Un dels millors discos de rock alternatiu... de la història? I això que personalment sempre li tindré més carinyo a 'Bossanova', amb qui els vaig conèixer... però el llistat de singles imbatibles d'aquest és tan difícilment superable....
One of my favorites of all time!
Best Pixies album. Timeless... Required listening. That is all.
Know it well. Fantastic tunes
DIS CA ZO!! 10/10 ludomatics
It’s a collection of really brief songs that are also fully formed pieces. So you get one song that does a thing, then the next song will do something else.
Absolute genius!!
oh please. 5 stars.
yes
Marginally prefer this album to Surfer Rosa and I think it has a slightly stronger legacy probably because there are more recognisable songs like Debaser, Tame, Here Comes Your Man, Monkey Gone To Heaven, etc. 9/10
Stone cold classic
So many bangers. A game changer for me in formative years. Shout out to Conrad Roots for making me listen
One of my all time favourites
Best
I already liked this album. The Pixies are such a unique band IMO and in this album they show that's possible to showcase a variety of musical talents and styles and still put out a cohesive album.
5 estrellas totales. Al menos por los recuerdos que me trae. Me pilló en el cambio del colegio al instituto en un momento que estaba de moda el Heavy y a mí no me gustaba. Pero esto sí. Guitarras potentes, melodía, estribillo todo lo que me sigue gustando de la música estaba ya ahí.
One of my favorite alternative albums. Every song has a purpose, terrific pacing and just weird enough to separate it from the crowd
Kjærkomment gjenhør!
One of my favorite albums! "Debaser", "Here comes your man", "Monkey Gone to Heaven" and "Gouge away" are classics, and most of the other tracks are bloody good too (except maybe "Tame")
It's hard to be objective about an album whose cassette I owned and whose songs belonged on a third of all my mixed tapes. Perfect road trip album
YES
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.
9/10 Fv song: No 13 Baby
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
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!
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.
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
Here comes your cacophony man
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
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.
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.
Fun!
Always liked the Breeders and Frank Black yet never dug into the Pixies. Cool album, wish I heard that in my formative years.
This might be their finest record start to finish. Genuinely wonderful.
🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑 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
Sounds like a blueprint for many alternative rock and grudge bands .....which blows my mind ......
Alt rock pioneers. Responsible for so much of the shit I like. It's on my shelves. Heard before ✅️ Listened this time ✅️ Revisit ✅️ ★★★★☆(8/10) Total reviewed : 373 Already owned : 82 Purchased : 16 To buy : 7 Nope : 268
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".
surprisingly mid, but short. it is the pixies I would reach for.
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
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.
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 is a great album with a very unique sound. One of those rare albums that stands out because it sounds so different. I respect that and really leaned into the vibe.
Great sound, great vibe. I want to say this sounds like a punk / grunge mash up but that's not entirely right. In particular since this is 1989 and the Pixies are a Boston band, not sure grunge was a thing there yet. Regardless, I dig the album quite a bit.
Punkish with enough heart to charm me. I particularly liked here comes your man and la la love you.
Sehr rockig. Leicht punkig in einigen Songs. Kann man sich gut geben.
Obviously, one of the great records of the 80s. The songs I love I really love; the rest are just really good.
Crazy this band from Boston, Mass would be a big influence on the most influencial grunge band across the country. Sometimes albums are classic for a reason
Makes me feel like a teenager
V good
On one hand, most of this album isn't that good. On the other, Here Comes Your Man is a banger.
There's a lot to get used to about this album. I didn't exactly get there yet. I have known Here Comes Your Man for a long time, so the rest of the songs were interesting to hear. I think they will grow on me. There is a lot to like and nothing that I dislike about the album
This brings me back. Perfect blend of Frank Black's anger with Kim Deal's childlike singing and melodies.
I didn't like this album the first time I listened to it, but I gave it a second chance here and I've come around on it. Lots of interesting songs like Debaser and Gouge Away sprinkled in with classics like Here Comes Your Man and Monkey Gone to Heaven. I can see now why this put the Pixies on the map. It gets one star off from me though for the awful song that is Tame. It's literally just Frank screaming "tame" for a minute and I hesitate to even call it a song.
A good alt rock album that also defied 80's slop! 3.5
Should be on this list by all means. Some of the tracks I didn't like as well but this goes hard in other spots.
