		Therefore, with each successive album the Pixies were able to grow and change and tweak their already brilliant style.
		Doolittle is hands down my favorite Pixies release—and it is the most appropriate place for new fans to start their fascination with the talented troupe.
		Whereas the earlier album was thick, challenging, and loudly abrasive Doolittle definitely had parts that were pop.

		A decent amount of rock bands start with a bang, issuing an album and/or an EP with the kind of presence and audacity that leads critics and fans to herald the group as the second-coming-of-this-or-that or the-band-we've-been-waiting-for, possessing of music that can define a generation or breed inspiration for decades to come.
		But Doolittle will likely be remembered as the best of the bunch, a singular expression that saw for miles and bettered the lives of countless listeners.
		Their most accessible album, Doolittle's wide-ranging moods and sounds make it one of their most eclectic and ambitious.

		The album is also a benefactor of how Alternative music is today and is a pinnacle of independent music in general.
		It may seem shocking that such an album can be brilliant and oblique at the same time but Frank Black and Kim Deal make their way through it with random rants and heavenly voices.
		This album was also a highlight of the 80's which was probably one of the worst decades of music in the 20th century.

		It was the album that caught the Pixies at their stride and easily the most popular of all the Pixies albums.
		For an album produced in the 80's it was a great deal different than the pop of Rick Astley or even the strange ethereal music of the Cocteau Twins that shared the 4AD label with them.
		Grieves' it makes perfect sense that this album be called Doolittle; The man in the middle, the one who intervenes between the spiritual realm and the animals that live on this planet, human and all others.

	Doolittle by Pixies CD
		DOOLITTLE perfectly captures The Pixies' refusal to be categorized into one form of musical identity.
		The album's most gorgeous melody is wrapped around the words "cease to exist, giving my goodbye," and crowned with the title "Wave Of Mutilation." The rest of the album follows suit, and even the love songs bear Francis' warped humor, boasting titles like "Tame" and "Dead." DOOLITTLE is quintessential Pixies.
		This album is unbelievable...This truly shows the start of what became grunge and 90's alternative music.If The Pixies had stayed around through the 90's they would've probably been bigger than Nirvana and Pearl Jam.

		They only produced 5 albums and split up before they could become parodies of themselves, and on this album they were totally superb.
		At their height this band were unbeatable and this album is a classic compendium of the talent that was the Pixies.
		If you haven't got the message yet I like this album and rate it as a classic, by turns moving, terrifying and funny this was the sound of the Pixies......

		Doolittle's most ferocious moments, like "Dead," a visceral retelling of David and Bathsheba's affair — are more stylized than the group's past outbursts.
		These Pixies from Boston have laid open their secrets with 'Doolittle' by including a beautifully produced lyric booklet with the initial 30,000 copies (quick kids before they fly away!), a slick and artistic grimoire which mates the words of 'Doolittle' together with Simon Larbalestier's portraits of demented decay.
		Doolittle chugs into action on a New Wave bass line and frontman Black Francis' adrenalized barking about a weird scene from a Luis Bu–uel movie.

		Doolittle, in my opinion, is their best CD.
		It may take some getting used to, but this album is the most loveable album I've come across for a long time.
		I think that Doolittle can get a little boring at times, while Surfer Rosa is rough and abrasive all the way through.

	Pixies - Surfer Rosa Review - sputnikmusic
		With their two masterpieces “Surfer Rosa" and “Doolittle", the Pixies showed the underground, they could still be dark and brooding but instill a very deep pop twist to the “alternative" music of the day.
		While to criticize “Doolittle" as being a poor follow-up, it certainly is nowhere near in the same category as “Surfer Rosa" which is one of the most honest recordings of all time.
		This album was a one shot deal, and only one group of individuals could’ve made it, and luckily for the Pixies it was them.

		doolittle is an awesome album; i listen to it non-stop, but surfer rosa is raw, loud, pure perfection, no matter how the sound was achieved (extra mics in the drum set, etc..) nice site though.
		The Pixies are the kind of group people sometimes reserve for that word, and 'Doolittle' of all their albums is the one that showcases their full range of achievements and styles.

