...well as the catchiest (and only) love song ever written about Buñuel and Dalí’s Un chien andalou—immediately animated the crowd. The sound was clean, loud and well-mixed. The bass anchored, the drums propelled, the guitars sang and Black??s voice mauled. The Pixies were back together. This is what the crowd had waited 12 years to hear...

Where it isn’t always evident, unfortunately, is in the vocals, often coming across as either weak or too ornamental given the song material, and at times (“Where is My Mind?”) just plain silly.
