i don't think they can make the same kinda music as they did before they have to evolve their sound or else they would just be exploiting the classic pixies formula without taking any creative risk..

And honestly, was it that bad? well not bad, average?
i thought it was pretty good.. im considering these songs a good starting point. maybe they are not masterpieces but i think if they keep at it they can develop a new chemistry and new dynamics instead of doing fanservice to keep the fans happy
Well it's certainly not awful, but it's not particularly good either. Maybe there is part of me that wants them to record songs that sound like lost songs from their original incarnation, but at the same time I'm disappointed that their new material isn't groundbreaking or inspiring in a new way. If they release more songs like Indie Cindy in the near future my opinion might change somewhat. But for now I'm starting to feel the same way about the current incarnation of the Pixies as I do the current incarnation of The Smashing Pumpkins.
