Doolittle

Didn't like it less than I disliked the others.

It’s hard for me re-visit this with fresh ears, as I still listen to it occasionally after all these years. It still hits, and Albini’s caustic production sounds as abrasive as ever, while still preserving the melodic nature of the songs. My favorite of their discography (which btw does not include anything released after the 1990s in my eyes).

Eyyyyyyyy I loved this album. I Have actually listened to it before and contemplated. getting a CD version. I replay enjoyed ‘Debaser”, ‘Tame’, ‘I Bleed’ and ‘Silver’ I quite enjoyed the folky twang present in ‘Silver’ with the call and response. “ There are dangers (There are dangers), There are sorrows, I can't see this lady, It is shady, I am leavin' tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow” This is definitely going into my top rated albums. Rating: 5/5 GEMV (19.09.2026)

I just don't like the Pixies. After Sub Rosa, Teenager of the Year and this shit, I still don't like the Pixies. Their music is a cacophony of sounds that does not mesh.

Ahh I just don't rate em!

I must have heard this album a few hundred times by now. Every time I’m blown away. Every second of this album is iconic to me. 10/10

One of the 50 or so albums that's in my top 25 of all time. No matter how loud you play this, it's not loud enough.

The all-time grunge classic (yeah, yeah, I know, Nevermind...) Great lyrics, great tunes, GREAT bass.

Wish I’d found this band earlier!

Rocks

Very odd vocals but really catchy songs underneath. Great loud and quiet changes.

very pixies. Chilled, indie rock, relatively simple production. Not bad

Solid alternative rock. Fun to listen to.

Doolittle was such a revelation when it was released and was a integral part of my teenage soundtrack. The songs presented that you can combine catchy pop melodies with more aggressive outbursts and Joey Santiago's guitar playing was great inspiration for a young DIY guitarist (was really liberating to get the screwdrivers ready and play a guitar solo with one note only :-D).

Second listening sounded already nice and I assume that third listening would have raised this to 3 stars. I left it with strong 2.

#483 / 1089 Heard before? ✅ Revisit? ✅ I have Bossanova and Trompe le Monde on vinyl, I think I only had Doolittle taped on a cassette. I've probably mostly listened to it at friends places, we used to spend a lot of time at each others and just put on music from their shelves. It sounds like essential Pixies, some of it is a bit annoying today, but mostly it's a nice blend of weirdness, subdued (and less so) aggression and soft sighed vocals. I'm torn between 3 and 4/5. It has a lot of sentimental value, but also I find it quite irritating, quite often (I'm also recovering from a migraine attack, so that might affect my judgement).

LUSHHHHH crazy opening

amazing blend of pop/noise/slacker rock. one of my favorite experiences with this project is when i realize that my taste in music has changed drastically since the last time i heard an album.

ok

CLASSIC

yesss i been lookin forward to this one. i think i listened to it like one time maybe at some point in the last decade then just. never came back to it for some reason? which was fucking stupid on my part cos this fucks!! the frantic energy i was talking about missing on bossanova is here in spades and i fuck with it incredibly. tracks like "debaser", "tame" and "crackity jones" make me wanna flail my arms around like a dipshit and thats what im heeeere forrrrr!! even the slower tracks still fuck tho, and i love the vocal effects on eg. "wave of mutilation". my favourite is a toss up between that and "tame", genuinely the only complaint i have about this album is that the latter is only 2 minutes long. i need more....... pleaseee....... this is the easiest 5 we've rolled in weeks. im still lookin forward to surfer rosa when it comes up but..... this might've honestly dethroned it as my favourite pixies album. guess we'll find out......

Any exitement built up with the intro of Debaser vaporises like a snowman left to die in the sahara desert when the vocals kick in. Not my thing 2.0/5.0

i love this album ... probably my favorite pixies album ... sadly i wasn't really into them at the time, but really realized what i was missing out on after they were done ... like i knew the songs 97x played a lot ... but the album cuts are just as good as the "hits" ... easily a 4.

Throughly enjoyed this album more than Sufer Rosa. Highly recommend to others

After an incredible opening this one is kind of hit or miss for me. Parts of it are fine but others just kind of devolve into “noise.” I can’t deny the album’s influence but that doesn’t really make it my thing.

It's okay but there's only a few tracks towards the back end that were intriguing to me. Most of them didn't do much for me.

Belter of an album from one of the best bands of all time. 5

3.8/5.

Probably my favorite Pixies album. Some classic tracks in here and I like the production style a lot. I used to think Pixies were a bit of a few hits per album then the rest filler but this record, on relisten, is excellent.

I only heard the first Song. Awful, this music makes mieses bleed.

Not the biggest fan…

Amazing album

Le bassline di questo disco sono super groovy e il tone mi fa impazzire, album semplicemente incredibile

GOT ME MOVIN' AW HO HO HO HO SLICING ABOVE MA AW HO HO HO GIRL U SO GROOVY AW HO HO HO

Really interesting album! I loved its range and I can definitely see how this band could be so influential.

College Rock at its finest, and the Pixies at the top of their game. This is hugely representative of an era and, at least for me, it gives a big nostalgic feel to it. An easy 4/5.

I'm too old for this but I do recognize it as great rock and roll.

I quite like the pixies after seeing them in concert last year. A good album, guitar is amazing, lyrics are both dark and fun, excellent riffs. Didn’t reach the absolute heights but still pretty good.

one of the more important indie rock albums of its time, for sure. i've made comments about Dinosaur Jr's late 80s work sounding pretty 90s but this goes even further. other than a few moments like the Smiths-esque Here Comes Your Man, at least. i like the influence of hardcore on the songwriting. a bunch of short bursts of energy is a nice album structure. i enjoyed this album more than i used to, but i'm still far from a Pixies devotee. deserves to be one of the 1001? this one absolutely does yeah

A great album paving the way along others for the distinctive sound of the early 90's. Favorite Songs: Debaser ; Here Comes Your Man ; Monkey Gone to Heaven ; La La Love You

Svak 3. Noen kule, mye slitsomt.

Karret seg så vidt opp

No superlative can give this album the credit it deserves. As each song comes, I think to myself "this is the best song on the album". but then the next song comes on and it hits harder and cuts deeper and more powerfully than the one before it. So it is not surprising that the best song is the last song Gouge Away which true to its name cuts deeper that all the others.

