Doolittle

I was already familiar with Pixies, and I already knew the track Here Comes Your Man from this album. This is a pretty good album overall. Here Comes Your Man is probably the most pop-oriented track on the album, as it almost seems like a 60s throwback. The rest of the album is a bit darker, and very solid overall. I would listen again.

That’ll do

Orígenes del grunge Y a la vez otros estilos muy variados Un recorrido muy entretenido

This is an album that popularised quiet and calm verses with loud and energetic choruses. It's quite a noisy one at times though it is complimented heavily by pop-leaning hooks. One of the most obvious thing someone listens to a Pixies record or song is the charming frontman of the band Black Francis, who is a lot of the reason for the oddities very much present here, like the macabre lyrics, weird singing styles, and just general un-hingedness littered throughout this album. It's quite scattered with different styles, and some songs are so short which are closer to fragments but all in all it's still very rewarding to listen to. Highlight Song/s: "Debaser", "Wave Of Mutilation", "I Bleed" and "Here Comes Your Man"

C'est un style que j'aime, juste dommage que j'ai "perdu" mon temps a écouter les démos. 4*

Much harder than I expected. This album will stick with me.

7.5/10

Overall the album has good grooves, something I would jam out to for a Fourth of July party. The lyrics and subject matter are a little dark but worth a listen Top songs: Here Comes Your Man, Monkey Gone to Heaven, Gouge Away Worst songs: No 13 Baby

One of those albums that was a direct precursor to the alt rock movement explosion. It's a classic for a reason!

Some bangers! Great sound all around

4.5/5

This one has some of my favourites, but also some fillers.

The Pixies have never had the same impact on me as they have had on many other listeners. I am not entirely sure why; it isn’t the production or the vocals that miss the mark. While the music can be somewhat dissonant and abrasive at times, I enjoy other artists who utilize a similar style. The Pixies are certainly a fine band, and "Doolittle" is a fine album, but for me, neither feels essential. As for a rating, "Doolittle" just achieves four stars - it's not an album I reach for despite owning a copy for many years. 1 "Debaser" (4/5) 2 "Tame" (3/5) 3 "Wave of Mutilation" (3/5) 4 "I Bleed" (3/5) 5 "Here Comes Your Man" (4/5) 6 "Dead" (3/5) 7 "Monkey Gone to Heaven" (5/5) 8 "Mr. Grieves" (3/5) 9 "Crackity Jones" (3/5) 10 "La La Love You" (3/5) 11 "No. 13 Baby" (4/5) 12 "There Goes My Gun" (3/5) 13 "Hey" (4/5) 14 "Silver" (4/5) 15 "Gouge Away" (5/5) Total - 54 Average - 3.60 276/1001 148/276 albums reviewed were new to me

This grew on me the more I listened and Here Comes Your Man is an immensely fun track. High 3/low 4

Felt like I was immersed in another universe

cool album even if the only Pixies song i know is not on it

Nice, but not too memorable

Great fuckin album

Fifteen good tracks in 39 minutes, what’s not to like. Here Comes the Man is a great song and stands out but the rest of the album is far from filler

Frank Black’s vocals definitely take a bit of acclimatising — that yelp is an acquired taste — but once you settle into it, the personality becomes part of the charm. There are genuine classics scattered throughout: “Debaser” kicks the door in, “Wave of Mutilation” is effortless alt‑rock perfection, and “Here Comes Your Man” brings a jangle‑pop sweetness that balances the chaos elsewhere. Even the weirder cuts feel like they’re pushing the edges in interesting ways. Not every track is essential, but the highs are so influential and so fun that it’s easy to see why Doolittle is a cornerstone of alternative rock.

I listened to this album at the security desk as my coworker listened to political podcasts very loudly right next to me. Based solely on Where Is My Mind?, I had a very different expectation as to what kind of band the Pixies were. I had been envisioning a lighter and lower tempo sound, only for Doolittle to lean heavily into screaming punk aesthetics that absolutely floored me. The sound of the Pixies varies from one song to the next, hitting different facets of this gruff and fuzzy rock sound they're doing for, and while certain songs connect with me more, the entire album flows together like one chaotic mass of energy. Typically it is the choruses and hooks which pull me out of certain songs, as some of these moments don't quite hit the songwriting highs that I experienced across the rest of the album; however, everything around these moments is still more than enough to buoy the entire album and keep it afloat. Like a lot of punk rock, it suffers from the natural conclusion of complete creative freedom: some of your weird creative swings get really really weird to the point of being a little inaccessible. There is a looseness to all the songs here, moving back and forth between emotional rawness and silly lyrical concepts, united by a clear ethos to create whatever the band wanted to create no matter what; this tracklist will shift from a heavy near-emo moment like I Bleed to an almost-pastiche of early surf rock with Here Comes Your Man. Through all these different, sounds Doolittle is a beautiful and varied sampler of what magic the Pixies are capable of. Highlights: Debaser, Tame, Here Comes Your Man, Dead, Mr. Grieves, La La Love You, No 13 Baby, Hey, Gouge Away

Great album, makes you feel like you’re in an introduction sequence of a 2002 comedy/feel good movie, while also feeling like you’re at the end of the school year and you’re starting a new life

Pixies, not everyone believes in them, I always knew they were real but I'd never seen or heard them until now. Or at least I hadnt realised I had. Of course "Here Comes Your Man" had not escaped my cultural education, but I didnt know who i was hearing. That oversite has been remedied now thank goodness. These guys are know for their Loud Quiet Loud song structures, they ooze 90s alt rock but they also sound more mature than that in some ways, tons of influence from earlier decades. But the vocal approach is pure 90s, really experimental. 'Tame' has whispers and explosions, 'Debaser' snarles and yowls. Both incredible songs by the way. Later in the record 'Silver' creaks, crows and sirens, in a not altogether experiment which one has to assume was deliberately off-putting. This one did have me checking the tracklisting to see how much of the album was left. Thankfully 'Gouge Away' kicks away those misgivings with an atmospheric and cool as fuck closer to the album right after. Silver aside i do have a vague feeling that I preferred the first half of the record, I think they frontloaded the bangers a little. But I liked it so much that I'll be putting it on again right away to really examine that. This is a fucking cool album. The most familiar reference point for the record musically and lyrically has got to be The White Stripes. The influences are so baked in, they obviously owe the Pixies a debt. Vocally, thematically and most explicitly texturally with the guitar arrangments and general textures used throughout the songs and album. In terms of vocal delivery i hear it in Jack White, and in Win Butler of Arcade Fire, who you can also tell must have been Pixies fans. It's so nice to discover the influences of your own musical foundations.

