EL GRAN COMBO DE PUERTO RICO - 20 AÑOS 20 ÉXITOS

 

this is an old album from when el gran combo was only 20 years old (they’re now pushing 60, lol). so, 1982.

lyrically this is nowhere near the kind of stuff rubén blades put out — but the orchestra is fucking perfection. especially the brass section. oh damn. brass and percussion—so good.

this is of course a party album. don’t come here looking for pain and gloom. the opening track is literally about fleeing death and enjoying while you can haa haaa haa.

ok. don’t lissen if you don’t wanna. yo... me voy a gozar.

Title track, Alec, Subbacultcha, Letter to Memphis, UMASS... Plenty of great stuff in my opinion. I like it more than Bossanova probably.

Looking at the track listings, they're actually about even. So I take it back.

Sorry, but there are four or five really good songs on INDIE. Same amount on TROMPE, imho.

What's your problem with Indie Cindy?

Oh, I see. Needledrop gave it 4/10. That's why you don't like it. Only reason.

[noisereductions]

I like Indie Cindy just fine.

[evollove]

You do?

I agree with criticisms that it doesn't sound like classic Pixies, but I'm not sure Trompe does either.

Actually, maybe better than both is Frank Black's eponymous debut. Recorded at same time as Trompe, right? Damn that's got some good stuff.

Figured me out, ya done did. A guy I openly disagree with about at least half of ALL THINGS doesn’t like that shit half-Pixies album everyone hates, and that’s the reason why I don’t like it.

Didn’t even know what Needle Drop was when I formed an opinion on that Steamer. Maybe I just like the actual Pixies?

Needle Drop guy bashed MBDTF and Yeeus you silly goose. Silly.

See, the Bush fan likes it. I rest my case.

Nice needle *flop* evollvoe.

Jk. Love ya both. “Greedy Fly” rawks.

I just don’t think of Indy Cindy or that other recent one with the awesome name as being actual Pixies albums.

[noisereductions]

It is so weird you said that as I listened to Razorblade Suitcase yesterday. Idgaf that album is great. Albini rules.

Today I listened to Sap. Not really great. Just ok.

I don't see how those new ones aren't Pixies albums. Shrug.

No they don't sound like classic Pixies but they sound good for what they are.

I like Trompe more than the first FB album but it's close. My fav FB is prob the self titled Catholics album I think.
