Pixies - Doolittle (VINYL LP)

"After 1988’s brilliant but abrasive Surfer Rosa, the Pixies’ sound couldn’t get much more extreme. Their Elektra debut, Doolittle, reins in the noise in favor of pop songcraft and accessibility. Producer Gil Norton’s sonic sheen adds some polish, but Black Francis’ tighter songwriting focuses the group’s attack. 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." - All Music Guide
