Your honest opinion on this album?
Did it age well?
not particularly, it sounds fairly bland now to the point where it's an album you could respect but not necessarily enjoy just for the way it sounds imo.
sounds muddier and more dated than Surfer Rosa which also has better songs
It's kind of bad in my opinion. It's too "le quirky" and can be particularly boring at times.
I listened to this album for the first time and genuinely enjoyed it. Gouge away and debaser were 2 particular highlights.
SLICING UP MY BALLS
Huh, I think it's an incredible album that has aged quite well. People will be contrarians about everything I suppose.
I don't dislike it, but at the same time I don't understand why it's at or near the very top of so many "Best of the 80s" lists
I used to think this album was overrated as hell but its grown on me so much. All the songs are to the point and full of interesting moments. Pixies were a really special band. It just takes the ability to see past their influence to appreciate
Monkey Gone To Heaven makes me so happy for some reason
AAAAH HA HA HO
>sounds muddier and more dated than Surfer Rosa which also has better songs
funny, because the average new listener would say the opposite
GOT KILLED BY TEN MILLION POUNDS OF SLUDGE FROM NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY
Every doolittle thread just makes me want to listen to it again regardless of what people are saying
Pixies' magnum opus
It's good, but not as raw or consistent as Surfer Rosa.
i'm really biased towards this album cuz it was my first Real Music Album after my middle school mall goth phase
i still love it 10 years later
I would say Doolittle is more consistent than Surfer Rosa
if you sat people down and made them listen to both albums i think most would assume Surfer Rosa came out later. Doolittle has more of a poppy 80s alt rock vibe to it, especially the opening of Debaser and Wave of Mutilation.
not implying that makes either superior
So I'm one of the few here that absolutely loves the production this album?
it varies for me. Some songs are fucking nuts but others are completely boring imo.
HOPE EVERYTHING IS AAAALRIIIIIGHTHEEHEEHEEHEE
Maybe it didn't. It's still fucking great though, and one of my all time favorites
Nope, I love it too.
DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER OPINIONNN
WERE CHAIN-EEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
THEN THE DEVIL IS SIX
Whores in my head
whores at the door

BUT HEY
WHEEEEEEEEEERE
HAVE YOUUUU

>did doolittle age well
>this thread
Well you have shit taste then. Doolittle has legitimately boring tracks on it.
that's the beauty of it
It wasn't particularly exciting. Debaser was a strong moment but otherwise it's nothing overwhelming. I think the timing of it is what makes it so popular, though. It was innovative for its time, but nothing to fawn over now.
