Doolittle

Прослушано! Средний альбом, не зацепило ни чем.

Could be liked with attrition. Knew one song, the rest was ok.

2/5. Doesn’t feel as amazing as I’ve heard it to be. Feels like a group of people who had fun playing but didn’t know how to play their instruments and then started a band. There are some catchy songs but most lean on the side of annoying.

Todella vaikea arvosteltava. Bändin esteettinen visio eroaa radikaalisti omastani, minkä vuoksi sen kappaleissa olisi parasta olla ideaa. Ja valitettavasti niissä on. Toisaalta ainakin juuri tältä levyltä puuttuu sellainen täysillä kolahtava raita, joka minun "täytyisi" kuulla uudelleen. Nyt soittaisin levyn toiseen kertaan vain mielessäni teoreettinen kysymys: voisinko oppia pitämään Pixiesin musiikista enemmän? Eikä tämä tyydytä.

I wish I liked the pixies. I feel like I’m supposed to like the pixies. Why can’t I get into it? Is there something wrong with me, will I never find musical love?

Honestly not my favorite album. I was only able to get in half a listen though lol. It just felt a little too like a garage band. There’s a lot of spoken lyrics and it doesn’t seem to have anything really unique. In general: 6/10 My rating: 4/10

You can practically hear the lamentations of a million Gen Xers with income property at this rating

Fine

Not so good. Too loud, screaming and shouting throughout,

forgettable

Not in the mood today

Listened to on 8/12/22 2.5/5 Favorite song: Here comes your man I felt like I was being yelled at for 60% of this album but the other 40% was great

Pas mon album préféré des Pixies, Frank Black est cool mais je crois que je sature d'entendre ça avec jessica. Pour autant c'est un album super bien produit de fin de grunge

Enough with the freaking pixies.... They had one hit...

Nothing really clicked with me from this album. 2/5

Starts off with the lead singer just screaming. What an immediate turnoff. Then it's whispers to screams to whispers to screams... Until the third song, I wasn't sure if they were aware there is a section in the middle of those two extremes where better music tends to be. The album is at its best when it calms down, which isn't nearly often enough.

This has all the annoying trappings of non-Seattle alternative: it rips off a random Stooges song (I hate the Stooges), adds fuzzy guitars (probably telecaster/vox combos ew), simple marching beat-style drums (awful snare sound btw), the most toothless singing possible (even the screaming is wimpy) and coats it all in shitty DIY garage band stylings. Plus the singer looks like that fat hairless creep from Little Britain. Overall it just gives off loser vibes - like the soundtrack to being bullied in high school or something. 2/5.

A few enjoyable songs, many annoying songs.

meh

I get it. But did very little for me.

Fine

Cool beats and melody. Too much on the screamer side for me

a few good tracks, not really my style

First listen. Very nice. Like to hear more of it. 2/5

I'm not excited with this.

meh

I've never played with the volume knob so much on one car trip, the volume differences within the same track is jarring throughout the album

This album is a little weird. I was not familiar with the Pixies before this album. Definitely does not have an 80s feel to it. This surprised me.

Helt ok sound, inget jättebra

Barring the couple of "hits", it's fairly weak.

Didlittle for me

🐒

its fine. I guess its alt rock? not totally sure 2.5

head banger for a rager . probably fun to see live.

-Alternative, meh -Short lyrics -A lot of quiet -> loud

The album started off really strong, but quickly fell off. Track 6 and beyond I didnt enjoy very much.

Sounds great, but I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to this

Debaser - yelllike no one listened, 2nd half is coo Tame - nothing but Wave of Mutilation - waaave I Bleed - same inside Here Comes Your Man - here he come Dead - sendoff Monkey Gone to Heaven - 6+7+? = ? Mr. Grieves - will talk soon Mr. Crackity Jones - crack is wack La La Love You - hard to say easy to confuse No 13 Baby - the eyes are telling There Goes My Gun - shoot first ask q later Hey - meant to be Silver - leaving for tomorrows better Gouge Away - do if you must 7/14 songs enjoyed best song* Here Comes Your Man 5.5/10

Typical late 80’s, early 90s music. 2.5/10

OK nothing special for me

day 1, interesting album not exactly my type but ok lol

This albums has a few great songs and others that are just there to add play time. It is a good example of the style at that point in time but I doubt I'll listen the full album ever again.

några bra låtar

Digget dette når jeg var 17, men nå syns jeg bare det er irriterende

Yeah it was ok, not a huge fan

Que es este choshinero?... Pura pedazera ni debería ser un álbum

I thought I was going to like it more

listened to only 2 songs not my type i could see why people like it though

Some enjoyable parts, but all in all not my cup of tea. Will probably never listen to this album again.

