Four stars. By Heather Phares. http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/p/pixies/pixies.shtml "It is truly amazing that these songs were the first the band ever laid to tape. Removed from any context-- namely, the later re-recordings of most of these tunes-- they're better than most anything released this year." Rating: 6.4. By Ryan Kearney. August 23, 2002