This was the exact type of album I started this list hoping to discover. Obviously I'd heard of The Pixies but I probably would have struggled to name more than a couple of songs. Now I'm starting to think they are alot of my favourite bands, favourite band. You can just hear the influence for so many 90s alt bands and beyond. Although the styles changed throughout the album, the one constant was the amazing bass guitar work. Phenomenal. Really enjoyed my listen though. 4*
Weird, wonderful, high energy and fun. What’s not to like?
An Indie classic
Phenomenal band. Brilliant record.
Another Pixies? This is better than Surfer Rosa
You can hear the Pixies echo in the music of so much that follows. Not always easy but brilliant.
I don't think I had ever listened to this album in full until this list gave it to me. I had only heard "Debaser," "Tame" and "Here Comes Your Man" at certain points over the past 8 or 9 years preceding this full listen, which is sort of ironic considering how much of my favourite music was influenced by this album. Needless to say, no one quite mastered the quiet LOUD quiet dynamic like Pixies did on Doolittle. The rickety, ramshackle sound of the album makes the 60s pop influence shine through like a ray of sun through a cloud of buzzing guitar clouds and clattering drums. The album somewhat loses steam past "Monkey Gone to Heaven" but there's enough solid material to last until the end, so it never really moves into less than good territory. There's also very little time wasted on this thing: songs don't ever overstay their welcome, but it can sometimes mean they come and go without leaving much of an impression. Bonus points for the really aggressive ones that feature Frank Black's screams because those are the irreplicable kind of visceral, deep-from-the-stomach-pit type that most metal frontmen spend careers searching for. All in all this is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand alt rock and the development of the sound that ruled rock for the rest of its mainstream heyday. Key Tracks: Debaser, Monkey Gone to Heaven, No 13 Baby, Gouge Away
C'est comme un camembert cet album, très sympa mais trop ça le rend meh Donc premiere écoute 4 2 eme écoute 3.5 Donc 4 quand même
Merci 1001 de me rappeler gentiment que je n'ai jamais écouté une autre chanson des Pixies que 'Where Is My Mind' Playlist pick : Tame
I can hear the influences this album and the Pixies had on a ton of my favorite artists. I have never listened to the Pixies (shhhhh dont tell anyone, that makes me a bad music nerd I think) but I have listened to Frank Black earlier in this project. Really enjoyed and will be giving it a listen again. And again. And may bump this up to 5 stars who knows.
This album, besides being packed with their best known (and most generally palatable) hits, is really interesting for its inclusion of songs that are definitely written to be performed live with relatively little regard for how they come across in a booth. I’ve complained about that in some previous reviews, but I think it works here because they have the range, and it feels purposeful. I think it comes across as more deliberate because nothing ever feels like filler, it all fits the tone of the album.
4.3
A great album I hadn’t listened to in a while and glad I reconnected with
What gives it lasting power is that it never sounds respectable. Even polished, it is still twitchy, perverse, and slightly unwell. The biblical imagery, surrealism, death, sex, environmental dread, and black humor all feel crammed into tiny songs that move too fast to fully explain themselves.
Det her er simpelthen bare et totalt fedt album. Vi er ikke i 5'er-enden, men det holder hele vejen igennem!
det er lige mig det her. Super fedt hele vejen igennem. Den gamle Brian havde givet 5 stjerner, men den nye reviderede (og mere kritiske) udgave konstaterer at det måske mere er musikhistorisk at den fortjener 5, men at den lige mangler lidt for at komme helt op på mesterværk listen ud fra en personlig betragtning.
Pretty good
GOT ME A MOVIE I WANT YOU TO KNOW SLICING UP EYEBALLS I WANT YOU TO KNOW GIRL YOURE SO GROOVY I WANT YOU TO KNOW DONT KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I AM UN CHIEN ANDALUSIA A very funny and playful rock and roll classic, one of my favorite albums of all time 10/10s Debaser Wave of Mutilation Here comes your man Mr. Grieves Hey Gouge Away
4.19/5 favorite pixies album mayb their best
You know that feeling when you get into a car crash? This is that album, in the best way possible. You got from the peace of driving (the quiet verses) to the absolute explosion that is their signature almost deafening choruses. You have the whiplash of genres throughout the whole album, most apparent in back to back surfer rock Here Comes Your Man to the beautifully textured noise rock of Dead. The only way it differs from a car crash is the end result, because god do I feel alive after this album.
