Reviews Customer Reviews for Doolittle      this monkeys listening to heaven      Rating:       i got this record just in time...i was being suffocated with music that all sounded exactly the same! so getting doolittle was really a good clean breath of fresh air for me. what makes it such a great album is all the variety in it. one minuet your dancing to "debaser" and the next your being moved by the sad, revealing pain of "hey" THEN your banging your head to "gouge away". so it truly is a work of art....in conclusion, if you like nirvana's first album and weezer's Pinkerton, you should get the album that inspired both of them...you wont be dissapointed     Customer Reviews for Doolittle Cd      I have no clue how this could even be given a bad review      Rating:      While "Surfer Rosa" is probably the Pixies best album, this is my favorite. Which is the same as the Manic Street Preachers, because while I know that their album "The Holy Bible" is without a doubt their best, it is also their most abrasive. That is why I prefer "Everything Must Go" for the Manic Street Preachers and "Doolittle" for the Pixies. Now, a lot of people might not even know who the Manic Street Preachers are, which is too bad, but even more might not understand the comparison. Here it is: Artistic as you can be, you need to some joy in your music to make it fun to listen to, and neither "The Holy Bible" nor "Surfer Rosa" have very much of that. But "Doolittle"...just listen to "Here Comes Your Man", "Debaser", "Hey", "Monkey Gone To Heaven", or even "Gouge Away" and you'll see how much fun and freedom the Pixies had with Gil Norton as a producer as opposed to Steve Albini. As far as desired aesthetic, Steve Albini was very similar to Richey James in that they both wanted an autonomous execution for "Surfer Rosa" and "The Holy Bible" respectively. Yet the albums that came after these two let loose their iron fisted grips were jubilant in their freedom. (While I know it was very sad that Richey James had to disappear, I do not know if the Manic Street Preachers could have made an album as fun as "Everything Must Go" with him around, same as Steve Albini for the Pixies). Am I making a statement that the two albums from each era were equal in scope and greatness even if different in execution? Yes I am. Both "Doolittle" and "Everything Must Go" are the most enjoyable albums from each group and should be listed among the best albums for the 80s and 90s respectively.
