Maybe not quite up there with Surfer Rosa in terms of awesomeness but I always thought this was one of the Pixies better records.

Better than Surfer Rosa and the cover of the album is really cool. You can't go wrong with Pixies, arent you ! 8-8,5/10

If the second half wasn't mediocre, that being tracks 10-13 (though that isn't many, them being subsequent is an atrocious mistake that really disrupts the conherence the album generated with the previous 9), and if Stormy Weather wasn't the worst Pixies song, then Bossanova would be Pixies best album, so is my belief. It is actually my favorite; however, I can only reasonably give it a 4, although it is a very mighty 4.

Bossanova gets overlooked a lot by most people, but for me, this is the Pixies studio album of choice for me. The pop songs - "Velouria", Talking Heads homage "Dig For Fire" - are absolutely joyous, and some of the best songs the band ever wrote. "Alison" might be the bands' definitive song, showing as it does almost every facet of the band in one song. The rest throws up some shocks, each of them welcome - the Surftones cover "Cecilia Ann" is brilliant, "Rock Music" is one of the most fierce things the band ever did, and "Havalina", "Is She Weird?", and "The Happening" provide further highlights. There's not much to choose between this and Doolittle, but this is just a little more consistent.