Debaser: The instrumentals are GREAT. Dancing in my room. The singing was a half sec to get used to cause it's not my usual genre, but overall a banger. Tame: all in from the first line. The bass? Eats. Wave of Mutilation: I don't have much to say except for the fact that I like it I Bleed: ooh, I really like the talk/sing -thing in this. Very cool effect. Even cooler effect that it switches 👀 Here Comes Your Man: OH? A groovy little banger for me? Dead: I... am in love with that guitar? Actually would love to have more of this in current music please?? Monkey Gone To Heaven: big fan of the vocals. As usual, guitar is eating up. Mr. Grieves: Okay??? Fun at the start for sure, aaand we're off. This is fun. I like this Crackity Jones: I actually think the people who made this song might have been ON crack when they made it La La Love you: butt is a-shaking. No 13 Baby: good song. I don't have much else to say about it. It's good. There Goes My Gun: well, then pick it up again. Hey: I'm just... idk, not a big fan of this one. Silver: I am in the Wild West. I am convinced of it. Gouge away: Decent Overall: good album. Very dad rock, and honestly my mum probably has the record somewhere. I liked most of it. Not exactly riveting lyricism, but I am a BIG fan of the instrumental half of it. Some songs are out of my general listening sphere, others fit better into it. I did like that not all of the songs were so similar that it just seemed to be one song with new lyrics all the time. The loud/quiet flips are cool, if a bit whiplash-y. Then again, I suppose that is what makes them cool in the first place. 8,4/10
nice album
Pô, é bom ouvir algo mais diferenciado no meio de tanta coisa genérica. Talvez novamente o timing tenha ajudado, mas não consigo dar 3 pra esse álbum. Adicionei 2 músicas na playlist e curti o álbum todo, então vai 4. Tem umas músicas com baixo divertido, imagino muito sendo uma banda boa pra um Rockband.
Better than talking to animals
solid
8/10 - Its weird in a way that grows on you. Had to turn my Spotify streaming quality up to appreciate it. Its passionate, its catchy, its weird. The only knock against it is I _do_ get a tad tired of listening to it by the end of the album Fav Tracks: Debaser, I Bleed, Monkey Gone to Heaven Heard before? ---–- ❌ Saved a Song? ----- ✅ Saved Album? --–-- ✅ Will Listen Again? -- ✅ Album Cover -------Its the monkey!
Highlights: Debaser, Wave of Mutilation, Hey, Here Comes Your Man. In a nutshell: "must be a devil between us..." What do early movie musicals and Doolittle have in common? Francis and characters in a musical sing every note with an emotion and with projection. You can hear this on Debaser; Francis spits out each syllable angrily. And he twists the pronunciation of some words throughout the album. Many lyrics are surreal to say the least, so don't go in expecting poetry. I couldn't stop gushing over Kim Deal in my notes. Fuss free and rhythmic, but impactful when it needs to be. I adored her bass work on Hey, Tame and I Bleed especially. If Doolittle is your first Pixies album, you're in luck. It's the most accessible of the three on here. Overall: 7/10
Enjoyed, especially first half
Had a lot of fun listening to this. Definitely need to check out more by the pixies
Straight to my playlist all the songs in this album is great . I like it
The first Pixies album I have genuinely enjoyed. Debaser, Wave of Mutilation and Gone to Heaven are all great.
The artists it inspired in the future is so clear, great album
I’ve always thought of Pixies as more of a greatest hits sorta band because sometimes when their songs aren’t great they’re horrible. A little of that is in evidence on this album but for the most part there are a lot of great tracks.
Fav- here comes your man 4/5
I got a bit distracted while listening, so I didn't really take great notes while listening. But this album does really seem like your favorite band's favorite band. It's really good alt rock, and the worst thing you can probably say about it is that it's ahead of its time in a genre that you might not care that much about. This kind of album doesn't usually get an instant replay from me after my first listen, but this one did. Favorite Song(s): Monkey Gone to Heaven
Debaser is an all timer for me. There’s a lot to love on this album, it’s messy and dissonant, but it’s also catchy and beautiful.
So rock and roll
I want to listen to this again a little more carefully, but I really liked what I heard. This is truly a 4.5, verging on a 5. I really enjoyed Debaser, Wave of Mutilation, La La Love You, and Monkey Gone to Heaven.