Decent album, enjoyable however some songs I felt were a lot of noise pollution or just the same thing repeatedly without much sustenance. A few songs are in rotation now and a few I want to never come across again.

Great record!

Somehow even better than I remembered it.

they always hit

Mid, too loud without enough music, just not my thing

(10/10) A delightful album <3

Surfer Rosa has a special place in my heart bc I heard that album first but I love here comes tour man, debased, wave of mutilation, hey, and my all time fav monkey gone to heaven. Great album and they so clearly influenced the best stuff I listen to

Really liked this album. Variety of sounds and rhythms.

Probably the best album in the book

Doolittle is not an album, it's a template. It is relentlessly good throughout.

i was into it until I wasn't

WOW!!!

Honestly loved it as an album, very much my vibe.

I liked it more or less, save a couple of songs, even I've expected that only one can surprise me.

Was not a fan. Don’t like talking singing style

Good upbeat energy, several deservedly big hits. Goes by quickly. It didn’t stop me in my tracks like a five star album would. But it definitely had me smiling.

I know they are critically acclaimed, but this is my second Pixies album and I can't seem to get the band.

Just so good. I was very familiar with this and Hey is one of my favourite songs of all time. The album though is just great from start to finish.

Not cohesive and a bit too abrasive

Pixies should be placed higher in music history.

Okay, not really my vibe but a few I liked

One of those albums I don’t return to often, but each time I do appreciate it more, and wonder why it’s not in my rotation more regularly. One of the most 90s sounding 80s records I’ve heard.

'No 13 Baby' is the best song here. I didn't find much value in anything else, unfortunately.

I would have been obsessed with this if I heard it when I was 13. They lull you into a false sense of security with their pop sensibilities and then burn the whole room down with the next scorching track. Love this album and it is still stuck in my head.

liked it

So easy to see why Pixies are one of the most influential bands in all of rock. A brilliant punchy and concise album

Hmmm... I kept waiting for it to get good, or for the shoe to drop and I suddenly realise it was good all along. Oh. I was barefoot the whole time, the album was just not that good.

just aight

sucha good and fun album. the sound of the pixies is so specific, so "pulp fiction comic book mexican food grungy ecstacy" Is so easy to hear some of the best songs from them and the other ones are so fun and chill to listen

The Pixies are definitely one of the original alternative bands that influenced a ton of other artists, bands and music genres even. For those of you saying this album is all over the place and the screaming is too much, well welcome to Alternative Rock. I won't say this album is the best that has ever been but it is a very good album front to back. Things that set it apart is the fact that some songs are driven off the lyrics and vocals, where others are purely the instruments pushing the envelope. Album gets a sold 4 from me and I have listened to it many times and will continue to when the need arises.

A little to rocky for me, but I like “here comes your man”

"Monkey Gone to Heaven" 10/10

TL;DR: Pixies corral disparate influences and unhinged lyrics into some of the best indie-rock ever made. A contender for the best album of the 80s. BEFORE: An all-time favourite. I've literally seen them play the whole thing live in concert. Twice. I'll listen to it again for posterity but it's an easy 5. AFTER: This is an all-time great album - indie-rock or otherwise. Musically, this covers a lot of ground and all of it comes off. Come for the catchy singles, stay for the uninhibited experimentalism. The band is on top form - Frank Black's songwriting and unhinged vocals, Kim Deal's melodic bass and backing vocals, Joey Santiago's guitar covering surf rock, no wave and everything in between and Dave Lovering's tight but inventive drumming holding everything down. It's weird, angry, sad, funny, transgressive and totally compelling. The production is perfect - raw but thoughtful enough to let everything shine. HIGHLIGHTS: This album is one long, unrelenting highlight. Debaser lets you know what you're letting yourself in for, being both catch and insane. Here Comes Your Man is as close as the Pixies get to straight pop. Some of the best tracks here are the album cuts - the stately Wave of Mutilation, the genuinely unnerving Mr. Grieves', No. 13 Baby's glorious outro, every second of Hey, the sinister Gouge Away. Even when they're taking the piss on La La Love You and Silver the end result is incredible. And even with 15 tracks veering wildly across genres, it's all done and dusted in under 40 minutes. LOWLIGHTS: Fuck off. VERDICT: The sky is blue, grass is green and this is still a perfect, 5 star album.

Good, solid album with fun beats. Pixies are one of my dad’s favorite bands and I had listened to this album before. Not his favorite of the Pixies, though, so I’m excited when those pop up in the generator.

Ei oo mun musaa mutta arvostan musiikillisesti.

A bit of a mixed bag. To me it sounds like a Jack White album, even though this is of course quite a bit older. There is a bit of everything in it, lots of it good but also some misses. 3/5

Easy 5, so good Will I listen to again: 100%

if the devil is 6

I've bought this album twice. Still can't puzzle out why I don't like it...

2.3/5

Una cumbre indiscutible del rock alternativo y el indie contemporáneo que ha envejecido bien como una lección magistral de dinamismo, contrastes extremos y composición pop vanguardista. En el plano de diseño formal, la producción de Gil Norton logra una arquitectura instrumental que da claridad absoluta a cada pasaje, articulando el estallido de guitarras filosas, líneas de bajo directas y arreglos de cuerdas con una nitidez y un balance dinámico impecables. La interacción interpretativa desborda una fuerza y calidez que transmiten autenticidad sin concesiones, imponiendo una autoridad superior a través de la tensión entre el desgañite visceral de Black Francis y la dulzura melódica de Kim Deal. Piezas fundamentales como la apertura arrolladora de "Debaser", la luminosidad accesible de "Here Comes Your Man", la mística ecológica de "Monkey Gone to Heaven", el diálogo emotivo de "Hey" y la fuerza final de "Gouge Away" configuran un documento conmovedor, crudo y real que opera como un sutil llamado a la conciencia sobre las obsesiones humanas, la relación con el entorno y la vulnerabilidad psicológica. Una obra de energía inagotable cuya constante sensación de paz y fluidez dentro del estruendo la vuelve sumamente versátil para múltiples usos, destacando como un catalizador formidable para acompañar el ejercicio, la conducción o potenciar el trabajo creativo.