The Pixies are one of those bands that all of my favorite bands cite as a major influence. Listening through this album, I can definitely understand why. They may not be a personal favorite of mine, but their influence on 90s and 00s rock is undeniable.

Solid 90's album! This album always reminds me of college radio in the late 80's and early 90's. It was a precursor of what was to come, which I loved.

Back to back Pixies was a generator surprise. This is pretty great all the way through—and to my ears, pushing the boundaries of what pop was at that time.

You can definitely feel the influence this album had on the genre. I’ve listened to this once before and wasn’t crazy on it the first time but I preferred this listen for sure

The big songs on here are a way above some of the lesser known ones, but there’s plenty of big songs on here, so it’s class

It's taken about 8 years but I finally get it

Not as great as my first time listening but still very good. The heavy hitters are amazing and Hey is one of my favorite songs ever. But theres a few I dont really care for. 8.

Yeah this is an excellent record I would say, aside from a couple skips which is why I would not give it the full five stars, but like I said, I love this record, I mean how could I not! I would give it 4.5 stars if I could though. Yeah from the catchy and sometimes soothing melodies to the screaming and aggression this record does nothing but keep me intrigued and fuelling me with dopamine. I mean slicing up eyeballs is a line I can’t get enough of! I love Black Francis as a front man on this and I like the bass playing a lot, partly why some songs are so catchy and groovy. Yes the raw energy and enjoyabilty can’t be denied. Kind of grungeish icl. But for indie rock that is. It’s also entertaining. Even some of the filler is catchy and enjoyable to me🤷‍♂️It seems like there’s a variety of stuff going on too, just to add to the maintaining my interest strength that this thing has.

Weird but oddly good vocals I really like here your man

Has real highlights. A mate loved Pixies at school but I never really got it. Enjoyed this now though.

Great mix of catchy alt rock with weird angry proto grunge. Great songwriting and production. Classic.

this is almost too close to a generic rock album that i would disparage but pixies have a solidly unique sound. some great songs here! but maybe i'm saying this because it's pixies

I was excited through the first half as I was enjoying just about every song. Is this going to be the Pixies album that I finally enjoy almost completely? Then the second half hits and the fun stops. Ah yes, classic Pixies. Real great songs and real dreck. That first half puts it up there as my favorite Pixies album on this list. Of the three albums listed you could probably get one really great album from this band. So it goes

Musical genius to make these erratic songs work.

This is my first time listening to the Pixies (kinda nervous) and honestly? My younger self would have enjoyed this so much. I would have been so damn annoying and pretentious about the Pixies because they feel kinda edgy. This goes for her, cheers. 7/10.

Here Comes Your Man is soso good. I love that song the most but I've heard it previously. I really enjoyed this album fully.

Great listen! I've already heard this album before cause my band cover "Hey". I've heard that song to death. Some really nice classics exist in the album too! Pretty nice. Short and pacey!

A classic, some great raw moments. Love a good raging screaming breakdown. Second half kind of becomes a bit repetitive to me, but so many strong points. The first half of the album is no-skips for me.

The IndieCore Blueprint!

Very good, was surprised how many of the tracks I knew already

Me recordó a mi ex.

This really itched something in my brain. Really good, liked it a lot.

I liked some songs, the overall sound is messy and sometimes it is too messy for me.

An album I’ve listened to before but it doesn’t get old, such a classic alt-rock album that really was one of the first in that genre. Some of the best rock songs of all time on here. Some songs are skips for me, but there are a lot of highs and some of my favorites. Great album! Top Songs: Here Comes Your Man, Hey, La La Love You, Debaser, Wave of Mutilation

bangers; Here comes your man, Hey

Titties

Muy buen disco. Dicen que en Pixies nació el indie y se lo puede notar, aunque es más pesado e interesante. Por ahí una crítica sería lo repetitivo de las bases con la batería electrónica.

Rv/g

High energy and good variety between songs. This kind of music isn’t normally my kind of thing, but I was really liking this album. I know I should write more for my review, but I have a lot of catching up to do.

Sooooo fun, one of the best rock albums I've ever listened to.

Not the biggest fan of pixies but i recognize their work!

Debaser although questionable by today's standards lyrically is still an absolute work of art. There goes your man is loaded with sarcasm and wit. This monkeys gone to heaven is strange but magnificent. The rest of the album crackles along tremendously. Peak pixies!

I get some of that hype now

Excellent album, I don’t play it enough nowadays, still prefer “Surfa Rosa”, and lucky enough to see Pixies in 1990 with Kim Deal

I like the Pixies more than I like Green Day.

Very much a predecessor of a lot of music I really like.

..very awesome album..no notes ! fav tracks: i bleed, here comes your man, monkey gone to heaven, hey

Pretty good.

2nd best Pixies album.

Gostei bastante do álbum, já conhecia algumas músicas do Pixies mas nunca tinha ouvido um álbum completo.

Басс классный группа классная музыка разнообразная

Kinda cool and funky

Finally, something good in this slop filled list. An alt rock banger, feeling like i’m crushing down pch with the windows down and sunglasses on.

Sony XM4 Headphones Some vocals not the clearest to understand without reading lyrics but otherwise a very good alt rock 'cool kid' album. Mix is a little muddy in some tracks, needs a lot of volume to get the best of it, however could be headphones. Will revisit with different equipment. Plenty of bangers, pace keeps up throughout the whole album and doesn't tail off towards the end. Bass playing is notably good.

Loved it some great tracks reminds me of nights out and some real rock in there too

Debaser - 4.5/5 Tame - 3.5/5 Wave of Mutilation - 4.5/5 I Bleed - 4/5 Here Comes Your Man - 4/5 Dead - 3/5 Monkey Gone to Heaven - 4/5 Mr. Grieves - 4.5/5 Crackity Jones - 3/5 La La Love You - 2.5/5 No 13 Baby - 4/5 There Goes My Gun - 4/5 Hey - 5/5 Silver - 3.5/5 Gouge Away - 3.5/5

7.5/10 Very interesting album. Never listened pixies before. Sounds like dad's car music. Album makes me feel like cool brother from California and very strange man in the same time. I think I should continue listening pixies. Added some tracks to playlist

Die hard listener of the pixies a few years ago so this is a throw back for me

R.I.P. Harambe 1999-2016

I liked this a lot. Interesting mix of different styles. I'm not sure how I've managed to never hear any Pixies albums before!

