Album Notes & Community Reviews

Issued explicitly to capitalize on the wildly successful, highly lucrative reunion tour of the massively influential Boston alternative rock quartet. Serving as an expanded update to the earlier 'Death to the Pixies' compilation, it includes crucial live cuts and essential album tracks that were previously overlooked. It stands as the premier, comprehensive single-disc introduction to their wildly dynamic, loud-quiet-loud sound.