		My only thought is that with only 5 albums and a bigger official collection/live album out already, someone ready for the Pixies experience should just spring for all their studio albums.
		When judging which Pixies album is the best, you might as well toss a coin, because, after all, we are dealing with varying degrees of near-perfection.
		While some Pixies fans balk at this album, I actually find it to be pretty essential-easily up there with their collection of B-Sides, and in my opinion, up there with Bossanova (their weakest album).

	Pixies-Doolittle
		The Pixies' released their third album Doolittle in the spring of 1989 and it instantly became their second classic album in a row.
		Unlike the diamond-in-the-rough nature of Surfer Rosa, produced by noise-rock's Steve Albini, Doolittle is instantly listenable and is the most widely popular Pixies album.
		The more accessible sound of Doolittle along with the release of two videos to promote the singles established the Pixies as a minor player on the edge of the pop mainstream, while they kept their indie credibility.

		Deal, seemingly unperturbed, was recording another album at the time -- the Breeders' "Last Splash" -- which would wind up out-selling each of the Pixies' albums and Francis' future solo efforts as well.
		Case in point: a little album released two weeks before Trompe Le Monde, called Nevermind, was described by its creator (one Cobain) to have been a collection of "Pixies rip-offs." 'Nuff said.
		For all of Surfer Rosa's import, Doolittle is the greater creative achievement, in part because it reveals the Pixies as a band that can make its mark in many different ways.

	Music: Doolittle Records
		After the release of both their albums, Denton's alt.country dust-kickers Slobberbone, like Cole, have been tempted with offers from major labels, but have remained with Doolittle.
		Hamell on Trial is a touchier subject; Mercury and Doolittle made a deal to re-release the one-time local's first album, Big as Life, on the major and Mercury bought the option for his second record as well — last year's The ChordIsMightier Than the Sword.
		The "new" Doolittle, the one that Cole would rather focus on, is centered around the powerful booze-soaked roots-rock of Slobberbone and the country-bluegrass-swing of Chicago's Mount Pilot.

	Pixies: Doolittle - Playing God - Stylus Magazine
		The first is like The Best Pixies Album in the World…Ever!—you know, the hits, the concert favorites, the ones that always end up on their compilations—“Debaser,” “Tame,” “Wave of Mutilation,” “Here Comes Your Man,” “Monkey Gone to Heaven,” one after the other.
		I almost left this off the album just to be antagonistic, since I can’t for the life of me understand why this is the only Pixies song my alternative radio station will play, but it is still a fine song, with its catchy surf riff and throwaway lyrics, if not their finest.
		Possibly my favorite song off the original Doolittle, this masterpiece of tension is a perfect example of why The Pixies were given credit for inventing the template of quiet-verse / loud-chorus that would act as the blueprint for an entire generation of alternative rockers.

	The Pixies
		The album's like Surfer Rosa with about a half-kettle of hooky goodness poured into the pot, and hearing the band go all over the place both instrumentally and melodically while still generally staying within the confines of good pop music is truly a special thing indeed.
		The more conventional approach to the album leads to some problems, though -- part of the Pixies' whole appeal was their out-of-control, totally original and askew approach to melody-writing, and they're simply not as adept at churning out solid rock 'n' roll for the apparently nearly-nonexistent contemporary 1990 rock scene.
		The album's more boring and generic qualities only really come to a head during the last six songs -- otherwise, the first eight songs are given roughly the same musical approach, but the melodies are strong enough that it doesn't matter.

		If Doolittle is the suburbs (which is a stretch, and no offense meant as I have only the most intense, burining respect for the Pixies cataloge as a whole) then Trompe Le Monde is just north of downtown, where most of the cars are pieced together with duct tape and nobody will walk at night.
		In a way, "Doolittle" was the pinnacle of the Pixies sound, so I can understand the praise heaped upon it.
		Bossa Nova was the first change in the Pixies' sound, but this album has so much more going on in it's songs than all of their previous recordings.

		Certain albums commemorate certain places and periods, and some posess the power of inducing recollection so strongly that it is uncomfortable to listen to them.
		As for another album mentioned here, back in high school it was forbidden to even bring a walkman into our school but for some odd reason my one friend and I could walk into the cafeteria with a boom box and sit and play Led Zeppelin IV out loud and not get in trouble.
		Since the albums I listened to in high school were already between 5-10 years old, it's interesting to see how my teenage soundtrack could be similar to that of someone who grew up in an entirely different decade.