4.5, it’s a lot of fun
Hard not to be biased about this. It was huge for me and listened to it sooo much. For me the perfect mix of hooks and melody with visceral, raw energy and some quirkiness to boot. Loved. Hard to rate higher than some of the incredible recordings here but it’s a 4-5 for me personally.
fav songs: debaser wave of mutilation here comes your man monkey gone to heaven energetic, quirky, dynamic 70/100
Mistakenly posted my review on someone else’s page on this group but I will repost here. Is this pre-grunge grunge? It’s the kind of music I like, anyway. That bass and melodramatic lyrics performed as though under duress. Yes please. Here comes your man - a bit like REM in places, a bit like Stone Roses in others. I can hear the smiths, I can hear the fall, I can hear the velvet underground, I can hear Pulp, I can hear my beloved Hole. Is this happy sad??? La La Love You is amazing. Also great (insane) cover. I will be revisiting this.

So. I like every other song on the A side (the pop ones, i.e. Debaser, Wave Of Mutilation, Here Comes Your Man, Monkey Gone to Heaven) but can't really gel with the other ones. Chris Morris (The Day Today, Brasseye, Four Lions, The Day Shall Come) does a Pixies parody called 'Motherbanger', which nails why I don't like the other songs, as sometimes Black Francis just seems to be singing absolute nonsense, which works in a pop song because I love the production of all the other instruments, but the other songs come across as just a bit meaningless (to me). I had thought this before when I had first listened to it years ago and I wondered on this listen if it needed those songs to make the pop hits even better, and... Maybe. They're not filler but I don't know how fully needed they are. The B Side is good - more of a B side with not many hits for me, but overall makes up for the sum of its parts. No. 13 Baby and Hey were good, was falling asleep by Silver and some of Gouge Away. Regardless, when it hits high, God only knows how to write (and produce!) music as good as this.
Yeah this albums good
Always heard of the pixies but never listened until i realised i played some songs from the game RockBand. It is a throwback to the 90s
I remember getting in a fight with my ex back in college over this album. She said it was total shit, and I kept defending it as genius. It's in fact, both. But both of us I think missed the point entirely. The Pixies are what they are, an eclectic, bizarre, ironic except non-ironic band with dozens and dozens of influences. There's no way everything will work, and some styles will please you more over others featured in the album, but it's still a wild ride to this day. I love how we never know where the screaming/singing will change and what tempos/chords will intentionally get screwed up. It's masterful because it was entirely controlled in the studio, albeit to the band's eventual demise (this is where they started hating working with each other). You'd have to be a control freak to make this kind of music sound so tight and cohesive. It's no longer my favorite Pixies album (kind of iffy at certain points), but it was a game changer for me as I started to get into more alternative music. 4.5 stars.
Not really my thing, but I recognize the crazy influence, monster hit, and what can be heard as Baby Grunge.
Fun Fun Fun
I’m so alt I’m so cool
Veldig 2000 film vibe miksa mæ litt midtlivskrise Top sanga: Here comes your man,hey, silver
Tant de questions que j'ai à propos des Pixies, je ne suis pas encore tout à fait un convaincu. Call me normie, mais pour moi c'est comme du grunge qui a pas encore trouvé son chemin (d'où le terme proto- j'imagine) et ça vient pas tout à fait faire vibrer ma fibre émotive. Dans l'aspect surréaliste des textes et des explorations sonores, ça me fait beaucoup penser aux Beatles, du côté Lennony, notamment Mr. Grieves. Mais encore une fois je suis vraiment normie, mon réfèrent étant les Beatles. Je me suis d'ailleurs posé la question qu'est-ce que les McCartney de ce monde qui trippaient tant sur les explorations studio et la disto dans les années 60 ont pensé de l'explosion grunge.
7.5/10
The start of “Wave of Mutilation” is one of those songs that lives rent free in my head whether I like it or not (it lives next door to “Sundown” by Gordon Lightfoot) I enjoyed the majority of this album. Jagged harmonies throughout. Hoping to see more of this genre in the future.
It is hard to call an album by the Pixies accessible, but there it is. I have enjoyed a few singles by the band, but I haven't really gotten into them in the past. Something happened during this listen through, however, and I am starting to reconsider. The music is varied and complex, often sounding garage-ish yet extremely well produced. The energy is solid, and I am intrigued by the lyrics when I can hear them (old age hearing, clarity, and focus). You win this round Pixies. You win.