A kickass album. A couple of songs are too loud for my old ears now, but overall very enjoyable. 4.5

7.0/10 Pretty great album with some iconic songs

Debaser Wave of Mutilation Here comes your Man Dead Monkey Gone to Heaven No 13 Baby There Goes my Gun

Their second album. Indie Rock. Brilliant production, angsty lyrics, that bass sound, cool backing vocals and well timed changes in tempo. A fine 'alt rock' album that was an obvious influence on many who followed.

always a fun album i love it sm. 4.5/5

Was vaguely aware of the Pixies so this album was a delight to listen to, its added to the rotation

This is a weird album and I like it. It seems to change genre every other song, I was familiar with some of the songs but a lot of them were very unexpected vibe shifts. This is really cool, and the lyrics were interesting to listen too. Would listen again 4.5

The album is pretty good so far. Wave of Mutilation is nice I like the guitar in it. The album would actually be pretty good for studying in my opinion. It's not hectic like some music I listen to. Second last song and it kinda reminds me of some music in like a wild west movie. Album has been pretty good.

Finally a good album after two back to back DUDS and not the good kind like milk duds or the Dudley Boyz. I’m talking about the type of shit that’ll ruin your day. So imagine me pressing okay on this album and hearing Debasser and taking a big fat sigh of relief. The album has it lulls but its highs are damn near astronomical! Here comes your man is an all timer and Gouge Away is one hell of a way to close it. 4.5/5!

I enjoyed the hits

Sorry Jer

4/5

WOW.

Den her plade er så sjov! Stor 4er

011626_ when i immersed into grunge music, i orbited myself around alice, mlb, pearl jam, soundgarden and the likes. pixies, too, but i wasnt really the exploratory type, and from them i simply listened to several i can remember. doolittle (1989) is a great pick to introduce someone to grunge/alt. every intro of this album's song pulls you in with its distinct riff and twirls. listen, im not a music prodigy so forgive me for my lack of technicality about what i'm supposedly describing them, but you get where im trying to share across the table. la la love you left me a striking impression, and im thinking about saving it for a late night ritual to ponder over. the debaser to gouge away in-outro is how you select a song to be your first and your last!!!! it doesnt tell you to stop listening after the 15th track, it only means you go back to playing debaser AGAIN. anyway, wave of mutilation is my #1. also, dunno why but the way monkey gone to heaven was sung gives me so much of the idea that this was probably one of their songs that should've (deservedly) sung around by a certain glam rock artist (like bowie).

4.0 stars I almost appreciate the impact & influence this album had on what would become some of my favorite artists than the music itself. that said, musically it's very good. sort of the birth of surfer rock, so to speak...there is no Pavement without Doolittle, and Nirvana doesn't sound like Nirvana without this record. Favorite track: Here Comes Your Man

Can hear such a clear through-line from this to Nirvana to Neutral Milk Hotel and to 2000s indie bands like The Shins and The Strokes. Debaser is a good way to kick off the album. Have always liked Here Comes Your Man Liked La La Love You Hey is another good one Listen to this three times and have liked it more after each Relisten.

I love this album, but it has a couple rough spots.

What every 90s alt band wants to sound like. 4.2/5

I tell you what, I enjoyed this more than I expected to. More rock heavy than other indie rock albums I've listened to. I'll probably listen to more of their work.

Didn't get into this right away, but ended up loving it! Really vibed with Here Comes Your Man, Crackity Jones, and La La Love You, in particular.

A great album

A thousand ships album. Kurt was mainlining Doolittle along with china white. Quality slightly varies to keep it from a consistent whole but when it fires, it’s furious.

W rock album Voice and guitar distortion creates a whole world. Perfect album to listen on a Monday morning before going to school.

Creatieve punk, een paar hele goede singles. Here comes your man is tijdloos. 8/10

This was a good 1st album for me. I actually bought it in its first year. I listened and was in my early mix of CDs, but it never became a fave. A band with all the tools outta the gate. I will bring it back into my life.

I had heard one song before but I was surprised but the variety on the album without it being too jarring. The flow was great but some songs didn’t stand out like other did

mal preveč vsega ampak taka klasika, love pixies, sam mors bit v moodu za poslusat pa ne na slusalke

Ive loved hey by the pixies for years so i was very excited to get this album. It was a great idea. The beginning was kind of strong and shocking (like with the screaming). But then I started to ease into it. I’m not a music expert but the choruses are fun and easy to just vibe with them and the music. You can really see how they influenced other bands because of the similar sounds with nirvana and smells like teen spirit. Some of my favorites here comes your man, la la love you, there goes my gun, monkey go to heaven and Mr grieves.

Good Album art most songs good. Wouldn't listen to whole album over and over again.

Slow, slow, fast.

Good songs debased, here comes your gun overall a pretty good album that is good from beginning to end.

Goated i feckin love this album, another one i grew up with. I remember debaser being on the ultimate band soundtrack and so its just very nostalgic for me

The first Pixies album I got into, so I have a fondness for it. A lot of really great songs, but a few things that I see more as filler these days. I love it, but not as good as Surfer Rosa.

Favorites : - Tame - Here Comes Your Man - Gouge Away

Me gustó mucho las guitarras y batería, en general los instrumentos niceee, las voces de fondo uuuu joya, amo el rock alternativo así que ya era de esperarse que me guste Top 3 1. La La Love You 2. Here Comes Your Man 3. Monkey Gone to Heaven / I Bleed

Det e nok første gangen æ har hørt albumet i sin helhet eller som album, men snakk om å være stappfull av sanger som får mæ til å tenke «å ja, e det dem som har laga den!», så det har definitivt vært lydsporet til en god del filmer og greier og liv helt uten at æ har fått det med mæ.

Reminds me quite a bit of London Calling by The Clash in that it does a good job at being consistent and diverse.

This is my kind of album.

Just a regular Pixies album

I want to be a contrarian and hate on the album, but I can't. It never completely resonated with me enough to be enshrined in my personal hall of fame, but the songs are really fun and catchy. It's pretty undeniable.

Starts off strong and keeps going strong. Great proto grunge album. You can definitely hear the bits that inspired Cobain in this album overall. It's a great overall sound. I think I've heard this once before, and it's definitely growing on me. A lot of experimenting here, and while it slightly goes off the rails at some points, they tend to bring it back from the brink right away, so it really works. 4/5

HELL YEAH!!!! What a fun album RAHHH!!!!

So much everything. Exciting and angsty and lovely damn basslines...

4.3/5 i do like it, its super nice but i wouldn’t listen to everyday the genre is nice tho might check it more out it’s also giving me motivation to find more music bc rn i dont like anything in my playlist lol

A wonderful balance between pop hooks and angst.

8.5/10, 4 liked

Favorite track(s): Debaser, Here Comes Your Man, Monkey Gone to Heaven, Gouge Away Heard before Previous rating: 8/10

Classic

Love the vibe of the album. Rock without being in your face. Grungy back alley kind of sound.

