I had never been into the Pixes and had never listened to this album before. My first exposure to the band was a few years ago when a friend invited me to see a Pixies/Weezer concert. I was not very impressed with the Pixies set. It seemed lackluster and uninvolving. So ok, I had to give this a second listen, to be fair, but I am afraid it did not improve my overall impression of this. I find this to be a mix of college rock and garage, too many repetitive lyrics and some spots are just unintelligible screaming. I never really felt this one, a couple of good songs. Bright spot "Where is my Mind?"
