Opening track was the only good song. The rest was quite unbearable
Tremenda mierda de grupo. Otra de esas bandas para que los snobs sordos tengan ídolos. Parece que se están inventando las canciones sobre la marcha (y tampoco tienen mucha práctica). Esto es un grupo de barrio como mucho.
It’s ok
Really not a fan of this album. Pixies are hit and miss. Some label them as essential but to me are mediocre.
Two or three songs that are ok from this album. Otherwise, the sound is like a lot of grunge bands. Not my cup of tea.
I hated it

Meh probably not gonna return to this
I gotta be honest, I would have much preferred if this album were actually bossa nova. I hope there is even a single bossa nova album here instead of just more of the same white boy 80s-90s brit pop punk grunge. Because that's what this pixies album was to me - more of that fade-into-the-background spoilt rich white adolescent 90s brit grunge. Doolittle is already on this list and absolutely no more Pixies are permitted on the list.
I don't hate it. I just didn't think any of the songs were very good for me.
This album was the epitome of dogshit and I never want to hear any of the songs from it again. None of it was unique, original, interesting, or just good quality in general. 0/5 terrible album. Actually gonna kms.
Like an assault on my eardrums. Truly awful.
Super fucking garbage
Some guitar. Some quiet/LOUD dynamics. Some screaming. Of its time, and influential I suppose just not for me.
It’s not that good 1001 album worthy - no - 61/113
Kauheaa sontaa
En kyllä tykännyt albumista. Edellinen Pixiesin albumi jonka kuuntelin oli 70-luvulta ja levynä ihan ok. Tämä kuulosti siltä kuin pojat olisivat sen 20 vuotta soittaneet autotallissa jonka seinillä on työkalujen sijaan eri sienilajitelmia. Jos tämä olisi demo jonka Pixies ojentaisi minulle sanoisin luultavasti että kannattaa myös muistaa hommata tasainen päivätyö.
Not for me
I'm actually good, thanks
Ugh
Alt rock. Not my thing. Thanks. Bye.
Pretty basic background music.

Maybe it's my expectations speaking for me, but for an album with that name, I expected more, much more. The worst problem with "Bossanova" is not that it's the generic of the generic of the generic of the alt rock of its time, but the simple fact that its songs are completely forgettable. It pains me to say this because the album has a good production, but unfortunately that doesn't support the fact that 10 seconds later I had already forgotten what I heard. Regrettable.
Gylle
I get the album with the fight club song is on here and probably an early noise album of there so the creator can pretend he knew them before they were cool, but this is too much in the weeds for me. I'm done.
Nope.
Did not like
I also thought I liked the Pixies, but I really felt this album was best left to my 90s self. My 2020s self has moved on from what now seems like noise music gone to hell in the hands of musician wannabes.
a couple decent songs…some were way not my taste wouldn’t listen again though
Was shit
Not what I was expecting, given the name. The first song had promise. After that, it was just shouting. Not for me.
More screaming... Another album that I won't finish listening to.
Grunge seems to feel like scratching a blackboard for me.
I’m gonna be a hater. Ik that’s predictable but, to me this sounds like an album that’s pretending to be a good album. Idk what is it but the tone/style of guitar I find ✨horrible✨ Obvs I don’t like this style of music but I have was willing to look past it, but it wasn’t enough for me :(
Yuck
Crap
HATE THIS ALBUM. Honestly. Such a pain to get through. Don't like.
Second album of the Pixies ... Bossanova was worse than Doolittle ... Stupid lyrics and mic screaming. Waste of time. 1/5
Early days grunge Not great but led the way
Not for me would be 0 star if I could
Unique sound. Rock, punk, metal?
No.
I'd like to like it. A lot of bands i like were inspired by them. And i don't even a little.
I want to like it, but I just can't like it. I had to force myself to listen, and the only thing going for me, is is was less than 45m long. *whew* Not for me.
Not my favourite
Überhaupt nicht meine Stilrichtung.
Meh
Not my vibe
stop shouting into my ears
ALtijd fijn als een album vol staat met van die lekker ontspannen Braziliaanse bossa nova, relaxte stemmen, geinige ritmes, mooi gitaargetokkel. Als een album alleen maar zo heet, dan is er natuurlijk een stuk minder aan. Met name als het weer van die baggermuziek is.
Not for me
Not my cup of tea - screechy vocals
Not for me
Not my style of music. Beginning of the album is hard to get into. The first song is the best for me. Unlucky
Pretty typical and ordinary for the time period (90s) - perhaps choosing 1001 albums was a stretch too far and landed into "what we know of", rather than "what is actually good".
Not my thing
This is not my cup o' tea
That’s a no for me, boss.
Edit: This is the 2nd album generated for me, and I gave it a 2 because I figured there would be things that are much worse than this. And there are, but this is still pretty bad. Downgrading to a 1. I hate the Pixies. This was okay. I think the Pixies just aren't really for me. I thought the latter half of the album was decent, but I just wasn't a fan overall. "Dig for Fire" and "Down to the Well" were the standouts for me.
noise
I don't like this, it's weird
Another yelly band that didnt do it for me
boring and a bit repetetive not my type
yikes- “rock music” has got to be THE worst song i’ve heard ever, and given some of the albums we’ve had that’s saying a lot. compared to that song the rest of the album was bad but not as bad as the previous album we’ve had. but i genuinely can’t say one good thing about this album? other than it’s not their worst? i cant decide between a 1 or 2 but i think given the fact nothing about this is good i’ll have to go with a 1. 1.5 at best. the length is good- one more minute and i might just hang myself 🙃🤓
Kattengejank. Hippe kut-rock
It’s an average pixies album. Doesn’t need to be on this list at all.
Oh no, why two Pixies in a row.? Loud and irritating and I just don't want to hear this music right now. It's the kind of thing that makes you feel unglued, unhinged, unhappy! Not a fan at this point in time.
扎实,硬核,带有一丝鬼诞的感觉。但我觉得有点过于普通,不会给我留下什么深刻印象,也不会让我有动力再点开一次。
Not that good
They really throw you for a curveball with the first three songs. It just switches genre so fast you can't recover. However, past that, its genre stays constant, but it's not a good genre. It's like more digestible noise, which isn't the worst thing? But I don't know who enjoys this mediocre stuff.
Pixies were actually one of the first bands I ever saw perform live. First it was The Wombats who were opening, and then Pixies then Weezer. I didn't know Pixies at the time, but their live performance sucked so bad that it has tainted my perception of this band. I barely even like "Where Is My Mind?" and usually, I listen to covers of it instead. The Pixies just ruined any chance they had of me liking them that night.
Noooo thank you :<
No thank you. Barb says it’s an awful lot of screamin’
Didn’t like very well
boring. Just don't get the appeal.
This album sound like a punk album recorded by someone who has no idea what punk is or was. It has no life
Awful
Not for me.
Really don't like the Pixies
Nothing interesting
Just mindless hard rock playing. It's not really my thing. 3/10.
Boring
First song sounds like cowboy surfer music, the second song immediatley turns into some grunge-punk scream Kinda dig it so far I spoke way too soon, couldn't even finish the album, hated every song except the first one which i liked enough to add to my playlist
Not a fan of punk to be honest. Don't listen to much if this.
Didn’t get through the whole album. Not my thing. Rock music with very simple lyrics.
trash
1/5
