Doolittle - Pixies

... The album I plumped for was 1989s Doolittle. Whilst I had heard very good things about this album I doubted it would come close to the brilliance of the wonderful Surfer Rosa LP. I was wrong. Throughout their career the Pixies are a band whos members mixed infamously badly. Whilst this ... Read review

Ride the Wave of Mutilation

Advantages: An album that's imaginative, well written and original.
Disadvantages: Sometimes the lyrics might leave you a tad confused

.../> The musical style of Doolittle is something that proves very difficult categorise due, in the main, to the fact that the Pixies sound is so different to anything else that went before or came after. Sure they had a huge affect on the era of grunge that was just beginning to sprout when Doolittle was realised (a certain Mr Kurt Cobain himself said no Pixies then no Nirvana) but Doolittle lacks the angst ridden pure aggression that typified grunge. ...
...like that. The music on Doolittle alone encompasses so many sounds ranging from metal to country with lyrics that are often dark and depressing in nature. Sticking with the label alternative rock is probably the best policy for those that need a genre. What can be said though is that the music of consistently high quality and is always a pleasure to listen to and is probably best described on a song-by-song basis.

Grunge before Grunge !

Advantages: Impassioned
Disadvantages: I was too young 1st time around !

Although I was a bit young to find the Pixies when I was younger (I'm only 20) after hearing a few tunes I invested in their best of Death To the Pixies, and sybsequenty the rest of their back catalogue. While always alternative, the Pixies managed to weld their dynmanics and passion to insanely catchy riffs and choruses, and Frank Black's lunatic vocals on Debaser are enough to grab the attention of any listener, but even the more restrained tunes ...

Debaser

Advantages: The abiliy to swap between two contrasting thought processes.
Disadvantages: n/a

...enough to be nu-metal. Doolittle is, as are most Pixies albums, different to all the other Pixies releases. This album in particular is quite dark and sombre, with the expected exceptions. It uses the rocky style of the Pixies, yet incorporates the early inspiration that was to become grunge at the hands of Nirvana. Kurt himself has said he was influenced by Black Francis and his motley crew. Track Listings: 1. Debaser 2. Tame 3. Wave of Mutilation ...

Gouge Away The songs on the album are all outstanding, especially due to their variety. The opener to the album is 'Debaser', the most successful Pixies track to date, with it's poppy theme. On a similar note, it contains 'Here Comes Your Man', which is cheese pure and simple, but brilliantly done. However, ...

Listener Gone to Heaven!

Advantages: More accessible Pixies, beautiful melodies
Disadvantages: None Whatsoever

Doolittle is a strange album as it combines dark, moody music with poppy, upbeat music, in a Pixies way ofcourse. Don't get me wrong, this cd is not happy and jolly. We still have all the screaming from Black Francis, the insanely wonderful guitar from Joey Santiago and whining backup vocals from Kim Deal. The cd opens with Debaser, one of their finest ever songs, which is sure to make you drum your hands on your thighs. Then we have darker, heavier ...
...quietly and burst into a loud, in-your-face chorus. Here Comes Your Man is probably their most poppy, catchy song ever, yet it still done in the regular Pixies way. Undoubtedly, the highlight is their biggest hit, Monkey Gone to Heaven, an amazing song with quiet voice-and-bass-guitar verses, typical of the Pixies, and again bursts into a chorus to kill all other choruses. Every single other song on the album is also good. Not a single weak track ...

This monkey's gone to heaven

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

Doolittle, the Pixies’ third album, opens with “Debaser”, the band’s most successful single to date. This song has been covered by, among others, Kerbdog (who split up recently – and Wilt have been formed by the lead singer – check them out), and it sets the feel for the rest of the album. Kim Deal’s simple, melodic bass lines and Dave Lovering’s usually even simpler drums (although the drum track on “Debaser” is amazing) act as a tonic to the manic ...
...lead vocals of Black Francis. This is the first Pixies album I ever bought, and it made me buy everything else they had ever recorded. The only (slightly) bad track on this record is “Silver”, as it is quite dissimilar to the others, and I would say this is the only bad song the Pixies have ever recorded. Highlights on this album are “Monkey Gone To Heaven”, “Wave Of Mutilation”, “Gouge Away”… the list goes on and on… If your musical tastes are ...

Talking to animlas?

Advantages: The perfect punk pop record
Disadvantages: i cant find any-other than it didnt set the charts alight

The pixies make their intentions clear by opening the albumn with possibly their best ever tune - Debaser. From this moment on its clear why kurt cobain would try to make nirvana sound so much like the pixies. This is perfect pop music. This the pixies third albumn is their finest albumn that they recorded in their all too short career. It is understandable that many people believe that there latter work does not match up to Doolittle. How could ...
...and punky generaly abiding by Black Francis' much copied formula of quiet verse and explosive chorus. That is not to say that the songs are not diverse, a mixture of different musical styles and even languages (with some verse in spanish) mean this albumn has a long shelf life. This is a must have for anyone who wants to know where all the alternative acts of the 90's got their ideas from. ...

In Heaven

Advantages: The chance to hear the Pixies doing something different
Disadvantages: erm...

of the most outstanding tracks on Trompe Le Monde; an even more sparse version of the Doolittle track 'Hey'; 'Wave of Mutilation' - one of the most successful Pixies tracks, alongside 'Caribou' and 'Monkey Gone to Heaven' - all three of which appeared on Death to the Pixies; and '(In Heaven)- Lady in the Radiator song 1' as the final track of the album ending on a very serene note. All in all, At The BBC is not quite what you'd be expecting from a Pixies album, but it's outstanding nonetheless... ...

Review of Pixies At The BBC - Pixies

Pixies Live

Advantages: Another reacording from a much missed band
Disadvantages: The small amount of crackling

Having completed my collection of studio albums by Pixies, I'm always looking for something new, especially as merchandise is a pain to track down. (Nearly 2 years for a poster!!) However, today was my lucky day as I discovered two other recordings to add to my collection, at a CD fair in Leeds. What luck. The first one of these CD's is Transatlantic. This is basically a Pixies live CD, from the Doolittle tour in 1989. The two gigs it is made up of were Chicago, Illinois, and Vienna, Austria. Most of the tracks are from the first gig, with just a handful at the end from Vienna. For those of you that don't know much about Pixies music, they were about in the late '80's-early '90's, led by Frank Black, or Black Francis ,as he was then. Their style of music is pretty rock based, coupled with grunge, and a few country hints ...

Review of Transatlantic - Pixies

Wonderful!!

Advantages: Brillant songs
Disadvantages: So badly recorded it's not funny

Surfer Rosa is my favourite Pixies release. OK, it's not as good technically as Doolittle, (in fact is one of the worst recorded things I've ever heard) but the songs still shine through - my favourites being Gigantic (sung by future Breeders singer Kim Deal under the name of Mrs John Murphy) and Where is My Mind? which showed that under all the shouting they could do a slow number. Overall though (especially when coupled with Come On Pigrim - as it is on the CD reissue) it is a very good buy - although i would recommend Doolittle if it was the first Pixies album you were thinking of buying.. ...