For a lot of people this is probably a 5 but for me it’s more a 3.5, maybe a 4 in parts
The listener’s journey through Doolittle is a mix of high-energy "bangers" like the vocal powerhouse "Crackity Jones" and the upbeat "Mr. Grieves," contrasted with tracks like "Tame" and "I Bleed" that fail to land. While the catchy accessibility of "Here Comes Your Man" and the eerie, medieval atmosphere of "Silver" stand out, much of the record, including the cryptic "Monkey Gone to Heaven" and the unintelligible "Dead" feels jarring or incoherent. This lack of cohesion, paired with a stylistic range that echoes both the punk energy of Green Day and the grunge foundations of Nirvana, results in a 4/5 rating, suggesting the album is a product of its time that requires specific context to fully appreciate.
Great album, even the weaker songs on here are still good Has some absolute bangers littered through besides those weaker ones
Have always heard of this band but never really ever listened to their stuff. Enjoyed the ride. I can see why they were so influential
let em get jealous watching us
супер альбом прям очень ярко вписывается в мои вкусы. треки короткие S tier Hey; La la Love you; here comes your man; wave of mutilation
I vert much enjoyed this Pixies album. Lots of raw energy, some silliness, but lots of hooks to sink into!
Incredible baselines and edgy vocals/lyrics, sick guitar riffs and great backing drums. It was incredible album, but it did have that affect of all bleeding into each other as previous albums in this genre do.
Super original rock record — maybe slightly ahead of its time? Likely influenced a huge number of bands that would follow. 4.0/5.0
Good album, definitley ahead of its time. I honestly thought the pixies started in the mid 90s, I wasn’t too familiar with them. Cool to see they were pioneers of alt rock and grunge.
bangin, could be a 5
Muy buena mezcla y sonido del bajo durante todo el álbum
Ojämn platta men några fantastiska singlar drar upp betyget. En fyra
tetszik az, hogy mennyire nem veszik magukat komolyan, ettől kicsit komikussá válik, így még szórakoztatóbbá. ez nagyon jól áll nekik, és felszabadultá teszi a hallgatót is. a számok rövidek (15 min/38 perc) ettől kevésbé érezhető a monotonotás, mert mindig érkezik egy új téma. hát a here comes your man az a here comes your man. ott van ez a felszabadult jól lét, a játékosság, de valami elképesztő szívezorító kesergés. nekem az a szám mindig a határtalan szabadságról fog szólni, annak minden csodájával és fájdalmával együtt.
i love it
It's okay, has its moments but not my favourite Pixies album
I never gave this album the respect it deserves. I always said I only like that one Pixies song that goes HEY ("been trying to meet you"). It's so sexy. and I still don't like "Here comes your man" (is it a cover of a Buddy Holly song?) Today is my 40th birthday, so I guess my music tastes have just matured to include the Pixies moving forward! that's all right with me.
took a few tracks to get familiar with the music. really cool album, something different from what i usually listen to.
Great album, has some of the Pixies best songs. Thoroughly enjoyable.
(2.75)
some real classics on this one
4 de 5 Con una producción refinada pero que se equilibra bien con la crudeza que mostraban al inicio, Pixies creó una pieza distintiva de el rock alternativo. Incluye bien logrados e intensos riffs, líneas de bajo sobresalientes y a menudo referenciando historias bíblicas, siendo tomado como el punto máximo de la banda. A destacar: Track 1 - Debaser Track 2 - Tame Track 3 - Wave of Mutilation Track 5 - Here Comes Your Man Track 7 - Monkey Gone to Heaven Track 10 - La La Love You Track 11 - No. 13 Baby Track 13 - Hey
Pixies have a way of making noise and shouting somehow easy to listen to. somehow the amateurish song structures and abrasive vocals are suitable enough for at least a few of the songs to appear on the radio. This is also apparent on other albums like Surfa Rosa and Tromp Le Monde. Pretty much a perfect example of alternative rock
This was great, really enjoyed the Pixies. Here Comes Your Man has been stuck in my head since listening to this!
Favourite Songs: Debaser Wave Of Mutilation Dead
I spent a long time trying to convince myself that I liked the Pixies more than I actually do. I can't tell you how many times I listened to this album in my youth just to feel cool. Eventually, I came to my senses. The Pixies are low-key mid. This is their best work, though.
Mutilation, Here Comes Your Man, Debaser, and Monkey are fantastic. The rest are hit or miss for me. But it's still great.
Ubiquitous sound. Easy to spot the influence they’ve had on “alternative” music.
First of all, let me say that this is actually really good. It also feels like a gen X final boss album. You can hear traces of The Stone Roses or Sonic Youth, but you can also hear things that would later inspire My Bloody Valentine and the entire shoegaze genre. It's dark and effortlessly cool. Highly recommended.