I’m not sure what I expected but this was not it. The vocal range was particularly interesting.

nothing wrong to say about this one. Great album

4 out of 5. Banger album and Gouge Away is my new favorite song of theirs.

4/5 sonido groove

The soundtrack of my final teenage year. I loved everything about them. I was thinking nailed on 5 but actually there are a few filler tracks on here.

Fun

Funny, before I actually knew who these guys were, knowing of their stature I thought they were a little like a the cure-like band but truly a bit rougher the pixies are. Interested to hear this. I truly have not listened to much of them.

Dark then pop then grungy then poetic all mixed up

A good Pixies album. Not my favorite but still even a secondary album by the Pixies is a good album.

have not listened before sadly was so busy and i feel that i didn’t retain any of my thoughts when listening. but love! fav: here comes your man

A lot in a good way, sometimes became so much that it faded into the background, sometimes really fought for dominance of my attention span. Like 5/13 songs I thought “this bangs” which is a p good ratio

I heard it. Not my taste per say but still fun to listen to while doing chores. Could definitely hear this album at a Flanigans.

OK BASS!

innovative album that was the precursor to bands like Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins. Though not as good of a listen as previous ones.

Gosto de Pixies. Já conhecia Here Comes Your Man e Gouge Away. Mas gostei também de I Bleed, Monkey Gone To Heaven e There Goes My Gun. Mas nenhuma superou as duas que eu já conhecia. Mas ainda é um bom álbum.

ok estou meio gag com pixies. adorei esse álbum também, um pouco mais pesado do que o anterior que tirei, mas ainda muito consistente. ganharam uma nova fã.

Originally I thought this was good and 3 stars, but after another listen I actually really like this one. It's a rock album but dips into punk a lot and has some lighter slower tracks. A cool exploration of the rock genre.

Hit after chaotic hit

Step into a world so deranged and off kilter that you may wonder if you made a wrong turn along the way. With time, you’ll begin to realize that this world is full of beauty and pure, unwavering energy. This album is the alternative albums to rule them all. Never has there been an album so imperfectly perfect in my eyes. Bravo.

DEEEBAAAASSERRRRR!!!!!! Shout out Boston. This record must have felt like a breath of fresh air at the time. Obviously, it inspired a ton of late 90s/early 00s music. But it still feels new. Debaser, Monkey Go to Heaven, Hey, Here Comes Your Man all hit. And it wraps up in just under 40 minutes so it is very efficient with its time. Taking one star cause the B side has a few weaker songs.

I never knew what the Pixies sounded like before

I will probably come back to this because it's understated but I liked it.

4.5

Really fun, even though I wasn't always loving it.

-strong energetic start - more grungey than I'm used to - didn't know Here Comes Your Man was off this album - favs: Mr. Grieves, Here Comes Your Man, La La Love You

Angstier

Overall pleasent album, I only ever listened to their album with Where Is My Mind, and I feel like this is definitely different, but I enjoyed it. Some pretty good alt rock. Maybe a bit unoriginal but I really like the bass line in Here Comes Your Man. Probably my favourite song.

This is another album I was only listening to a week or two again. This is a great album and has some classic tracks on it - several of which already appear on various playlists I’ve made. I really like this album, but as tempted as I am to give it a 5 because it has some of my favourite Pixies tracks on, I think overall its more of a 4.

Love this album and it's appearance was perfectly timed to improve a bad day. Long live Black Francis and the crew.

'Doolittle?' More like did well. But seriously folks, I like this hipster darling album. It's a refreshing indie sound that leaves you wanting more (and sounds like a precursor to Weezer). Top tracks: "Wave of Mutilation," "Here Comes Your Man," "Monkey Gone to Heaven," "Hey," "Debaser"

debater- love the intro, weirdly reminds me of “jet” and idk if it’s in a good way, overall good song tame- good, idk if the vocals are really my thing, but great guitar wave of mutilation - fire song i bleed - i fw this one so hard, this one is really good here comes your man - obviously a classic, awesome guitar and vocals dead - kinda gives me the heebie jeebies, i like it i think? guitar in middle is SO good monkey gone to heaven - such a great chorus, makes me feel things fr. ugh love it mr. grieves - funky, i like that it switches up a bunch. oooh good guitar at the end crackity jones - ehhh its not quite my thing la la love you - sexy guitar, don’t love the whistling no 13 baby - too sleepy to do the rest but my top songs are hey and monkey gone to heaven

this is everyone's favorite album ever it seems

One or two filler songs on an otherwise great album. Every time I listen to this album I like it more than the last. Strong 8/10

Amazing alt-rock. ahead of it's time, your suprised the album was released in the 80s when listening for the first time, could have just as well been released 2 days ago.

Unexpectedly fun to listen to. I don't think I knew any pixies songs BESIDES Where is my Mind, and I was super impressed listening to this. Big fan.

There is such an obvious through-line here of this to Nirvana or this to Modest Mouse it's so cool. I don't think I'm at a place where I think this is a masterpiece amazing god album but I do think it's a really sick thing to exist in 1989 and absolutely is a blueprint for a lot of the music that I do think is masterpiece amazing god music. I do think there's somewhere in Dave Grohl's autobiography where he says Nevermind was their best attempt at ripping off Doolittle. Very powerful vocal album, very powerful dynamic album. 4/5 but I can see this becoming a 5 on two or three more listens.

3.67/5 Stars Top Songs: Hey, Here Comes Your Man and Mr. Grieves

👍

What a crazy mix of music. Everytime I thought I had this album figured out it came out of nowhere with a musical break-turn. They wanted to try every genre and succeeded

3.5

que grandes los pixies👏👏joyita

Messy. Explores tons of dark themes. Wasn't bored throughout. Questioning maybe. Sometimes uncomfortable. However, contributes to the experience.

143/1001 Pixies - Doolittle Heard before? ✅ Revisit? ✅ The album that got me into Pixies. I love the loud quiet loud style on this and some of the tracks here are my favourites of all time.

Really wanted to give another five, but I can't because there are a couple of duds (relatively) on the album and, occasionally, the quiet-loud-quiet-LOUD schtick gets a little repetitive. However: 1. It's amazing how powerful and intense much of the music feels even after all these years. 2. I can't think of many rock bands where the bass and drums consistently hold everything together so well, allowing the lead guitar and vocals to really soar. 3. Debaser one of the top ten opening tracks of any album, ever. I will fight anyone who disagrees.

Clearly an influence and a glimpse of what was to come in the 90’s alternative rock/grunge. Some surprisingly catchy parts.

