Album Reviews
Now, sisters Kim and Kelley Deal reconvene for a set that steals home while the reunited Pixies play footsie in the studio waiting room. "I can feel it . . . oh, oh, oh, oh," Kim shouts over a Keith Moon-style drum assault on "Overglazed," teetering over what sounds like the best indie-rock orgasm ever. But soon enough, shouts of "I love no one/And no one loves me!" and "I've been waiting for a message all night!" sound like a generation of pissed-off women fogging their iPhones. Steve Albini (Nirvana, PJ Harvey), among other producers, keeps things raw; indeed, the record's primitive art punk sometimes echoes Nirvana. But that's appropriate: Lauding life's crappiness and occasional okayness in English, German and Spanish (see the classic Mexican ballad "Regalame Esta Noche"), Mountain Battles is a record the late Breeders fan Kurt Cobain would have loved.

This cd finds me without fail confused. It is not bad, but they have done better. No single even for college airplay.
