Look for those that know about this music and like it it’s probably amazing. Not for me though. Too young still to appreciate this type of music.

Never got into this lot back in the day as they always seemed like a bit of a novelty band to me. On listening now that may have been slightly harsh but I still don’t really get the appeal that much.

Rated 10/10

I know people seem to fall into two camps with this one. Those who think There She Goes is the only good song and those who think the album as a whole is brilliant: I’ve always fallen in the latter category.

This is a superb album with so many excellent songs. There She Goes is clearly a great song but this album is so much more than just that one song. As a whole it just works and also gives us many more standout tracks, such as Feelin’ and Timeless Melody. And it finished off with the magnificent Looking Glass.

Simply a great album.

Rated 8/10

Never really got into the Pixies as much as I probably should have. Nothing wrong with this album though.

Note to Stevie if he comes on here to read these reviews. Give me an album full of tracks of the quality and funk of Superstition and you can have 5 stars.

A ‘hidden’ gem! I was fully expecting to find an album full of uninteresting fillers alongside the big hits but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the whole album. A few really good album tracks as well that I’d never heard before which I really liked. So much better than a lot of that other 80’s generic rock. Will be listening to this one again before long.

Rated 6/10

Another one I’m not quite sure about and can’t decide if I liked it or not. The initial attack on the senses calmed down a bit and I found myself enjoying it more the longer it went on. Still not sure if it’s good or not though so going for a middle of the road rating.