There is just so much going on here - most of it in a really good way Best Song: Debaser Rating: 7/10 Stars: 4

Like stilen, mangle litt fengende melodier... Like mye aent av pixies då:) Beste sang: Here comes your man

YOU

Pretty great, not every song is perfect but the best songs are nothing short of incredible

solid 4.5/5 album. some consistently good tracks across the album, however the vocals can be a tiny bit grating at times? overall though, very good, classic banger

I was excited through the first half as I was enjoying just about every song. Is this going to be the Pixies album that I finally enjoy almost completely? Then the second half hits and the fun stops. Ah yes, classic Pixies. Real great songs and real dreck. That first half puts it up there as my favorite Pixies album on this list. Of the three albums listed you could probably get one really great album from this band. So it goes.

Jag har alltid känt att Doolittle är en splittrad skiva. Dels atonal punk som i Tame och Dead, dels supermelodisk rock som i Here comes your man och Monkey gone heaven. Därför föredrar jag nästa skiva, den mer melodiska Bossanova. Men samtidigt… Pixies har verkligen ett unikt sound. Och i de bra låtarna är de ofta överjävligt bra. Till de redan nämnda kan jag lägga Gauge away, Hey och Wave of mutilation. Det goda vinner.

Sympa

Damn

Très très sympa, ça manque peut-être d'une petite étincelle pour être un 5 mais j'ai bien été entertained

We have this album to thank for an entire generation of alternative rock. Arguably for the hey day of alt rock in the 90’s. Nirvana broke down the walls for the flood but Kurt admits they did so by ripping off the Pixies. This is a solid album. The phrase “ahead of its time” comes to mind. It night be my millennial bias but this album has a timeless quality to it. I truly think if it dropped today it would garner a ton of praise and attention. This band has such a great ability to make some noise heavy weirdness along with some very straightforward alt rock ballads. It’s not the non-stop onslaught of some of its contemporaries, it’s got a few skips and sleepy tunes (looking at you Silver and There Goes my Gun). But what’s good about this album is downright great.

Messy and memorable. 4/5

Starts out as a 4. Remains there. Like it. I would buy this as a cassette tape.

really like this album, had no idea this was the same pixies that did where is my mind?!?! tame, monkey goes to heaven, la la love you, hey, and gouge away were my top 5 off this album but shoutout to debaser

The Pixies were alt-rock darlings in the early 90's and Doolittle a big reason for it More polished and surfy than their debut, Black Francis' indiosyncratic lyrics and varied delivery (sometimes screaming, sometimes singing, sometimes speaking), with gorgeous backing vocals from Kim Deal make for perfect compliments to each other. Doolittle is stacked with some of Pixies best writing and most spirited performances. This is a borderline perfect album, but the high quality of so many songs make the detours and weaker songs stand out for the worse (here's looking at you "No. 13 Baby" and "Silver"). Not my favorite Pixies album, but undeniably an excellent record.

Good listen. Pretty grungey start. For me here comes your man is a favourite.

Great album where every song was at least good, great vocals and nice variety of sounds. Highlights for me were I Bleed, Monkey Gone to Heaven and Mr. Grieves.

This album is a lot of fun. Lots of short, poppy songs. The good thing is that even if a song is annoying (Monkey Gone To Heaven, Silver, Crackity Jones), they are only a few minutes long!

Before today, only heard Hey and Here Comes Your Man. Money Gone to Heaven was good. Flow between songs was nice.

Pixies. One of those bands I've known about for decades and one that I've half-tried to get into, partly because of their significance and partly because I love many of the bands they obviously inspired. And of course because I've enjoyed a few of their songs. I've heard this album plenty of times, and some of their others, but try as I might, I just can't get into them like I want to. It's the repetitive bass led style, the repetitive rhythms, and the irritating vocals. They're one of those bands that would be so easy to lampoon. You know those YouTube musicians who are like 'What If I Played Beyonce In The Style Of Metallica'? Pixies are one of the prime groups of 'play X in the style of'. And it would be so easy to do so. Anyway, with all that out of the way, this album has all the bits. You can see how Nirvana and others were influenced. I'm torn between a 3 and a 4. I'm feeling generous today and I generally like this as a whole, and a few of the songs, more than most of the 3 star reviews I've given here. So a four it is.

Others might argue that this isn't their strongest album, but it's certainly the one I align with most.

Good nostalgic album.

I see why they're popular but it's not my jam

WANNA GROW UP TO BE A DEBASER

Nice and luminous music. An undeniable band that offered new air to music.

Este disco tiene muy buena reputación por lo que representó como ejemplo del indie rock de los 90. Definitivamente se nota su influencia en tantas bandas de la década, Per a mí siempre me ha parecido un grupo algo sobrevalorado. Este álbum, por ejemplo, tiene varios temas ya míticos, pero me cuesta encontrarle el truco a otros tantos. Sea como fuere, ya ha pasado a los anales del gafapastismo musical del siglo pasado.

I didn’t happen on Pixies until _Trompe Le Monde_ and perhaps controversially, it’s my fave album of theirs. A band I very much like but fall short of loving and one I tend to listen to playlists of rather than albums A lot of their best songs are on here though and its quiet/loud influence on 90s alt rock and therefore inclusion on this list are not in doubt.

track 1, then 3-10 pretty damn good. There Goes My Gun and Hey are also pretty good. Really chaotic at the beginning, but eventually comes together to a more pop and indie sound. First listen was pretty rough, but I had enough time for a second one. Just wow, it really shined. Really cool album with really good highs and not too many lows. Will be revisiting for sure.

Good noise!

епте а неплохо

It is a fun and great album to listen to. Not much to add 4/5

Only a couple letting it down.

Nice album. Debaser is perfect.

Кращий у них, топовий звук, бас яскравий по всьому альбому, цікавий сонграйтінг. Чомусь по справжньому не вдалось його полюбити

Цей альбом я поважаю.

Pixies at their best.

This one was pretty big for me when I was first getting into indie music, but as of late it doesn't really hold up in the second half, honestly. That being said, it's the only Pixies album I ever feel any sort of urge to listen to these days, and you really can't argue with that first half anyway.

Love this album. Has its quirks, and therefore is a mood-based listen. Love it tho!! 4/5🎉

The originals ♥️

I liked it. I'm not very familiar with this band, the only song I definitely knew by them before listening is "where is my mind." I had heard "here comes your man", before, but I never would have guessed it was this band. I actually don't like that song very much compared to other songs like "hey" or "monkey gone to heaven". I think there are other songs that will grow on me with more listens, this is one I want to listen to more in the future.

Love the vibes. Monkey Gone to Heaven I seem to know really well from somewhere, and can't figure out where. The album probably isn't quite memorable enough for 5.

Good album, fun guitar riffs and second vocal lines. Monkey gone to heaven top choice.