I forgot how weird parts of this album are. Don't get me wrong it has some absolutely great music on here. There is a reason why Wave of Mutilation and Here Comes your Man are still played and show up in movies to set the time period. There are a couple of other songs I've always been surprised weren't hits. Either way the Pixies have to be related to Sonic Youth in spirt. Some of the tunes are weird and out there. Like they had fun making them and no one said maybe don't lead with Debaser. If you like to listen to experimental stuff then Debaser is for you, if your a fan of more straightforward stuff skip it. Overall it was fun to revel in nostalgia. I swear a quarter of the school had owned this or had a bootleg of it.
Really well balanced era defining rock.
debase her!? i hardly know her! pretty good though. it's all over the place stylistically and sonically, but i enjoyed it. "monkey gone to heaven", "crackity jones", "gouge away", and "i bleed" are some of favourites off this album. i had to listen to this one twice to get a good read on it but i think it benefited heavily from the second listen. it's a little funny how much this inspired kurt cobain with nirvana because you REALLY hear it. this struck a nice balance between sounding rough and aggressive but still having the clarity to carry its energy. not all of it hits for me but where it does, it definitely does.
Great album, need a lot of time to digest.
Debaser was such an awesome, powerful intro to this album! Pure, solid, punk fun. Tame was also so solid! I loved that it then slowed down for Wave of Mutilation. I Bleed had some different ideas, but I ended up really enjoying it. Here comes your man is such a great track. A pleasure to listen to it again. Monkey gone to heaven was an interesting time. Mr Grieves and Crackity jones were fun short little tracks. La la love you was decent. Hey was quite enjoyable as well. Silver had its moments as a mostly instrumental! Gouge away was an awesome closer! A great album. 3.5/5 ⭐️ 103/1089
i’ve heard this album plenty of times before. but i don’t know if ive ever really paid close attention to it. i remember being slightly disappointed by my pixies deep dive a while back. i think it was just surfer rosa not being as good as i remember. i have revisited this one a couple times more often since, i like it. monkey gone to heaven gets stuck in my head pretty often. it’s good. i can’t tell if it’s necessarily filler but i found myself just wading through most of the songs, waiting for the really good tracks most of the time. four seems too high, but three seems too low, so i did a four.
first five tracks are all time. the rest is also pretty good
SIX SEVEN. SIX SEVEN. SIX SEVEN. SIX SEVEN. SIX SEVEN. SIX SEVEN.

(actually related) gouge away top 100 album closers of all time
Really good album with some amazing bangers. I really like Pixies and this will make them go back to my playlists.
un poco gritones pero hay algún que otro temazo
I love the Pixies!
gud sup probby like it more than rolling stones which was today right before
Me gusto mucho la canción de Hey
For an album that’s this listenable and acceptable in a public setting there is a surprising amount of rough and tumble. It gets intense and screamy with heightened occasionally violent lyrics without ever tipping into anything even vaguely anti-social. The focus on delivering a big melody with every song means that there are hooks that give the listener a route through the noise, but the abrasiveness then enhances everything around it, upping the excitement. An all time classic.
Gouge away +1
Like it a Lot!
4/7
Ahhh yes, monkey album
Holy nineties indie. You can hear it all in here. Clearly influenced it’s next decade
7/10
banger!
I saw a lot of passionate fans in the comments for this album. I enjoyed La La Love You, No 13 Baby, There Goes My Gun, Hey, and Gouge Away the most of the album. The rest definitely has its charm and grime that I enjoyed to a certain degree, but I couldn't really fall in love with this album. Which is a shame because usually I love Pixies. The instrumentation is sick, and I'd enjoy listening to some of this album again. I just couldn't find enjoyment out of some of the tracks.
Such an influential album. It was a good listen. Album 32, March 30, 2024
Quite enjoyed this one. Better than the other Pixies album and a few more songs I recognised.
What a phenomenal piece. Didn't know punk alt rock punk could be this good, not how many influences this band had. It's not perfect, but boy is it groundbreaking.
Classic.
3.75. I dig this one more than Surfer Rosa.
All these years and I just learned that The Pixies are not the band I thought they were. I'm in my 40's and am still hearing songs for the first time and saying "Oh yea, Weird Al does a parody of this one." I also hear some songs that sound like heavily influenced Weezer. This album is nearly 40 years old and still sounds fresh and original.
4.25 - I should have listened to this a long time ago.
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
unc music
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
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
