I thought that was the general consensus, yeah.

Doolittle

I think most people are Surfa Rosa queers. I <3 Doolittle

Doolittle has my favorite Pixies song on it, that is why I would say I like it more, but Surfa Rosa has more songs I like, so that is why I would say I like it more. Hard choice.

Surfer Rosa is the better album. Doolittle has some skippable songs and the production is ass compared to SR.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #7 on:** July 23, 2008, 08:36:09 PM »

Doolittle has my favorite pixie songs:

Monkey Gone to Heaven
Here Comes Your Man
Hey
Debaser
Wave of Mutilation
Gouge Away
La-La-Love You

Surfa Rosa has.....Where is my mind?

TVC15 · « **Reply #8 on:** July 23, 2008, 08:41:49 PM »

Surfer Rosa has. . . not a bad song on it. I won't deny that Doolittle has some great tracks, but the production is so distracting. It's all shiny and clean and shit. Fuck that.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #9 on:** July 23, 2008, 08:43:14 PM »

oh, I always thought doolittles production was not clear enuff

TVC15 · « **Reply #10 on:** July 23, 2008, 08:45:55 PM »

I like Surfer Rosa's production because it sounds like a garage band having fun. I think it really suited them well.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #11 on:** July 23, 2008, 08:46:30 PM »

What did you think of the remaster of surfer rosa

TVC15 · « **Reply #12 on:** July 23, 2008, 08:52:05 PM »

I think it's fine. I don't recall it being all that much different. Just a technological spit shine, I guess.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #13 on:** July 23, 2008, 10:09:16 PM »

I can't decide between the two.

my biggest Pixies bugbear is that "Monkey Gone to Heaven" gets all the big props. It's not a terrible song or anything, but it's just a pretty average Pixies songs. There are MANY better on Doolittle alone. Give Debaser or Hey the props instead.

It's one of my favorites, but I think my favorite ever is between Here Comes Your Man and La-La-Love You

Sorry, nope.

This is true, if only for Debaser. DEBASER!

Surfer Rosa

I would have preferred it as a Rock Band download by far.
Doolittle's got some sweet songs though, it's just got songs that I don't wanna hear. Surfer Rosa production is nice and gritty too

huckleberry · « **Reply #18 on:** July 23, 2008, 11:12:08 PM »

Surfer Rosa for sure.

But Doolittle does have Gouge away.

On an odd note I got to hang out with Kim Deal when she came to see a Guided by Voices show I attended 10 years or so ago. She is one cool chick.

Debaser would have sounded even better if the Pixies didn't want to apparently aspire to sound like Poison or Aerosmith. Going for a polished sound made the band sound like shit.

EvilBoris · « **Reply #20 on:** July 24, 2008, 04:38:42 AM »

made the songs spunkier... motorway to roswell, havalina, alison, planet of sound... smooth stuff. surfer rosa and doolittle can duel it for third spot thank you.