Had this one before I joined the group and gave it a 3, but think I am actually more of a fan listening on this occasion.

Overall a great album - every song brings something unique, contributing to the collective vibe of the album. The sound and style feels very familiar, seeing as it played a big role in later music, it's clear there are some echoes of Nirvana and Radiohead. To me it's like a more upbeat version of car seat headrest - both spiraling and melancholic

Probably the most complete Pixies album. Having said that, I'm not convinced that there should be more than 1 Pixies album on this list. Favorites: "Debaser", "Wave of Mutilation" (prefer the U.K. mix on the Pump Up the Volume film soundtrack to the this, the original), and "Here Comes Your Man"

Second album in a row I've already listened to, good though!

From what I heard, a great record. Some of the tracks sounded a lot of pre-Grunge with Black Francis’s screams and loudness.

Gouge away, debaser, here comes your man. All fantastic songs. A great album. This monkey’s gone to heaven. One of my favourites

This was a really good album, I was familiar with the hits but never took the time to listen to it fully, vocals are really captivating and musically really interesting, I did find the second half of the album was a bit of a challenge to go through, but that could just be me. No qualms of anyone giving this a 5 but for me listening to it it’s a very high 4

great cooking rock music 4/5

Good stuff

Alt rock at its finest. I cannot stress how influential this band has been on my own music. Love it.

A classic. Always a good listen

Fuckin'-aye! Mr. Francis and Ms. Deal shine brightly, as does the rest of the musicianship here. At once weird and familiar, forward and regular, calming and disturbing. It is only a second to get this in 1989 to grunge barrel-rolling the '90s. Listen carefully: every song here grabs, shakes, won't let go.

So I was directed to not the original album but the 29-track reissue and I loved every minute. It didn’t lose me once. I definitely owned Surfer Rosa at one point but this has some classic tracks. I’m not sure how soon I’d listen to them again but it was a blast while I did.

My first ever listen to the full Pixies experience, though I knew a handful of songs. This is so good, verging on great. Gouge Away, Debaser, Here Comes Your Man. Obvious highlights. It's going into high rotation and on another day this would be a five star.

i actually really liked this and didn’t think i would at all so yay!

- Nooit geweten dat het "Monkey Gone to Heaven" was ipv man. Verklaart de aap. - 2 nummers toegevoegd aan MMMM - 1 nummer al toegevoegd aan MMMM

There's no denying Franklin's incredible voice and musical stylings that are still being copied and iterated on fifty years after this album debuted. Still, I personally admire Aretha Franklin a lot more than I want to sit down and listen to Aretha Franklin

Good album! I had never heard it before but recognized some songs

I know this is a lot of people's favorite Pixies album. But it has always been hard for me to get into. It's good, and maybe if it came to me at a different time of life it would be a 5/5.

Great classic Northwest grunge. I’m glad for the reminder to visit this one!

It’s been about 750 albums since I reviewed Surfer Rosa, the only Pixies album I’ve reviewed so far (4 stars, although the review I wrote was short, and didn’t make much sense). I know a couple of songs off of Doolittle, and I’m curious to hear what the whole album is like, especially since it’s the follow up to the aforementioned Surfer Rosa. Doolittle was a bit shy of five stars for me, but I thought it was a really good album. The guitar playing was fresh and exciting on each track, the drumming was sharp, and there was a good mixture of accessible pop-oriented songs, along with some stuff that was a bit more out there. I tended to enjoy the more accessible songs on this album, but the more traditional alternative rock songs were good too. A few notes on some individual songs: “Debaser” grabbed my attention right away. I loved the guitar playing, the lead vocals were excellent, and Kim Deal’s backing vocals at the end were awesome. What an excellent song, and a superb lead-off track. “Wave of Mutilation” kicked ass too. I loved that drumming so much, and I enjoyed hearing Frank Black shift into softer vocals. Another really solid song. “I Bleed” was probably my favorite of the more chaotic songs on Doolittle. The backing vocals were excellent, and added a ton of depth to the sound. The guitars were excellent once again. I loved the surf rock tone of “Here Comes Your Man.” The tone of the guitar was fantastic, and the drumming was great too. There’s such a shift between the chorus and the verse, but it works so well. The guitars on “Monkey Gone to Heaven” were really great, and the strings made the sound even better. This was easily one of the best songs on the album. Kim Deal’s backing vocals really punch up every song she sings on. “Mr. Grieves” was great too. I loved the shift in sound after the introduction and opening verse. The guitars and vocals were outstanding. What a fun rockabilly sound. “La La Love You” had some really unique guitar playing, and I enjoyed David Lovering’s baritone voice. The crooning style of this song was great. Doolittle is a really solid alternative rock album, and it’s easy to hear why it’s held in such high regard by other alternative bands from the nineties.

Always get suggested Pixies, like the stuff I've heard before. The album hasn't let me down, really enjoyed it.

A band I have heard of but not heard much of. A few songs I didn't really like but a lot I did. Where is where is my mind??

Took me a while to get into this album, but after a few listens it started to click. I’m not a huge Pixies fan, but this is THE album that I have grown to really like by them. Definitely an original and very influential album.

Very good. Alt rock/punk

Really, really, really good alternative rock album. The bassist Kim Deal's work is groovy and appropriately bouncy throughout without being overpowering. Debaser, Here Comes Your Man, Monkey Gone to Heaven, and Hey are all classics that can make the cut on almost any rock playlist and not seem out of place. Reading around the album, noticing the description of "a loud/quiet sound," despite being a bit hamfisted, is perfectly apt. Obvious how the Pixies were and inspiration for many alt rock and grunge outfits in the 90s. Not a perfect album by any stretch but a really strong 4/5 for me.

Dad- 6.5 Mom- 6 Mike- 9 Lori- 8.5 Michael- 8.5 Miles- 8 Cole- NA Avg- 7.75

When I first moved out with friends this was what was playing on repeat.

Gritty, familiar, timeless

What a damn fine Breeders record, haha, just kidding. To be honest I got into the Breeders long before I acknowledged the Pixies, though 4AD already tattooed on my heart. Anyway, the greatest compliment to this record is that it doesn't sound like anything else, apart from said Breeders. The studio engineering is fidelious and presentatious, with microphones in the most aloof locations in the room. Kim, proceed to Deal, and Frank, Black as you will.

Fantastic album

I should have listened to this years ago, I think I would've liked this a lot when I was in uni. The noisy guitars with catchy, poppy hooks is a cool combination. They do the loud-quiet-loud dynamic really well, and contrasts like the almost screeching vocals on parts of Hey that contrast with the jangly indie guitars are nice It's pretty clear the influence this had on many bands, but particularly on Kurt Cobain and Nirvana. I'll probably come back to this, really enjoyed it Highlights: Monkey Gone to Heaven, Hey, No 13 Baby

Sempre m'ha agradat aquest àlbum. Bon ritme, temes que animen i que porten bons records. Aquest mereix estar entre els 100 més escoltats.