One of the best albums of the alternative rock genre. Amazing from start to finish 5 stars for each side =10 stars

What an album! Some of the Pixies' most radio-friendly treats are here: "Debaser," "Here Comes Your Man," "Wave of Mutilation," "Monkey Gone to Heaven." But they're interspersed with loud, uncomfortable songs that make use of Frank Black's incredible screams, like "Tame" and "Crackity Jones." You never know what to expect from song to song, or even within single songs. They zig when you think they're going to zag. Rock critics describe Pixies songs as "Loud-Quiet-Loud" but the variability between and within songs is so much more than that. It's interesting, it's great to sing along to, it helps you let out your teenage angst, it gets you strutting when you're walking down the street listening to the cassette in your Walkman.

This was even better than I remembered. I don’t think there is a bad track on it with every track serving a purpose. There is a decent change of pace and enough variety to ensure that it whizzes by. Genius.

All killer, no filler. From front to back this rattles through with hooks galore. Some of The Pixies’ best songs feature here (‘monkey gone to heaven’, ‘hey’, ‘gouge away’) and it manages to walk the line between pseudo jangle pop and noise rock brilliantly, like it could fall apart at the seams without too much of a push but stays on the tightrope.

This album was amazing. I tried listening to some of it a bit ago but for some reason it didn't click with me. This time around I immediately loved it from the first track Debaser. The bass in this album is incredible and I love how each track is so different yet cohesive. Another thing I love about this album is how the meaning of the song always takes a turn you didn't expect. My favourite tracks: Debaser, Wave of Mutilation, I Bleed, Here Comes Your Man, Monkey Goes to Heaven, Mr.Grieves, Hey, and Gouge Away

I wasn't feeling this album at first but then I got more and more into it as it went along. There's a handful of really iconic tracks here and the rest, overall, contribute a lot to the Pixies sound. I probably can't go any higher than three stars on this album due to that slow start, but aside from a few edges which are left just a little too rough it is a pretty solid album. Favorite track: "Monkey Gone to Heaven," although "Wave of Mutilation" and "Silver" stood out as new-to-me tracks as well.

Too many genres on one album for me.

I love the first 5 songs. Wave of Mutilation is a personal favorite of mine. The shift starting with dead really leaves me wanting.

Debaser: sk8r boi's version of "There She Goes" 7/10 Tame: omfg why are we screaming bloody murder 3/10 Wave: thank god some 2000s Disney teen movie intro. wait what are you singing about 5/10 I Bleed: keep bleeding brother 2/10 nice final 50 seconds tho Here Comes Your Man: STAND in the place where you WERE! oh nevermind. Dead: maybe I'm not in the mood for this music right now. when is this album over Monkey: ew 10mil pounds of sludge mr. grieves: hm not my cuppa, didn't finish

This feels like a bunch of songs that belong on different albums. I want to love it because it inspired so many of my fav bands and artists but it's not quiiiiite four stars for me.

Really into the feel of this. Makes me want to go do a crossword at my local low-lit haunt with the sticky floors and cheap deals on draft. People are definitely smoking indoors in this fantasy too. Obsessed with any lead singer who likes to scream and get real silly with it.

Debaser? I hardly know ‘er! I enjoyed this! I only listened once and it probably isn’t something I’d go back to over and over but I love all the goofy stuff he’s doing with his voice, it’s so fun when singers do goofy voices. Second act montage needle drop in my biopic: “Here Comes Your Man”

Honestly, maybe I don't appreciate music well but this just sounded like noise to me. It was pretty annoying and I did not finish listening to it

this one is soooooooooo close to a five for me i’m just not sure yet so. 4. but i love this album it fucking rocks, i like that some songs are hard as fuckk and others a little more traditionally indie,

Started half listening to this on the train home yesterday and debaser had me immediately locked in, put it both earbuds, big respect, felt like someone was singing to me from cupped hands, after that the songs were a bit hit or miss but it was a really neat listen as a band that you can tell has been the source material for a bunch of other bands. Did not realize they were the band that sang "here comes your man" and got some whiplash from them going into a doo wop song. They Have the Range! shoutout too to Silver for its twang. Likelihood that the members of this band have lezzed out IMO: 3/5 im kinda getting some vibes from these guys and I can't explain it but i'm seeing something here

coolest band ever . i love you kim deal love doolittle i want to listen to it one million times. as soon as i hear the debaser intro im like fuck yeah baby yeehaw i feel like there’s something for everyone on this record, it’s clearly influenced so many artists from the 90s onward …. mitski …??……….. favorites are monkey gone to heaven, la la love you, silver 4.5/5 egg bread yogurt soyrizo

enjoyed it, bit heavy for me in places but enjoyed the more mellow tracks

goon to heaven

Wish I'd come across this sooner

cool cool me gusto

The vocals didn't really do it for me. Maybe this genre is an acquired taste that I definitely haven't acquired yet. But yeah, not a huge fan of this. Instrumentals were fire though. PF: Silver

3 sterne

C'était plutôt sympathique ! Le rock qualifié d'indépendant ou d'alternatif ne me parle pas, généralement. Mais ceci était plutôt jovial, avec souvent un côté un peu punk fort agréable. Contrairement à certains groupes de ces genres que je trouve trop propres ou trop gentillet, les Pixies n'hésitent pas à régulièrement envoyer la purée. Donc ouais, c'était pas franchement mon truc, mais j'ai pas passé un mauvais moment.

Hugely influential and, for it's time at least, underrated album. Favorite track: Here Comes Your Man

A really good album. I liked it a lot. Some of the songs are a bit strange... but the good ones are really good, and once you get used to the sound... then you see.

9.5/10 Top echelon stuff. Maybe perfect, I can't decide

I actually really like this album. The songs have some good hooks, they're a bit weird without getting too unlistenable, the loud/quiet dynamic catches your attention. It's pretty easy to see why Kurt Cobain and others liked this band so much.

Not new to me. Good album. It’s no Dire Straits

This is a VERY fun album. Love the grunginess/punkiness to it. Just the right amount of distortion too Highlight: Here Comes Your Man, Gouge Away

Not a perfect album, but when it hits, it hits. Great production and a varied mix of tones. 4.5/5.

Pixies were another of those bands I’d always heard about but never gotten around to listening to. I really enjoyed Doolittle, it felt just like listening to 1990s alternative-rock radio and I regret not checking them out sooner. They would fit perfectly alongside other ’90s bands like Smashing Pumpkins and Nirvana.

Perfectly balances the raw sound of their debut with a more radio friendly sheen. And just some amazing tunes on here. Also haven’t given Gouge Away enough credit as a closer before!

