    ‘Doggerel’ isn’t a bad record, it’s just missing the audacious grit that is so entwined with the bizarre charm that makes the PIXIES so remarkable.

    While the sense of concerted effort from Pixies rarely lets up, few of these songs make a lasting impression.

    I have to say, I’m pretty confident this is the best of the Pixies 2.0 albums. The first listen or two may wash over you a bit, but anythingI have to say, I’m pretty confident this is the best of the Pixies 2.0 albums. The first listen or two may wash over you a bit, but anything by Charles Thompson usually takes a few listens to worm in. This is a great record.
