This album did a lot for indie rock and the “grunge” scene that would emerge in the early 90’s. Kurt Cobain even admitted to pretty much ripping off the Pixies when he wrote Smells Like Teen Spirit lol. No disrespect to Kurt. Still a legendary song

This is a 10/10 album. I recommend listening to Sonic Youth if you enjoyed Doolittle. Both bands are essentially responsible for the sound of rock in the 90s. Recommend either Daydream Nation or Goo

Attempts to decipher Pixies lyrics

im here so early that the video’s only in 360p

Kim Deal the bass player is the background vocalist. She formed the Breeders after and they're also amazing. I also love the first two Frank Black (lead singer) solo albums

i heard this album when it first came out and I still listen to it. Love all the Pixies albums.

Hell yeah baby this album is a classic, and we got the Goat reacting to it.

If this is the first time you're hearing Pixies, its your lucky day.

I always forget how influential and groundbreaking this album is. I always just think I’m listening to a mid-90s rock album and I am shocked every time I see that it was released in the 80s

No 13 baby had me in a state. I remember my band when I was a young boy covered it and we jammed on the outro for 20min

Female vocals are Kim Deal, the bassist.

Literally he never misses.

Just finally got to see them live and it just struck my soul!! They are my favorite Band so it makes sense, really enjoyed getting to see someone discover them and you are right Joey Santiago's guitar playing is something else!

"Un Chien Andalou" is an avant garde French film in which a woman has her eyeball cut with a straight razor(IRL)-not for the faint of heart.

You can mutilate anything. Any body part or even objects.

Just saw Pixies live recently and they went soo dang hard. Highly recommend.

If you like stuff that doesn't really sound like anything you've heard before, or even just the Pixies, I HIGHLY recommend Frank Black's solo album Teenager of the Year. Upbeat, gleefully manic, unapologetically weird, and brilliant composition & lyrics. It has enough great-from-the-first-listen songs to carry 2-3 different albums, somehow stuffed into one. Gives the impression he wrote the entire thing in a weekend while swept up in a wave of genius and inspiration.

The lyrics are typically written around what syllables sound good. They are more surreal than anything. Musical equivalent of watching a David Lynch movie.

Unmatched consistency from you Smags!

Hey is POSSIBLY a perfect song in my estimation.