Despite so many years of being a rock girlie, all I know about Pixies is "Where is My Mind." Sooooo... this is a solid way to kick off this album listening project. (And hey, TIL they're from Boston. Also Black Francis graduated from Westport High and won a "Teenager of the Year" award? lol) So I'm coming in extremely blind, only knowing the name and the influence. This is not what I expected them to sound like. I think I expected something heavier. But I was really happily surprised by all the genre bending -- surf pop, punk, and oh wait is that reggae/ska? I don't know how often I'll return to it, but I'm hearing how foundational they are to the 90s alternative scene and a lot of other bands I've loved. Some Related TBLs: - Nirvana - Nevermind (finally? because they cite this as an influence and I have never listened to it. I was just a little too young for the grunge movement.) - The Breeders - Last Splash (bassist Kim Deal's follow up all female alt band. I do love it when the girls make rock music) Standout Tracks + First Impressions: - Debaser - the sound grabbed me out the of the gate - Wave of Mutilation - the jauntiest surf bop about overworked Japanese businessmen dying by suicide, geez. - Here Comes Your Man - oh, this is a fun vibe. I won't look up the lyrics to find out if it's super dark yet ha. I like the vocal interplay between the two lead singers. - La La Love You - mostly instrumental, groovy vibe, nice bass line and guitar noodling, and maybe even a touch of new wave? - Silver - is just a little bit weird and feels like a spaghetti western? I'm into it.

this album is a masterpiece, it’s weird and cool and perfect in every way

Have I listened to this album before No How familiar am I with this album A little familiar How do I feel about this artist? Pretty neutral Pre-Listen Thoughts: This is another one of many bands where I know/enjoy the few songs the radio plays, but I have never actually listened. I could come out a huge fan or stay neutral. I predict 4 stars. Favorite track(s): I Bleed Post-Listen Thoughts: I liked it, I think I know some of their later stuff more but this was good.

It’s like … good. I wouldn’t say great. I love the bass tone a lot. Some of the guitar can be annoying, but undoubtedly creative and influential.

Un des meilleurs à date.

"Debaser" is, to me, the quintessential Pixies song. This album is great.

New to you?: New - never heard of the band or album! Fave tracks: Here comes your man, Crackity Jones Notes: Felt like a mix of Jeff Buckley, The Beatles, and then some rocky bits and bobs (names escape me it seems...!) Great first venture into the world of the pixies. Would you listen again?: Yes Rating: 7/10

Great album. Some of their best songs on here, and just overall a great listening experience.

good

95/100

Good album. A few classics and some nice surprises.

❤️ Dragged on a bit, but good. Thx ❤️

The Pixies were extremely influential, and definitely deserve inclusion on this list. I think this might be my favorite album by the group as it includes the most songs that I knew previously and really like ("Hey", "Wave of Mutilation", "Here Comes Your Man", "Monkey Gone to Heaven", "Mr. Grieves", "Gouge Away").

Classic

I can understand liking this, it's just not my cup of tea

I have this, but not played for ages, saw them live in 1980s with Kim Deal, awesome, Monkey gone to heaven stand out track

Justifiably considered one of the great albums of the alternative rock scene rising from the ashes of the post-punk world in the late 80's, this is a phenomenal record that really stretches the band and the listener.

First listen to this album. Enjoyable.

Every time I listen to this album I'm thinking "Why don't I listen to this more often?", then I get to the second half of the album and I just don't care for it.

Not bad

I have a teaching colleague who is a huge fan of this band and, despite not really knowing who they were as a student, they became known to me as the prototype for Nirvana and there can be no doubt that this album's opening track has a similar groove and progression to 'smells like teen spirit'. The singles are fairly tuneful and there are quirks and contrasts that make them interesting, but I can't really get my heard around Francis Black's shouting vocal style in some of the songs. The production to my ears doesn't really support too many extremes. Not awful but not essential either.

Me gustó, lo quiero volver a escuchar con auriculares, tal vez más atento incluso... la voz tan gritada es algo que no me convence tanto pero es un sólido 4/5

The cover is a bit weird but in a very interesting way. I've only heard one song by them which is Is She Weird. My first thought is that the lyrics of Debaser and Tame remind me of Nirvana lyrics, the way the vocalist sings also reminds me of Kurt Cobain's chaotic way of singing. Not much to say about Wave of Mutilation but I really liked the lyrics. I really like the mix of the feminine voice with the masculine voice in I Bleed. Here Comes Your Man reminded me of There's a Light that never goes out by The Smiths I'm not sure why Interesting production in Dead, I like the way his voice sounds, I don't know how to explain, it's like it's from an old muffled audio. I love the guitar in Monkey Gone To Heaven and again his vocals remind me of Kurt Cobain's especially in the album Bleach. Mr Grieves is fun, reminds me of dancing alone in my room with headphones on. I like the production change in the chorus and at the end Not sure what my opinion on Crackity Jones is on a first listen but it's definitely an interesting sound. I think La La Love You might be my favorite on first listen. I love the production and the mellow (? Not sure if it's the right word) vocals. Reminds me of The Cure's Kiss Me. No 13 Baby it's the moment I realized how much they use Spanish words in their songs not sure why it didn't stand out to me before, maybe one of them has Spanish as their first language? Or maybe it's a artistic choice, anyway I like the song and especially the production. There Goes My Gun is like a mix of Nirvana and Mother Mother to me I don't know how to explain, I like the production and again there's a feminine voice which makes the song more funky (?) And I really like that. Hey is a bit tense in the beginning/end and groovy at the "We are chained" bit. I like the guitar/bass (not sure). Silver reminds me of Cowboy movies, like I can picture the beginning of those old Wild West movies with this song playing in the background. Gouge Away again reminds me of Nirvana, I'm beginning to wonder if maybe Nirvana was inspired by them or maybe just this album? Not sure but I like it. Theres a tension to the production which it's like they are building up to the chorus, very nice!

Five stars without any hesitation Some days this is my favourite Pixies album. Some days it is Surfer Rosa. I don’t think I have to choose. Doolittle is not perfect – I find the wolf-whistling La La Love You quite inane – but it is stuffed full of exciting tunes and fervently daft lyrics. Deal’s bass builds much of the framework while Santiago’s guitar is more for emphasis, but really effective emphasis. The songs are full of urgency, which makes the one exception stand out when they let the outro to No 13 Baby develop more gradually. That is a rare pause for breath. The album begins and ends with two absolute killers – the demented sugar rush of Debaser, and Gouge Away, which might still be my favourite. Gouge Away gives a good example of something I think Pixies did better than many of their quiet/loud imitators, as the bursts of howling guitar are clearly anticipated by the spidery licks preceding them. Some bands lurch abruptly into the loud part as a jump scare. Pixies normally gave you fair warning, which made their dynamics cohere much better

groundbreaking, incredibly influential album. more or less made the foundation for the entire grunge genre. 4/5.