I didn't like this album very much. I wasn't expecting the Pixies to be so scream-y? but especially on the second track (Tame, I think?) it was a little much for me. "Here Comes Your Man" is surf-rock-y and definitely the best song on the album

12/4 Love the edgy, dark content of it, I'm not too big a fan of the genre of noise-pop apparently. It's not bad per se, just I always expect the noise to be more melodic... yeah. Standout Tracks: Debaser, Tame, I Bleed

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

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

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

Not enjoying this.

Yea I did not like this I was just hoping the album would finish and yes I could have stopped listening but fuck it. Yea the album got worst and overstimulating I am good

Forgettable and somewhat annoying.

Synu 😭 Nawet OK kiedy nie śpiewają. 3/10 Ulubiona piosenka: Wave of Mutilation

No

No me gustó para nada, aburrido

No me encantó.

Doo doo

Vielleicht ist es nicht fair gegenüber genau diesem Album, aber meine Pixies Toleranz ist erschöpft! Kein Musik-Kritiker kann mir glaubhaft erklären, dass ich drei Alben (plus solo Auskopplungen) brauche, um zu wissen, dass die Pixies scheiße sind Konnte diesmal nur die ersten 30 Sekunden von Song 1 und 2 hören - Geistige Erschöpfung ist eingetreten; ich will die Pixies endgültig nie wieder hören

Really not for me

Nop

meh

It all sounds the same These screams get real boring real quick It’s just sounds like noise

No me gustó

This album is horrible, this is my first DNF

Cacophony

Oubliable

Not for me....5 songs in then gave up.

Started out with an annoying repetitive song. Did not get much better. Waves Of Mutilation is the only one I've heard before, that one is ok. Here Comes Your Man, No 13 Baby, and Silver were also ok. The rest was junk. Best song: Waves of Mutilation

It's very clear what this album influenced, and there is very minimal music I like from that influence.

Es un disco raro, todavía no lo llego a descifrar...es como si quisieran empezar los 90, pero todavía les queda un poco de los 80 atrás. Nosé, no es mí estilo...pero si estaría metida en esa droga pecaminosa del surf rock o como sea que a la gente le guste llamarlo, creo que estaría prendida de este disco.

Varför gapar han så? Varför spelar dom så hårt och tufft? Helt obefogat! Inte ens mitt gymnasie-jag tyckte om det här och jag gör det inte nu heller. Jävla tramsband! Singlarna är rätt ok, resten total dynga

Not my fav.

Soft rock not my vibe

Du bruit en canne

A couple of tracks were interesting but overall, not a fan of alternative rock.

Lixo

No, just no.

Much screaming. Hurts my lungs to hear :(

Ow my ears

Heard some songs but didn’t really liked the album.

Awful album

Never been a Pixies fan. Maybe it’s the time period, with The Smith’s and The Cure, etc.

Not for me

Strange music. No real hits.

Struggled to get on board with this one. I appreciate the creative — and varied — approaches across the board, but there wasn’t much I particularly enjoyed outside of disparate elements here and there. Vocals range from passable to downright awful. DNF. Listened to: walking to BBG. Favorite tracks: I Bleed

Don't like this, didn't finish the album

Tame is way too screamy throughout. Most of the songs had a bit of this, as well as redundancy and more sing-talking (not strong singing) - I did not enjoy this album overall.

Did not like at all

bruh boring

It's okay, but I'm not really feeling it. I don't think I would listen again.

Wirklich nicht

Not really my kind of music or singing

Never been a Pixies fan and this album didn't change my mind. One star for Kim Deal, who's cool. Everything else, eh. Would I listen to it again: No

Not for me

Fuck this dumb album. I’ve tried to listen to it so many times. No matter how hard I try I can never get into it.

Not for me. 1/5

I want to like the pixies. Trust me I have tried, but their sound just irks me. I wouldn't return to a single track on this album

I see Pixies and I think of Project Mayhem. Makes me wanna put the film on. But that song wasn't on this album, the whole thing was shit. Disappointed.

Meh. Not my cup of tea.

Had thought they had done some good stuff. Well none of it on this album.

Furchtbar

I liked it less as it went on.

Wirklich nicht

Absolutely drivel. Thank God that's over. Congratulations Pixies...worse album so far by a long way. Saves me ever wasting money seeing you anywhere!

Not really excited about this band. I'm not a fan of the vocals for sure. I've heard "Here Comes Your Man" before and didn't realize that was the Pixies.

