from a review by Robert Christgau, Dean of Rock Criticism (and recently retired). He was never a huge fan, but with his historical depth and way with words, I think he captured part of their greatness here:
"The beats are lively. The three-minute songs don't bash you over the head with their punk/pop brevity. Neither do the two-minute songs. If they weren't still a little gothic-surrealist they might even be too easy--but they ain't. "

or this, also from Christgau:
"These devilkins have the music down, and they never overstay their welcome."
editing is clearly key for them (as it was with the Beatles). They only put out the good stuff, the shit. If they had a good riff, they used it a couple of times and let it go. It never gets boring with the Pixies.

Kim is so awesome. An amazon, but sweet, and so talented and sincere. I loved that moment in the movie of them where she reads the book that girl gave her about how the Pixies influenced her life. She was so serious, so taken aback....