Superb. 90s grunge, rock, alt rock owes a lot to pixies.

So easy to see why Pixies are one of the most influential bands in all of rock. A brilliant punchy and concise album

Bellissimo album, io credo che però sia un album da metabolizzare

The first time I heard Debaser, I was flat out terrified. I remember that vividly but I couldn't tell you why. Certainly I hadn't really heard anything like it before. Certainly comparatively it was unhinged and feral. But it was also kind of addictive. Eventually I had to come back to it. Eventually I had to come to Doolittle on the whole. By that time I think I was more ready, because let's be real, Tame is more ominous, Dead is more ominous, Silver sounds like the squeaky wagon of the dead. But Debaser was the drug. It's not like I didn't know Here Comes Your Man or Monkey Gone to Heaven, though I didnt immediately know them as Pixies songs. But the thing that made Doolittle so integral, what made me immediately love it when i heard it, was that it was familiar but like nothing else, too. It doesn't feel dangerous now, but I can still tap into that. It is wildly melodic and also animalistic. It is a masterclass in the importance of the bass (and it is a terribly kept secret as to how important Kim Deal is). It is weird. Frank Black Francis is a weird dude. This is him at peak creative weirdness. He's never put out a better album, and he's put out a lot of albums. It's really the genesis of what would become 90s songwriting… listen to the lyrics of Here Comes Your Man, and tell me that that isnt the Surrealistic imagery that defined 90s rock. Or at least, tell me when you're done belting “you never WAIT so LOOOOOONG” We might not know this album if Kurt Cobain was not so enamored with them. We might not know Cobain if this album hadn't happened. The Pixies aesthetic is so complete that even what could be seen as non-songs are still classics (crackity Jones, Mr Grieves, and There Goes My Gun, which has always been a weird fave of mine). A seedy underbelly with an occasional surf-punk veneer. A leering sexuality simmering in places. The discord of Joey's guitar and Kim's bass, Kim's voice and Frank's wail. I don't know that this is an album that everyone would embrace on first listen, but it's one that becomes part of you. Easy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A whole new sound, never heard anything like it. Guitar and drums were amazing throughout the whole album, and the vocals were so heavy hitting and raw, but still well done. Very good album.

I find it insane that both Pixies and Sonic Youth have female bass players named Kim. I'll give this a mid 4

A good album, i liked I Bleed and Mr Grieves the most.

2/5, was alright. Listened to it twice. No standouts all background music for me.

Not my cup of tea

It was okay. I feel like I should have liked it more.

Diverse

Occasionally musical, albeit probably accidentally. The lyrics are typical nihilistic trash of the genre. Was going to give it a plus 1 for having the decency to come in sub-40 minutes, but never has 39 minutes felt like a life time.

Idk why but debaser singer singing like he in his own garage or bathroom singing this song.

8/10 Love me some Pixies.

OK

Solid album, just not quite 5 star material

4.5

Bardzo bardzo fajne. Na 4

Yeah! Pixies - Doolittle! This album is a landmark in my musical journey into alternative music. I still remember seeing the Pixies on Dutch television, with Black Francis scratching his guitar with a Coca-Cola can. It was a massive turning point for me at a time when I mainly listened to bigger mainstream acts like Dire Straits, The Police, Pink Floyd, and Bruce Springsteen. After discovering their explosive, catchy mix of alternative rock, surf, and punk, the floodgates opened—leading me straight to bands like Nirvana, The Smashing Pumpkins, and Sonic Youth. I’ve probably listened to this album hundreds of times, and I genuinely love every single second of it. It’s the perfect balance: Kim Deal’s driving basslines paired with David Lovering’s thumping drums, topped with the chaotic, distorted guitar riffs of Black Francis and Joey Santiago. Timeless, noisy perfection and an absolute 5/5.

I really tried with this album, but it was just not for me. The first half of the album was hard to get through, and I couldn't wait until it was over. The only songs I liked were “ Here Comes Your Man” and “ Monkey Gone to Heaven.”

Entre 2 et 3

Brutal. I thought that Pixies were actually good. I've been mislead all my life. Insanely close to a 1, maybe I'm generous today

An alternative rock masterpiece.

The Pixies were not really on my radar during their heyday so this was a welcome surprise. I picked up Surfer Rosa a year ago on a whim and while I liked a few songs it wasn’t enough for me to explore them further. Had I listened to this first, I would have probably had a different reaction to the band. This was great! Not all of it worked for me and Frank Blacks vocals wore on me a little bit but wow this record had energy. I can absolutely see how it influenced many musicians. Will definitely add this to my collection. 4 stars

Solid noise rock album that does not ignore hooks or melodies. “Here Come Your Man” is an all-timer.

Classic Pixies

Loved this album for a long-ass time, continue to love it, it’s got such high energy and every song’s a snap unless they really hit something good to play with long (the long outro of No 13 Baby gets me every time) and it still doesn’t really quite sound like anything else. Just sort of a perfected version of their idiosyncratic pop-not-pop rock. Makes me want to pick up a bass guitar or drums again honestly, exactly the right level of deceptively simple but great sounding.

The legendary Pixies - with an album that I don't like.

Very enjoyable. Vocals were a bit gruff but worked well with the music. I’d come back for most of this record. 4.5/5

clásico

Stone cold classic! I was late to the party with the Pixies having my first experience being the epic final scene in Fight Club. Make of that what you will, but it triggered a dive into their music that I otherwise might have never had. These guys are responsible for so much of the music I was already listening to and their influence continues to barrel on to this day.

