This is my favorite Pixies album, probably because it's their most raw album. Doolittle seems to refined and polished in its sound. And only a few tracks on Doolittle comes close the best of this album.
I love the build up on this album, it's like the album is quite tempered up until Where is My Mind? and from there on it all seems like this nightmarish cartoon.

Raw perfection. During a time period of hair metal, dull synth pop, and Billy Ocean, this is one of the albums that saved the 80s from itself.

It seems that everybody agrees on this being a great album, and while I do think "Where Is My Mind" is a great song, I find the rest to be way too random. The guitar on "Vamos" is one of the most annoying things I've ever heard!

Amazing album, it is a shame it is so front heavy though. Fantastic up to Where is My Mind? Then every track after that doesn't compare to the front half, even though they are still good tracks.