It may be blasphemy in Pixies circles, but I like this one more than Surfer Rosa. It has more high points for me, anyway. But regardless I still like the Breeders more.

ja mini liebe pixies – das verhebt! «Here Comes Your Man» & «Hey» sind aber doch immer no mini standouts & de rescht chund nöd ganz ah die 2 bangers ane gid 3.5 pixel – muess morn morge entscheide öbi 3 oder 4 drus mache update: ha d'klausle vergässe…es album wo «Hey» druf hed bechund anschienend automtisch es 4i

Allora ammetto la mia ignoranza non lo conoscevo però mi é veramente piaciuto e penso lo riascolterò tutto. I temi trattati nelle canzoni mi attirano

This is the best Pixies album. I love the bass playing, and every song is very catchy even the "lesser" album tracks.

Not bad, Radiohead was worse)

Bandaza que para mí está infravalorada no se porque me da esa sensación, pagaría para verlos (dentro de los parámetros razonables de costo de entrada, me escuchaste DF entertainment la puta que te parió te odio)

Interesting more classical alt rock. Some good songs, all a bit strange though. Interesting lyrics if I remember correctly.

So good. Not their rawest and bestest.

I liked it

Slightly ruined this album by listening to some of the best songs individually. Listened to a few times in the past but on relisten its 4 stars. Has some songs which are not really all that great which takes the momentum away.

Excellent. No filler. If I'm nit-picking, and I am nit-picking, I would say I've overplayed it. That's my fault. I also prefer Surfer Rosa and Come On Pilgrim. It's still great, and Gouge Away rules.

p626. 1989. 4 stars. Innovative garage/grunge, with decent tunes. On the replay list.

sounds good, have to listen again as it was in a background while working

Good!

I've always been really into Frank Black's solo work. I personally think that it stands up more than Pixies (controversial!). This is undoubtably solid though, and sounds so modern for 1989 (except for the gated snare, perhaps). Favourite tracks: Debaser, Tame, Wave of Mutilation, I Bleed, Here Comes Your Man, Monkey Gone to Heaven, Mr. Grieves, Silver.

Half the songs make me mad, but half the songs are some of the best of all time. Elevating out of the endless morass of 3s feels right.

Wow that was an incredible album ! Great hits and ballads. Lyrically it's good stuff. I didn't like the Frank Black solo album we listened to a while ago, but here he clearly shines. 9/10 Fav songs : Monkey Gone to Heaven & Silver

Tiring in large doses, refreshing in medium doses.

Solid rock album.

Early teens Robbie ate this UP and quite frankly I still do!

The hits kept coming on this one. I can't explain it, but the Pixies occupy a nostalgic place in my brain that is also occupied by the hit Nickelodeon show "Pete & Pete".

It's probably their best album. I'm still not a complete fan of the lead singer, but some of the songs are just plain catchy.

Thought I would like this and it didn’t disappoint. I always think of the pixies with a different sound to this album. Quite mixed up

I didn't realize i knew as many of these songs as I did. Not only that, but I hear their influence on Franz Ferdinand, Jack White, The Cure and The Cranberries to name just a few.

Pretty punky. Never listened to the Pixies before and I'm glad I got the chance too

I've heard this a bunch of times, and while I've never been able to get fully into the Pixies I do love a bunch of songs on this bad boy. Debaser, Wave of Mutilation, Here Comes Your Man, La La Love You, No. 13 Baby, Hey There are some screamy punk songs but they always have that surf vibe to it. Honestly liking this a lot more than I remember liking it listening to it earlier in my life. Very solid and easily my favorite Pixies album.

All their hits, I'm guessing this was their most successful album. Either way, I dig it.

Quite A Banger

Solo conocía una canción de este grupo y ha sido una grata sorpresa. Un disco con aristas, canciones que me han gustado mucho y otras que han pasado más inadvertidas, pero me deja buen sabor de boca.

3.5 étoiles

I love the Breeders so I've been intending to listen to this album for a long time. In fact, I've started it a few times and been distracted so many of these songs are familiar. I like it a lot, and in some ways more than the Breeders. I have very specific attachments to the Breeders so I wouldn't say this could usurp them in my personal rankings but I will keep this album in my rotation!

This is a fantastic album. It absolutely rocks. I have listened to this a lot, and will come back to it. 8/10

compelling

One of the biggest improvements between albums for any band on this list. The first album was sloppy and terrible, but this is clean, sleek, and catchy, with a good variety of sounds and songs that are all the perfect length.

peam

Classic album, I love it! When they were tasked with making this record, they didn’t do little… they did a lot!!

Every time I've listened to this I have to give it up because the music is quite good but whenever I'm not listening to it I think I don't like this band

I do really enjoy the three pixies albums but they never totally connected for me and lets just say i am really scared of all the post kim deal music... anyhow its great!

Great but some repetiveness

I never want to listen to Tame again - made me feel stressed out listening to the breathing. Really enjoyed the rest of it, though - some of my favorite songs.

I found Doolittle to have lots of noise, hardly exemplary vocals, and cryptic lyrics saying everything and nothing in songs that sometimes end before they begin. And yet, it has its charm. By the middle, the Pixies had won me over with their energy—not unlike Nirvana in my school years, but minus Cobain’s voice and plus better music. It must be a rare album where I’d prefer to remove vocals on some tracks and just enjoy the wall of sound undisturbed (Dead, I’m looking at you). There’s just enough versatility here to keep things interesting, but not so much that the album starts to sound all over the place. That’s something I’ve started to appreciate more and more while going through the 1001 Albums list. Best: Monkey Gone to Heaven, Hey, Tame, Wave Of Mutilation Worst: Dead, Here Comes Your Man, Crackity Jones, La La Love You

Great pixies

really really good. 4.5!!

30+ year old album that still sounds fresh and exciting. The Pixies informed 90's alt rock and in a way ALL alt-rock with this release. Best tracks: Debaser, There Goes My Gun, Silver

Raw but dramatic, funny but dark. Listened to this when I was younger, but was really searching for 'bangers' and didn't really get it. Loved it.

I enjoyed this album. I already knew I liked the Pixies. I knew two songs (Here Comes Your Man and Monkey Gone to Heaven). Nice short songs.

so so so close to a five to me if it didn't fall off on the back half

Paras pixies levy tähän asti kelpaa

Not my favorite by them but I’ll agree that it’s the one that has pretty much everything the Pixies has to offer. Some real classics on this one

The Pixies are truly one of a kind and this album is the perfect demonstration of their talent. They have mastered chaos and noise within well crafted songwriting.

