I just hate when youtube busts all over me while edging, I feel you Smags 😩

You'll like Bossanova.

I also liked Doolittle more at first but Surfer Rosa grew on me massively and now I can’t choose between the two. Also Bossanova and Trompe le Monde are both incredible!

Great reaction, GIGANTIC really. So if you dig the female vocalists voice Kim Deal you should really check out her band where she sings lead and even better, she came out with(what I consider to be) a PERFECT album from back to front. Check out The Breeders - Last Splash. I won't tell you it's better than The Pixies but I will tell you I listen to it more often. Recommendations Oneohtrix Point Never - R Plus Seven Lil Ugly Mane - Volcanic Bird Enemy and the Voiced Concern Arca - Kick I-IIIII

Watching them play "Something Against You" live is really a sight to behold. Just amazing 😩

You gotta do you’re living all over me by Dinosaur Jr. Essential indie/noise rock record!

I love you so much smegma!!! Keep uploading!

i know it got dead last in the pole awhile ago but i need need need dirt by alice in chains please thanks you

There aren't too many Pinback reactions on YT, but I feel like you'd dig em. Summer in Abaddon is solid, or Blue Screen Life.

Funny anecdote about the short songs was Black Francis and the producer, engineer, or somebody in the studio got in an arguement about the short songs. Story goes that they broke, and Francis took them out to the record store showing them Beatles records and all the songs that were only 2 or just over 3 min long.

Dawg. I freaking love you. Idk who's feeding you these suggestions. But it's the best selection on the site. I just listened to this and thought to myself, I bet Smags would love this. And come to find you already did it. Freaking love it dude. Never stop!

When you do The Smiths again you need to check out their debut album. Its honestly fantastic great album. You will enjoy it a lot.

Enjoyed your reaction. I don’t think you have reacted to any of The Smiths yet, try Meat is Murder.

Trompe Le Monde is my fave of theirs. You should do it along with Bossanova!

Yeah, you should do The Smiths again. Meat Is Murder!

Innerspeaker by Tame Impala

When I originally listened to his way back in the day they combined it with their EP Come on you Pilgrim. I actually prefer that Ep by a hair but love both.

Kim Deal! Important figure in alt rock

Burial - Kindred EP you should enjoy very much !

Bossanova reaction next? Trompe le Monde is also amazing

more Swans. Let's get The Seer and The Glowing Man :)

Love to see you doing more Pixies, one of my all time favs. My recommendation is Bee thousand by Guided by voices, I think you'll really dig it!

Hey Smags, love the channel, here's some recs I think you'd enjoy from artists I don't think you've spun yet: Broken Social Scene - You Forgot it in People TV on the Radio - Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes Belle and Sebastian - Tigermilk The Antlers - Hospice Built to Spill - Keep it Like a Secret

Even KZfaq can't ruin this man consistency

I love this channel. Most other reaction channels don't do it for me, but this one does!! if you have any time, you should listen to come in by weatherday, my fav record of all time

Whenever Pixies are mentioned, it's always by people who claim they are THE inspiration and main influence of not only Nirvana, but alternative 90s rock in general, but that argument is way too superficial. People forget about Dinosaur Jr and Sonic Youth (and to a lesser extent My Bloody Valentine because they're really a late 80s band) and even earlier you have Husker Du and (one of my absolute favourites) The Replacements, sooo if you like Pixies, I would *strongly* recommend Bug or You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr, and/or Let It Be by The Replacements. Any of these three would be awesome to watch you react to. They're special albums. Oh and great video of course.

the most consistent man on this platform

Bro have you heard the Heaven or Las Vegas record before? It’s a must listen

Gigantic is one of my favourite tunes ever. Remember when it came out - boom! Banger.

great video my bro smags, since nirvana's in utero react I've been watching all the videos, keep it up.

I've never heard of this music project. Can't wait, also can't wait for the Lamb as Effigy reaction.

Another great group and album, thanx (You may know "Where is my mind" as a cover by Placebo or from many movies and TV series). So I hope one day you'll discover my favorite Suede and the Dog Man Star album.

Finally, my all-time favorite album! Game changer.

You never watched Fight Club bro?

I will never stop asking you for a depression cherry review

i was LITERALLY just sitting here thinking to myself "i wonder when smags will upload next" and i immediately got the notif 😭

For me, what makes this album special and so great is the switch up. It starts off really abrasive and noisey, then transitions into some very sweet songs. Also there was nothing really close to anything like this at the time. Closest there was to the fusion and transition would be what Prince was doing, and soundwise too, sounding like a mix of REM and the Stooges. So ambitious and so good. Ahead of its time and became so influential in the alt rock scene that would boom from Here, and would have staying power in the underground. Without this album, there's no Nirvana, Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, ect.

Good Stuff! This is a real favorite of mine. Listen to the Breeders - Pod or Last Splash! Especially as Gigantic was a hit on this one for you.

Keep up the great work, Smags. Random fact, 'something Against You' was in the Black Mirror episode, San Junipero. Recommendation: The Blaze - Jungle. This is my album of the year. Would love for you to review this before year end!

Where is my Mind is a top 10 all timer for me!

This album is a little disjointed but the chaos of it is part of its charm. As a first album the themes and the chaotic music says we are here and this is us so unapologetically. It is just a masterpiece.

Damn this was actually a banger. Also you should get around to Wet Leg, theyre really fun

By the way, I recommend Faith No More's Angel Dust.