I liked this one

highlights: debaser wave of mutilation here comes your man monkey gone to heaven

A great album that brings back fond memories, and still holds up remarkably well today as a pioneering noise rock record. I wasn't that much into it back in the days, but revisiting it decades later, I can now fully appreciate what a killer album it is. It sounds so modern it's hard to imagine this was created in 1989. Punk and garage vibes with a touch of melancholy, noisy experimentations and pop songs subverted by demented screams are right up my alley. The album is also impressively consistent : there isn't a single weak song despite a very diverse tracklist, and its unique musical identity remains obvious 35 years after its release. A tough call between a 4 and a 5. It's not truly among my cult albums, but I may still bump it up later just because it's so well-crafted. 8/10

Coming out the same year than yesterday’s damn outdated Rythme nation 1814 from Janet Jackson, Doolittle is nothing less than one of the rare 80s albums that has aged without losing an ounce of its impact. Brilliantly written, creative, and consistently inspired. And yet, it is not even better than their next and previous album Bossa nova or Surfer Rosa. What a band! Among the most influential albums in rock history. Yes Sir!

Very nice. Went down a Pixies rabbit hole. How did I miss all this great punk music in the 80’s?

Not knowingly heard anything by them before. Was pleasantly impressed. If the vocals had been less punk-y, was almost a 5.

A little frenetic at times but I enjoyed it more than the last one. Sadly will not revisit but was listenable.

Like it 3/5

good early Pixies! No dust here!

Doolittle is a really great album! I like it a lot! I do think it's a tad bit overrated, though. Its influence is undeniable - so many grunge artists would likely not exist if not for the Pixies paving the way for thim, and 'Doolittle' is probably my favorite of theirs I've heard, but I'm generally not a fan of pretty short albums which are primarily a bunch of shorter songs, and 'Doolittle' is kind of exactly that. Still, the best songs do elevate this to being excellent - 'Debaser' is an all-timer when it comes to album openers, the riff on 'Here Comes Your Man' is one of my all-time favorites, and 'Monkey Gone To Heaven' is one of the best rock songs of the 90s. In terms of the non-singles... 'Tame' is a super fun swerve into noise rock, 'No.13 Baby' has a great hook to it, 'Gouge Away' is pretty excellent, but the rest is just kind of really solid without standing out too much for me.

Another mind-blowingly cool album! This album just rocks… it’s weird and edgy and has this great energy. I just want to crank it up! This one is a little more refined than Surfa Rosa, but it loses nothing with the polish. I’ve also loved the artwork on this cover too. I think when I reviewed Surfa Rosa I wrote about how influential Pixies were to the grunge scene (Nirvana) and other genres as well. And that’s clear on this record too. On my list of all-time favs for sure. An easy 5.

I’d only heard a few tracks by Pixies, so I was intrigued to hear the album seen as their masterpiece, and I was glad that it lived up to expectations. The five highlights for my money are pretty well spread out across the album, with the punkier Debaser a great start. The jangly Here Comes Your Man at track five, followed by a moodier Monkey Gone to Heaven and a return to janglier sounds on Mr Grieves, exemplifying well the band’s ’quiet-loud’ approach. Overall, it’s striking on how one level you can pick up cross pollination with contemporaries like REM and Sonic Youth, but also the bands that immediately follow (esp. Nirvana), and even sounds even further down the road. So much of this sounds like it could be an indie album from 2026, it really does sound ahead of its time. A great listen.

A really solid but uneven alternative rock album. Uneven because all the standout tracks come in the first half, ‘Debaser’, ‘Wave of Mutilation’, ‘Here Comes Your Man’ and ‘Monkey Gone to Heaven’ being the pick of the bunch. By contrast, while there are no real duds, some tracks from the second half, while still good, didn’t do a lot for me (‘La La Love You’ and ‘Hey’ for two examples). With its ‘quite-loud’ dynamics and grungy guitars/vocals (perhaps most clearly demonstrated on ‘Tame’), the influence it had on the likes of Kurt Cobain is very apparent. Decent 4 stars.

Good album I’ve never listened to front to back!! I knew i’d like it, and I see why it’s such an influence for so many bands. It reminded me of weezer, even i know that relationship goes the other way around! Fav tracks: I bleed, Monkey gone to heaven, No 13 baby

Jeden z mojich najobľúbenejších, takže nekriticky 5

Great alternative rock! The bass really sticks out on most of the songs. Favourites: Here Comes Your Man, Monkey Gone To Heaven, Debaser and Wave of Mutilation

It's the musical equivalent of a chihuahua. Subtle as a freight train, and fancies itself as massive and hard-hitting, but really it's just a 10lb little shit that you could punt 50 yards if you felt inclined.

Repeat listen

Did not enjoy this one much. I can see the influences on the emo/screamo movement a bit, but overall did not enjoy much of this.

Always heard the name, but I never listened to Pixies until now. I feel like as a general music fan this is a band and an album I'm *supposed* to like. After listening through it I can say that I don't. I get that its influential but something about it just did not click for me. There seemed to be this pretentious aura in each song. Like I was some how less than because I wasn't "getting it." I know this is a me problem and not meant to describe any interactions I've had with Pixies fans (cause I haven't had any). If I can say something positive...I did enjoy "Here Comes Your Man." Not the worst I've heard, but far from the best. 2/5

Fuuuck. My second Pixies pull, their second studio album, and the release I have absolutely hated until now. I listened to Doolittle five years ago and thought it was complete horseshit. Terrible music, terrible vocals and aggravatingly shitty, airheaded songwriting. That being said, "Where Is My Mind?" from their previous album was pretty neat, so these guys could have it in em to redeem themselves. I have nothing else to say, so I might as well get into this one. Here goes. I gave this album a 1/10 out on my music cataloguing profile. Right up there with Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors and TPaB. I really fucking hated this thing, huh? I hate not longer, fortunately. The slacker style of Pixies still bugs me, though I'm capable of seeing the merit in this album. The guitars have a nice, humming sound to them during the quiet parts and I favour the rough, jittery sounds during the livelier stretches. Frank Black is an adept vocalist, though I'm still not sold on his lyrical style or songwriting chops. A lot of his lyrics and vocal melodies sound AI generated in how scattershot and directionless they are, which adds an insipid element to the music that pushes me away. The album also does that annoying thing where it jams a bunch of songs into a relatively short runtime, making the listening experience fatiguing despite its 38-minute duration. All in all, I thought this album was an adept, albeit tiresome listen. I don't really feel tempted to revisit it, however. I know this album is a big deal, so I'm not going to go scrounging around the book and Wikipedia for reasons as to why this album is in here. I cosign this inclusion.