Quintessentially 90s, even though it dropped in 1989! One of a handful of albums from the late 88/89 that would pave the way for the early 90s alternative scene. The way the album blends quiet-loud dynamics, surreal lyrics, and abrasive guitar work set a template that would influence so much of what would come to dominate the early 90s. In a way, Doolittle was like the bridge between the late 80s and the explosion of alternative rock in the 90s. It’s fair to say that alongside **Jane’s Addiction’s** *Nothing’s Shocking*, **Faith No More’s** *The Real Thing*, **Nine Inch Nails'** *Pretty Hate Machine**, and the **Soundgarden's** *Louder Than Love* you have five albums that pretty much reframed music for me.

Probably my favorite pixies album

Doolittle is an album with a lot of variation and ideas. Not all of them work for me personally: especially the beginning two tracks, which made me worry I wasn't going to like the record at all, but thankfully a lot of said ideas did hit for me. There's clear talent here with the infectious melodies, good pacing and clever experimentation that create something really special, and truly worth sitting through, even if some songs don't quite hit for you. Starting with Debaser, can immediately say I do not like this guy's voice here. The rest of the song is kinda nice if I block him out, but then the main singer sounding like the sort of guy you'd avoid in public, screaming from the corner of the room, is too off-putting to really enjoy the song. I expected to feel similarly about Tame, but it honestly wasn't as bad. The screaming kinda blended into the track more and kinda worked with the blaring guitars, so it didn't bother me as much, and I kinda liked it when he was more whispering, though the heavy breathing a couple thirds into the song was again off-putting. Still, not as bad for me. Wave of Mutilation was a lot more enjoyable. If it wasn't already obvious enough, I do not like it when the main vocalist is screaming lol, so this was a huge fresh air. It wasn't the most interesting song, but after the previous two I can't help but give it credit. I can't say the same for I Bleed, which is both more interesting and also doesn't have the screaming. The main vocalist's almost eccentric inflections compliment the more traditional singing behind it, all featured on a slightly eerie instrumental, creates a fascinating listen that I can vibe with. Here Comes Your Man is a break from the experimentation, and is pretty catchy. I love the choice of guitar on Dead, perfectly mirrors the visceral undertones of the track. I loved the chorus of Monkey Gone to Heaven. I'm not really a fan of the spoken-word-esque verse delivery but I really love how the rest of the song sounds so maybe it's something I can get used to. Especially appreciate the brief plucking of strings appearing intermittently throughout. The tempo changes and faster pace in Mr. Grieves was also super enjoyable. This is the point of the album where I realised how far my opinion had changed since the beginning of listening, for the better. Crackity Jones sees another fast-paced song with unhinged inflections in the chorus and I'm here for it. I can see the appeal by La La Love You, but I found it unengaging at best and whiny at worst. Almost reminds me of a budget The Smiths song lol. No 13 Baby isn't at all offensive or 'bad', but is rather uninteresting compared to the more experimental tracks, is not as appealing as some of the more catchy tracks, and falls into this weird no man's land of something I don't mind playing but probably won't revisit often, if at all. It's the longest track on the album and it unfortunately shows too, I felt it dragging on. There Goes My Gun didn't do much for me either, but the guitar riffs and the guitar solo were nice at least. Hey is a similar story to the previous track, with a nice guitar and not bad everything else, but overall feels more fleshed out, and I feel the sum is greater than its parts here. Was suddenly transported to a Gorillaz feeling world with Silver, with the slow rhythm and vocals that sound like an alternate universe 2D. Grew to really like it as it went on. Gouge Away feels like an appropriate way to close out the record. I don't really have the words to explain why. It just works. FAVOURITES - I Bleed; Monkey Gone to Heaven; Mr. Grieves; Silver LEAST FAVOURITES - Debaser; No 13 Baby

Really cool album with a great variety of interesting ideas. I enjoyed it from the get-go and continued to throughout, there were a few weaker tracks, but other than that my main issue is just trying to relate to/ understand what is being said at times. I like a lot of the lyrics but I wasn't always sure on what they were trying to get across - though I imagine this is in large part my own short coming. Debaser is a great start, I loved his singing and most of the screaming too, but this is a great example of just having no clue on what the song is about. I have briefly looked into it now and apparently it refers to movie Un Chien Andalou and the lyrics are more or less based off events in it. Tame isn't quite as strong, don't love the whispering at the start but I enjoyed most of the rest and I like the breathing that grows louder later on and kinda grows into becoming a fuller vocal. Wave Of Mutilation is pretty dark both due to the vocals at times and the lyrics - basically romanticising suicide - it sounds good giving us a break from the screaming, accompanied with a nice guitar. I Bleed is an interesting one, the overlayed vocals are kind of haunting/disconcerting at times and the instrumental adds to that general vibe. I liked the more strained vocals at the end quite a lot here. Here Comes Your Man comes in with this groovy guitar letting you know from the get go it's different. It's a good easy listen - to me it's kind of strange as it seems to lack any of the challenging elements that all previous tracks provided either through lyrics or vocally. Somewhat confusing how it fits here. Dead was quite good too (and more in line with the general themes thus far). Monkey Gone to Heaven was great, the chorus was heavenly in a way though still has this kind of eerie vibe, the guitar is great. I also enjoy the end section where he gets progressively quieter then way louder when moving to a new subject going from man to devil to God. Mr. Grieves and Crackity Jones are fun tracks, Crackity Jones has this kind of crazy energy, becoming unhinged at times, and it's so infectious. La La Love You is a huge change of pace compared to the previous, way more relaxed, the whistles are a nice touch. No 13 Baby not my favourite track in terms of subject or sound. There Goes My Gun is solid, nothing too special. Hey sounds great. When I first listened I wasn't in a great mood and this had a more sombre feel, being stuck, but coming back to it, it feels like it doesn't push for that much but allow you to ease into it if you're already primed for that emotion if that makes sense. Silver is a really interesting track, it gives this weird haunted western vibe - it sounds fine for what it's trying to be but not exactly something I'm looking to come back to. Gouge Away is a good fitting ending. Best - Debaser, Wave Of Mutilation, Monkey Gone to Heaven, Hey, Gouge Away Worst - Tame, No 13 Baby, There Goes My Gun

adri: 9, oscuro, estridente y experimental. Como a mi me gusta. Aaaaaaaaa. mar: 5, solo me ha gustado "hey", puedo verle el appeal pero tan pronto por la mañana se me ha hecho algo estridente

No misses yet from the Pixies, this album's just one banger after another
