Review The Pixies "Come On Pilgrim"

Come On Pilgrim is The Pixies debut EP released in September, 1987, on 4AD

The Good

Since, we are dealing with one of the greats of Alternative Rock we should expect some quality music, and thankfully Come On Pilgrim delivers. Songs like, "Caribou" "Vamos" and "Holiday Song"are in my opinion Pixies "Classics", and are songs that showed what's to come. With albums like Surfer Rosa and Doolittle, also like those albums.Come On Pilgrim has some fantastic vocal performances by, "Frances Black" or "Black Francis", and some great back up vocals by "Kim Deal". Also like any other Pixies realese,Come On Pilgrim has some of the best Alt Rock Guitar, Bass, and Drums around. Also on this EP are some at times funny and at some times weird lyrics, witch help make The Pixies sound. Witch in my opinion, can only be described has magic.

The Bad

Some of the chorus's aren't has strong has others, but besides that. The EP's great, but not perfect.

The Verdict

Come On Pilgrim is a great first release by The Pixies, and a great EP. 8.5/10