After all this time, I've finally gotten to the Pixies' "masterpiece." Doolittle is one of the most revered rock albums of the 1980s. It's seen by many as being way ahead of the curve on the alternative rock sound and very few albums of its time match Doolittle in sheer influence. How do I feel about the album after listening to it? It's great! I will say that I'm probably not as in love with it as everyone else, but it's still an awesome album. Everything that people have said about the album is true. The production is sick as hell. Very dynamic. It's good. The genre diversity is a lot stronger than I was expecting it to be. I had an idea of what to expect for a Pixies album seeing as I've already gotten Bossanova and Surfer Rosa, but I was impressed by how varied this album's songs are. Speaking of songs, the album's got some cool ones. Nothing quite on the level of "Where is My Mind?" but still some bangers nonetheless. "Debaser" is a cool opener. "Here Comes Your Man" is pretty catchy while still being a little on the darker side lyrically. "Monkey Gone to Heaven" and "Hey" are great. Even the more experimental tracks are fun in some regards. It's a good sign when the album's quirkier tracks like "Mr. Grieves" and "Crackity Jones" are still as good as they are. Frank Black's energy is astounding and the band's playing is on point! The lyrics take in a bunch of unique inspirations and the more surreal nature of it all create an album unlike any other. And of course, the influence of this album can be heard in just about any alt-rock band of the past 40 years. I mean, it's Doolittle! I shouldn't have to tell you that this album is great. I've heard it and you should too. 5/5.

Asså det var ganska konstig musik. Det var inte direkt dåligt men det var konstigt och i alla fall inte bra. Jag har inte jättemycket att säga, den var ganska mid och jag vet inte. Konstig as I've said. Av mig får den 2/5

Classic

I think I recognize a few of these tracks by title, but otherwise I haven't listened to this album start-to-finish. I quite enjoyed this. It's just classic and again laid the groundwork for a lot of music that followed.

This was a strange album for me. I was rocking with it and then it just started to make me feel anxious. I don’t know at what point the songs started to sound like just a bunch of sounds but I did really like here comes your man and monkey go to heaven.

Another great Pixies album. I have to accept that they're just one of my favorite bands and need to listen to them more. 4/5

been waiting to listen to this album for years so i was glad this project finally got me off my ass and allowed me to hear the whole thing. honestly a really solid album, i like pixies tracks here and there so the whole album worked for me. good stuff

I'd probably give it a 4.5 if I could. My main issue is the first song is the best song so the rest of it seems relatively worse, but it's still really good so I'll round up.

Exactly my kind of thing, would be 4.5 if possible.

Ist geil - Macht Spaß

There's a lot to like on here. Obvious influence for '90s grunge (specifically Nirvana). Less "noisy" than I expected.

I bought this record a fair while ago on a complete whim, and on being aware of the high regard that Pixies are held in. I think prior to today I'd played it once, where I thought it was OK but didn't feel overly compelled to revisit. I've been looking forward to re-evaluating my view, and on this listen it's clicked in a big way for me. Much prefer it to the other Pixies album I've had so far in Surfer Rosa – it's far more hook-centric, catchier, generally more optimistic in tone and a bit more pleasant on the ears vocally. Good stuff, it won't be joining the clear-out pile.

very garage rock, punky, and beautiful melodies

Short sharp songs, dynamic and varied

I kept thinking, please, I hope this is the last song almost every song.

2,8 Highlights: Debaser, Here Comes Your Man

9/10 Fv song: No 13 Baby

Alle grote hits op een plaat 🤩

Easy standout amongst the Pixies albums on this list, and I’ve liked all of them (to varying degrees). It feels ahead of its time, and it clearly had a lot of influence on other alt-rock bands/artists to follow. Favorite: I Bleed, Here Comes Your Man, Silver, Gouge Away 4

Everything I hate about indie rock in one album. I didn't like the Pixies when all my friends started to listen to this boring post punk crap, I really disliked revisiting them yesterday. Definitely not for me.

There goes your man was a good song. The rest was a little harsh for me

Enjoyed this much more than Bossanova. Some good tunes on here and worth another listen.

If man is five, then the devil is six. And if the devil is six, then this album is amazing. One could even say it's seven(or God), being a massive influence on Nirvana's legendary Nevermind record.

It’s interesting bc I had heard here comes your man before and after the first 3 songs was like I don’t see how it fits the album but then listening to it again I could see it

cool

Right up my alley, but all the songs are relatively uniform and not really attention grabbing. Already knew about Here Comes Your Man.

great, of course

First Pixies album and did like it.

A truly great, defining album.

Immer wieder dick, das Ding!

Meiner Meinung nach ihr bestes Album. 9/10 für mich, aber eher 5 Sterne als 4.

Het was de eerste keer dat ik naar dit album heb geluisterd en ik moet eerlijk toegeven dat ik een beetje huiverig was na de eerste twee nummers. Echter, de rest van het album vond ik erg goed. Het voelde wat kalmer, er zat variatie in en ik vond dat het album echt een geheel vormde. Nadat ik het album volledig had geluisterd heb ik het nog een keer opgezet en toen kon ik ook de eerste twee nummers meer waarderen. Mijn favoriet is 'monkey gone to heaven'. Ik ben blij dat ik naar dit album heb geluisterd en ik denk dat ik er vaker naar ga luisteren! Ook is het leuk om over de geschiedenis te hebben gelezen en erachter te komen wat een inspiratiebron dit is geweest voor andere artiesten.

Here Comes Your Man is the first real banger from the album, but Mr. Grieves goes to an interesting sound that leads well into the drums at the beginning of La La Love You. Hey is the next hit song

Banger of an album. Really cool to hear the inspiration behind a lot of alt rock classics.

I wish I could give this 4.5 stars. It's so good. Foundational record.

Great indie rock album, the kind that gets better the more you listen and engage with it

good album

I felt like the second half of it was better for some reason. I want to like this album but wasn’t really feeling it. I appreciate it for its influence on other incredible musicians but i think it’s just not my favorite. Really nice musicianship and mixing on this!

I can see their appeal and it's not that I don't like it. But it doesn't exite me, maybe due to its age.

a little too emo for me, but I like the guitar. Here comes your man is my favorite song on the album. Would continue to listen to it. A lot of the other songs sound pretty similar to each other.

Here comes your cacophony man

Kenne ich schon. Das lief bei Fear Street, was ich mit Janne geschaut habe. Cooles Album. Habe sogar die CD und die lief auch, als wir auf dem Balkon gegrillt haben (Mama, Mike und ich)...

This is the one Pixies album that I had listened to front to back prior to making my way through the 1001 albums list. It’s a bit frontloaded in my opinion, but still a big step up from the debut.

