classic albums, atsonicpark edition # 21: pixies - surfer rosa - Page 3

Really? I think the weaker "filler" tracks on Doolittle (Say, There Goes My Gun) are better songs than the weaker "filler" tracks on Surfer Rosa (Like Tony's Theme or Oh My Golly), but it's all subjective opinion anyway. Both albums are glorious.

Derek · 06.25.2010, 07:11 PM

I like Tony's Theme and Oh My Golly.

I don't like Say or There Goes My Gun.

Jeremy · 06.25.2010, 07:19 PM

Hah, I should have phrased that better.

What about Bossanova and Tromp Le Monde? Which do you prefer out of those two?

~Jeremy~

automatic bzooty · 06.26.2010, 07:01 PM

say? ... hey?

definitely not filler.

EVOLghost · 06.26.2010, 07:13 PM

Hmm I'm not sure, those are two equally great records in my opinion. Okay I'll go with Tromp Le Monde!

The B-Side File (3rd Edition) bootleg kicks so much ass!!! Live at the BBC is also great!

"Hey", "Debasser", "Here Comes your Man", and especially fucking "DEAD"!!!!!!!!!! are all classics.

atsonicpark · 07.01.2010, 01:48 AM

"Dead" alone is reason to buy the album!

HEY YOUR LOVELY TAN BELLY IS STARTING TO GLOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

URIAH HIT THE CRAPPER THE CRAPPER URIAH HIT THE CRAPPER THE CRAPPER
DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

atsonicpark · 07.01.2010, 01:49 AM

The day I bought Doolittle, I listened to it 4 times in a row.

Yeah I like the obvious suspects but I think it's kinda shitty as a full album.

pbradley · 07.01.2010, 05:01 AM

I haven't listened to the Pixies in a long time but I'm listen to "The Sad Punk" a lot now. So awesome.

I can't agree with this. While all the songs aren't as strong, I like that ramshackle quality, and it's better than Dinosaur Jr. or something. Hah.

Derek · 07.01.2010, 03:22 PM

Well yeah I'd rather listen to Doolittle than Dinosaur Jr haha.

But hey, I think Surfer Rosa, Bossanova and Trompe Le Monde are all mindblowing, surely that gives me a lil credit?

atsonicpark · 07.01.2010, 03:54 PM

Bossanova? Ewww!

STORMY WEATHER is the worst song EVER!

DeadDiscoDildo · 07.01.2010, 06:42 PM

There are about 3 songs I dont like on Surfer Rosa, which is the same with doolittle. They always seem to have about 3 or 4 shitty shitty songs on every album and the rest are gold.

Monkey gone to heaven (wtf is that about? boring)

No 13

and La La Love you

don't do it for me.

Same with Tonys theme and a couple other ones I dont even bother to remember the names of.

Overall bossonova doesnt do it for me, tho there are a few ones i like, however, as far as that direction of the pixies goes...I love trompe.

My bassist wanted to cover "all over the world"...I dont get it tho, just sounds like wankin to me...

atsonicpark · 07.01.2010, 06:55 PM

No. 13 Baby is one of the best songs on the album. Listen to that guitar work!

All Over The World is cool for the first couple of minutes. Bossanova kinda just sucks, it has a few cool surf sounds but that's it. Just a lousy album.

DeadDiscoDildo · 07.01.2010, 07:46 PM

I prefer the guitar work on Dead.

Surfer Rosa on the other hand is completely perfect.

Surfer Rosa IS perfect.

Doolittle has a bunch of great songs, but I find the production really underwhelming. I prefer the BBC versions of every Doolittle song.