En löytänyt yhden yhtä kuunneltavaa kappaletta.

Crap

Nope. This band is not edgy or cool. Enjoy conforming while trying to be non-conformists, kids.

Punk, Rock, 1989 -> 1

I don't get the Pixies.

I understand the punk significance of the Pixies… but this was just meh for me. I did enjoy La La Love You.

1. debazer - 0 2. tame - 0 3. uuavez - 0 4. bleed - 0 5. man - 1 6. dead - 0 7. heaven - 1 8. grievez - 0 9. jonez - 0 10. la la - 1 11. baby - 0 12. gun - 0 13. hey - 1 14. zilver - 1 15. gouge - 0

Dreadful.

meh.

Not my taste

I like the hit….

Meh

You don't know what is more horrible, the singing or the music.

This isn't even music

Garbage

I'm not a big fan of this unfortunately.

Scary

Yuck! Choke me while I scream.

Esto debe ser heavy metal. No le encuentro el gusto. Algunos cambios de ritmo me placen. Algunas canciones las soporto. Hay una que me ha interpelado.

Löst in mir überhaupt nix aus. Belangloses Gedudel.

Not my thing

Give this a 1. Would not buy the album or seek it out.

Found this album to be very sub par, the music almost sounds muted and lacks energy which is weird because it sounds like they are going for it

Geen sjoem, niks bijzonders en niet mn vibe

Did not enjoy at all. Annoying sound

Not good. Kind of a mashup of punk, grunge and rockabilly, it was a mess.

Weird mix between The Smiths, The Shins (even though it's before them), also made me think of Franz Ferdinand and some hispanic rock bands from the 80s. Not my style necessarily, but quite a new sound for music in english for 1989. Parts of some songs have that usual 90s distortions, in the guitar and in the voice. The singer is quite charismatic, but it's not something I'd listen to in purpose.

I hated this album

I have heard so much good about this album, and cannot figure out why. I find it really bad.

Idk what this is... Tame is especially grating to the ear, Here Comes Your man was the highest point.

Not for me at all. Lots of screaming. But now I know where the song they scream at karaoke in 500 Days of Summer

NOT FAB AT ALL DISTASTEFULL

Doe mij maar 100 keer liever Depeche mode of Frank Boeijen dan het zoveelste jaren tachtig-garagebandje, want hier is er weer eentje. Het muzikale equivalent van een hanenkam en een piercing: dingen expres lelijk maken vanuit een soort cynisch nihilisme. En dan moeten we het nog serieus nemen ook.

Marmite music. Latter camp.

Awful

Touted as one of the most influential bands of the 80s and... I only liked 1 song from this album. Most of the songs don't have a lot of views and rightfully so.

1,5

0.5/5 unlistenable

Doesn't work for me

Noisy and teenage frustration bing bang

Decent instrumentals and playing (for the most part, some beats were real real awful) but I just could not get past the singing/vocals. Honestly grating

Can't say this is the weirdest album I've listened to but its up there. I actually like the voice cracks in the singing but the lyrics are too confusing for me.

If asked, I would describe this ad 'shouty punk', bordering on tbrash metal vocal styke. Horrible - hate it.

Bit too shouty

Not my style.

Ok Jesus Christ I came from an album that already bored me so hard (I listened to 2 this day) and I wantrd to go out but I force myself to listen to this. It's so chaotic to the degree I don't like it. There goes my gun is cool doe, and the last track. 1/5

I really don’t like the singer which I couldn’t get passed. I found the vocals unlistenable at times, particularly in “Tame.” I liked “Here comes your man” but I already knew that one and think it sounded pretty different than everything else I heard on the album. There were a few others I liked, like “Hey” and “Mr. grieves” but overall was not a fan and wouldn’t choose to listen to this album again

Как и всегда не особо мое, но что-то в этом есть

It's telling that Here's Comes Your Man is the most popular song from this album. It's catchy, melodic and has a great hook. It's the only song on this album I care for. There are a few others that showed promise in the first few bars, but then the strident guitars, angry vocals and discordant noise kicked in and they lost me. It's just not my kind of music.

Not for me

I did not like the album

The vocals were pretty hard to understand. But I guess that's the style. I thought the best section of the album was Mr. Grieves, Crackity Jones.

Never really like 'punk' music, or anything that was considered grunge. This was really no exception. I enjoyed the backend of the album with Hey being probably my favorite song.

just not my taste

A little repetitive, but good, liked it a lot!

норм

definitely hearing the surfer blood like sounds. pixies were an influence.
