I disagree with it being a more commercial Doolittle



I see it as a stark change in direction that rejects Doolittle's bombastic nature in favor of slower, chiller, surfier and spacier songs. I wouldn't call it a "poppier Doolittle" since I think it honestly isn't like Doolittle at all, nor trying to be

That's exactly what I meant by more commercial. As well as the different style of production. The pixies were made famous for their bombastic hardcore pop songs.

That's fine, but I like it when artists try something radically different, it's refreshing



Especially since Francis' tight songwriting is still present





Hell, the biggest reason comeback Pixies sucks so much is because it keeps trying to capture the magic of Doolittle instead of trying to be its own thing.

"Especially since Francis' tight songwriting is still present"
It is, but nowhere near as great as the previous album. This was rushed iirc.

"the biggest reason..."
100%.

Holy hell the drop-off is real. They really only had two albums worth of ideas.
