagined.
Guwno
Experimental, but not in a good way.
Yksi hyvä biisi, muut kamalia. Mieslaulajan ääntä ei isossa osassa kappaleista olisi halunnut kuunnella lainkaan.
Nič pre mňa
Did not enjoy. One good song. Seems like this is the genesis of a lot of metal, emo and angsty music... Send it back to the kitchen please chef.
Absolute garbage
De vorige keer was dit ook al niet om aan te horen. Een gemiddeld schoolbandje neemt vrijdagmiddag in de aula betere dingen op. Gelukkig sloeg Youtube de helft van de nummers over wegens 'mogelijk ongeschikt voor sommige gebruikers'. Het zal best een heeeel belangrijke rol in de muziekgeschiedenis hebben gespeeld, maar mogen wij dit lelijk vinden? Ja, dit mogen wij lelijk vinden.
Man...man...wat is dat valse gezang verschrikkelijk om naar te luisteren. En dan lijkt het nog wel met opzet vals. Ik ben blij als het album af en toe een break biedt. Met een dame in the lead bij Gigantic bijvoorbeeld of met het pop-achtige Where Is My Mind.
Schrecklich. Wirklich grauenhaft. Ich bin schlechten Gesang gewohnt, aber dieses Album ist nicht auszuhalten. Sehr, sehr, sehr schlecht.
kun albumin parhaalla biisillä on 30x kuunteluja seuraavaan biisiin verrattuna huoh, EI OLE HYVÄÄ LUVASSA VAROITAN......(jos vähiten kuunneltu biisi paras = hyvä album,) kuulemma hyvä albumi noh KUULOSTANEE IHAN PERUS INDIE POP PUNK ROCKILTA MEIKÄ POJAN KOROVIIN:....... EI KOVIN HYVÄLTÄ SIIS.. eilen sama albumi jota kaikki vihas....sanoin ehkä ok general public...ei enäää....samasta albumista tykätään nyt...VEDETTIIN NENÄSTÄ KUN KARJANKOIRA KONSANAAN... LAMMASTA LAITUMELLE... where is my mind
realmente PÉSSIMO. não entendo como este nessa lista, poluição sonora total. nada se destaca positivamente.
Ótimo álbum pra você realizar tortura branca em alguém. Antes da metade do álbum, ela já vai estar contando todos os seus maiores segredos.
Just no. This was noisy and amateurish and I had to stop listening halfway through the album because every song was making me physically recoil
Pros: The album was under 35 minutes Cons: Everything else about this album
Eh, it’s fine I guess. For one song
meh
This album is meh. I didn't really enjoy any of the songs on the album, just didn't 'click" I guess. Not my cup of tea. Favorite song: N/A Worst song: N/A
1 meh album
Bloody awful racket
Uggggh, no class!
Where is my mind er ok men resten er punksøl bråk
God awful. Sounds like a junior high talent show gone wrong (do any of them ever go right??).
I didn’t realize “Where is My Mind” was by them, so that was a nice break in the chaos that is Surfer Rosa. My brows were furrowed trying to figure out most of it. It sounded a lot like some of early punk albums, unfinished and raw. All over the place. Wouldn’t listen to it again.
Didn't really like this album, too harsh for me. Might have also been because I was listening at 6 am
For how much this band is talked about importance-wise, I was not very impressed. Sound/vocals were harsh. Can't believe Where is My Mind was by far my favorite.
Breathtakingly awful. Shrill, tuneless and thoroughly unenjoyable. Among the worst albums I've heard on the 1001 list. I'm at sing six - "Where is My Mind" - and that's it. Don't even want to see if gets better. Do yourself a favour and hit the "Did not listen" button.
I'm seriously not a fan of whatever this is... punk? rock? alternative? I just couldn't tolerate the dissonance of the two singers, and all the screeching. It is too inharmonious for my taste.
Just terrible, the only song i like is the one from the fight club ost. Mostly just annoying like listening to drunk siblings do karoeke
Not great, couldn't get past third song. 1/5
Blah…..
Noisy
Dreadful
That was a lot of shouting
Boring album - nothing that sticks out really. Just very plain.
too loud
Not my cup of tea.
Anderhalve minuut volgehouden
Did not like the album.
I need more fela
Decent album