That smiths song that came on is so good

I would love to see another Bowie reaction. I’d recommend Hunky Dory

Really good video man, love this album. If you’re accepting any requests I’d highly recommend “If you’re feeling sinister” by Belle and Sebastian. Anyway keep up the good videos

LIKE THE COD ZOMBIES IS SO... the reason why i watch u smags :)) keep being u also was it a mission to listen to specifically underground rock over underground rap bc i know some things u would fw but idk hope ur good bruh

You should check out Come in by Weatherday is an amazing album

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

Yo smags u the best album reactor and reviewer on KZfaq you should listen to pond the weather it won’t perform well but its my favorite album of all time or a better one for performance would be any CAN album

I would love to hear your reaction to the album Lonerism by Tame Impala. Please check them out!

Yes this was their first album, Doolittle came the year after. Doolittle is more consistent but Gigantic into River Euphrates into Where is my mind might be my favorite three song run ever. (Also Where Is My Mind is very popular because it was played in the final scene of Fight Club) 4 recommendations : George Clanton - Ooh Rap I Ya (2023/Neo-Psychedelia) Bowery Electric - Beat (1996/Shoegaze) Death Grips - The Powers That B (2015/Experimental Hip Hop) The Pillows - Happy Bivouac (1999/Power Pop)

I heard a lyrical version of "Hey" on clarinet and I realized how amazing the song was. Yes, I know it's not on this album

You should listen to David Bowie’s cover of “Cactus” I have an album you may enjoy: 1981 - The Stranglers “LaFolie” It flies between quirky and dark with great synth in the valleys. It’s a great one! I dig your channel, dude. Keep it up!

You should absolutely react to The Hazards Of Love album by The Decemberists. It's a concept album that is different and out there, but a real fun indie rock experience.

Bossanova is my favorite

I preferred doolittle for the longest time as well. Then i just didn't. One of the best debuts ever.

where the naked men at bro

Concur with the others here saying this is the best album reaction channel on KZfaq. Cipher by Slim Cessna's Auto Club would make a great video.

any tips on how to edge without summoning a tainted beast?

"Yes, yes dude" is the only appropriate comment for the guitars in Gigantic.

Come On, Pilgrim EP has to be next, it’s fire 🔥

You should do I'm Wide Awake It's Morning by Bright Eyes and the singer Conor Oberst's solo album Ruminations

perhaps some more talking heads in the future like fear of music or speaking in tongue

Take your time with it, but definitely finish up Pixies discography with Bossanova. Youll love it

Broken Face sounds a little bit hardcore punk. Pixies definitely have many punk elements but they fit the indie rock genre even though they had some major label stuff, I think 🤘💥

I hate when I’m edging for the last 4 bjork albums and I just can’t finish

Please listen to the ooz by king krule smags

I need a depression cherry reaction

Come on Pilgrim is before this album...then after this album was Doolittle. Then they did Bossanova, then my favorite Trompe Le Monde. Then they broke up for many years and got back together and have had 4 more albums.

Repetition by Unwound would be cool

NOOOOOO THE JIMI REACTION 😭😭😭

Whenever you're ready for some rap, checkout Dr Octagon's Dr. Octagonacologyst. It's next level art.

Yo! You're right about Gigantic but I wouldn't say you got the whole picture! Think about how weird and kinky Pixies songs get. And listen to how sweet, young & innocent the lyrics are. Something's going on in 60s white middle class suburbia? I'm just saying that's my read!😂 And I really just gave away my age!😆😆

Check out If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle and Sebastian, I think you'd like it

smags i was just wondering do u make anythibg off these videos? they all get claimed so i was wondering why you do it

Ok. I have a suggestion for you: Time for a deep dive. Siouxsie and the Banshees - “A Kiss in the Dream House” album.

smags go watch fight club and then come back and listen to where is my mind? it’s just 10x better after watching the movie. yk i gotta recommend the ooz or man alive by king krule again i think you’ll enjoy it based off ur reactions.

omg

Based on the albums you've listened to and liked, (and for anyone reading this who likes Aphex Twin and post-2000s Radiohead), I'd strongly recommend giving MODERAT a listen/reaction-they make some fantastic, groovy, moody, gloomy and atmospheric electronic music. Not enough love for those guys, but they opened for Radiohead back in '09, and you can definitely hear their influence on Thom Yorke's solo efforts!

if you end up ever listening to this album enough to get hooked on it, i'm telling you "break my body" feels like a battle anthem when it comes on, like you feel the adrenaline rush up in your blood, it's crazy. the pixies is one of those bands who's albums just get better and better the more you listen to them, so if you enjoyed your first pass, i'm just sayin

Tony is Tony Hawk

MORE BEACH HOUSE !!!!

Yeah, this came before Doolittle

No doubt you know some from fight club

Idk if anyone has said this yet, but the Tigris and Euphrates were/are part of the fertile crescent, which is in Iraq, but many recognize it as the birthplace of Western civilization and Sumeria.

The broad from the surfer rosa album cover is the hottest woman ever

when you gonna listen to Mr Bungle? self titled album is one of my favorites of all time

Dude black francis wrote all these songs from a Christian point of view and his interpretation of them it's pretty mental but as a pixies fan that's the story

Listen to the ghost pop tape by jpegmafia

alex g 😫

Check out Janes Addiction- Nothing Shocking (boobs on the cover of that one too) Soul Coughing- Ruby Vroom Paul McCartney - RAM Violent Femmes- Violent Femmes (1983) Thanks for entertaining me

Come on pilgrim their first album has a lot mote incest lines it is something i speculate Frank Black has dealt with the trauma of

Breeders. Pod. Go now.

This double album *sigh*. So hard seductive complicated raw and it stays with you 🔥

bro id love to see you react to “paraiso” by haruomi hosono. it’s so good and i’ve never really heard anything like it