I liked Bossanova more but it had good tracks

Well this is no less than a classic. Some weird Pixies nonsense on here at times but all in all this is the promise of the premise of the Pixies.

Some all-time Pixies classics on here ("Debaser," "Wave of Mutilation," "Here Comes Your Man," "Hey," "Gouge Away"), some inessentials ("Silver," "No. 13 Baby," "There Goes My Gun"), and deeper cuts that lie somewhere on that spectrum. Each of the Pixies first three albums is essential, though.

a bit annoying but some good ones

decent

This is one of my all time favorites. It starts off so strong with Debaser and gets better from there.

Outside my musical tastes and knowledge, but the first thing that struck me is how great this record sounds compared to other records in the genre. Excellent production. Really creative, yet fairly simple, melodies and instrumentation. Not exactly my vibe, but I can absolutely see why this is hailed as a break through record. The more listens, the better it gets. 5/5

Loved it. Loved loved loved it

4.5

Don't know why I never listened to a full album of The Pixies before, but I thought this album was great. I really like the heavier grunge songs on the album.

pretty good album. Lots of good songs, a few clunkers but overall I really enjoyed it. Would listen to it again, not sure about buying. I'll listen to it again

This project has introduced me to this band which I’d heard of but never really listened to.

THE BEST

10/10. No notes.

Never really listened to them before and I enjoyed this more than I thought. Really good combination/ balance of weird,quirky, dissonant noisey stuff with catchy songwriting and some good hooks. I can see how influential this must have been on all the 90’s alternative rock to come. Interesting varied dynamic lead vocals and I really like the sound with Kim Deal’s bgvs too.

Liked this a lot more than i thought i would. Fun listen. The last few songs were my favorite. Different vibes thoroughout but still cohesive

Fun!

Always liked the Breeders and Frank Black yet never dug into the Pixies. Cool album, wish I heard that in my formative years.

Some rock, some pop, some junk.

This might be their finest record start to finish. Genuinely wonderful.

didn't care for it but good background noise while i draw :)

decent vibes

🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑 I had big expectations for this one going into it—I knew at least "Debaser," "Wave of Mutilation," "Here Comes Your Man," and "Monkey Gone to Heaven" going in, though a couple more sounded familiar—but it did not disappoint. I knew it would be good, but I think there's a part of me that feels almost afraid of the Pixies because of their manic emotionality. "Wave of Mutilation" is one of several Pixies songs that makes me feel a little, no pun intended, debased emotionally—I feel, in the distance, a sort of trembling, confused crying that I'm afraid will come within infectious distance if I listen to more of their stuff. Like "Where is My Mind???" it's beautiful and also a little unpredictable and I think that's what sets me on edge. Fortunately, this was way more fun than it was challenging. Really consistent sound while still being creative, and it's that sound that basically defined the 90s and countless bands I love. I think the only reason this isn't a 5 is that it sort of peters out towards the end—though the songs are still fun, they're not as memorable to me. Will be listening again though. 1: Bad | 2: Okay, No Desire to Revisit | 3: Good, Conditionally (OR Inconsistent Mix of Qualities) | 4: Great (OR Technically amazing but missing the sauce emotionally) | 5: Amazing

This was so crazy and fun!!! A little scary but I liked that feeling of being scared

7 / 10

one of my favorite albums ever. perfect from start to finish

Sounds like a blueprint for many alternative rock and grudge bands .....which blows my mind ......

Classic

One of my all time favorite albums

I always thought Surfer Rosa was superior... But maybe I was wrong. This is just great pop music, with a bit of trademark quiet/loud. The way Kim Deal's voice works perfectly with Black Francis is a wonder of the modern musical age. I love it.

Yeah it was good. Well played. Little too grungy for me though.

Great album

I liked it for the most part but his voice takes some getting used to

Monkey Gone to Heaven and Hey are the standouts for me. Influenced tons of shit I love. Black Francis' vocals aren't my favorite, which keeps Pixies out of my heavy rotation, but it's a great album.

really loved this album, exploring more of Pixies Album and music

This is a loud album that wastes no time throwing the listener straight into the chaos from the very first song. I love how the songs reject conventional structures while never feeling directionless. The Pixies were well ahead of their time, and you can clearly hear how countless artists would later run because they confidently walked first. There is something mesmerizing about the way these songs erupt. The compositions are fascinating. At times minimalistic, yet always layered enough to keep things varied and rewarding. The combination of rich bass lines, screeching guitars, eerie humming, and explosive vocals captures a rebellious spirit like few other albums can. It’s an outstanding record. My favorite songs were "Tame", "Monkey Gone to Heaven", and "Gouge Away".

Cool. Short, disjointed, but well-produced and a couple of real bangers.

I didn’t hate this as much as I initially thought that I would… That being said I would never listen to this again I still strongly disliked it

surprisingly mid, but short. it is the pixies I would reach for.

All this time I swore the band's name was THE Pixies. Egg on my face, bro

An all-timer for me.

never liked a full pixies album until this one. Interesting mix of sounds, sounds well ahead of its time. Struggling to choose between 4 & 5. High 4*

It would definitely be a five if Surfer Rosa didn't exist. It's almost perfect, just wall-to-wall bangers. But "La La Love You" and "Mr Grieves" just drag it down a bit. Not bad songs by any shot, but just a little too silly amongst the big hitters

nothing much to say, this album is great and influenced some of my favourite rock music. glad to have given it a full listen finally. 4.5/5

One of my favourite groups ever, majestic

Every song on this album (apart from Silver) is amazing.

Love the pixies, and this album in particular was one of the first that really stood out to me in my youth. The last time i listened to them though was when i saw them at the Pavillion... and there was no kim.

Great album even though it loses a little steam towards the end. Would be a 4.5/5 if it had the UK Surf version of Wave of Mutilation instead.

This monkey’s gone to eat candy heaven

Fantastic record

This is good, but won’t listen to it again.

Meh. Not my jam

Solid fun. Was listening while I was painting and it was good background music. I like the instrumentation of it all and it felt oddly modern yet older. That's the late 80s for ya I guess. My favorite song off of this album is Mr. Grieves

This one is a killer album. Even the tracks that didn't do it for me (I'm looking at you "Here Comes Your Man") were good enough as filler between the other tracks. "Debaser", "Mr. Grieves", "La La Love You" were standouts that I wasn't familiar with. What a great album.

Pas terrible terrible derrière les gros titres.
