    Really like it, think it's a return to form. I was worried after "bag boy" which i thought was below average. Sounds like classic Pixies while also sounding fresh

    Not sure about Andro Queen. What Goes Boom is the best track IMO, but that's because it sounds like the Pixies.

    Andro Queen sounds like Pet Shop Boys/Erasure...and that's being generous

    quite like Indie Cindy - the rest of it sounds like decent FB solo material, not terrible but not amazing either.

    Great tracks, not crazy about what goes boom. The other 3 are gold. They will rock the Olympia.

    :eek: Talk about taking it a bit too personally.

    I managed to pick up a copy of the vinyl which arrived during the week - sure its not great but the pleasure I got in playing a new Pixies release on Vinyl was enough for me.

    Stopped caring about pitchfork along time ago, they are a joke.
    I like the EP, Indie Cindy is my favourite and what goes boom my least favourite. Looking forward to hearing the new stuff live.

    Its pretty dull. Indie Cindy is about the only decent thing on it.

    Whole thing reminds me of Frank Black solo work, like Bluefinger; songs that just plod along and go nowhere for a few minutes.

    I agree, its not really the Pixies without Kim Deal.

    Pitchfork is the equivalent of the attention-seeking wannabe cool kid in school. Throwing around opinions because they think they're the 'cool' ones to have or being contrary to popular opinion to show they have an 'edge'.

    Wholly unreliable. A haircut or nicely styled suit can sway reviews with them folk.

    i'm liking it more than the first one, After hearing Greens and Blues live i thought it would sound much harder than it does on the recorded version but still my favourite song on the EP.

    Am I the only one who hates the new one more than EP1?
    Sounds like a collection of over-indulgent Frank Black solo b-sides.
    Nothing particularly "pixies-like" about any of the 4 tracks.
    I think I'll have to draw the line here and will give EP3 a skip if it ever happens.
    The Pixies should take a leaf from Dinosaur jr or MBV's book and come back when they've something a bit edgier.
