AllMusic

The Pigeon Is the Most Popular Bird is the debut studio album of the noise rock band Six Finger Satellite, released in 1993 through Sub Pop.

Critical reception

The Seattle Times wrote that the band "create an intelligent (and radio-unfriendly) hybrid of conventional musical styles, sheer noise and structural deftness." Pitchfork called The Pigeon Is the Most Popular Bird "one of the best noise-rock records of the 90s," writing that "the transitions from silly to searing highlight SFS' unpredictable and caustic approach."
