Pixies' Surfer Rosa still sounds like it was recorded in a concrete stairwell by people with something to prove, and that rawness is exactly the point.

Released in 1988 as the Boston band's first full-length album, following the Come On Pilgrim mini-album, it was recorded with Steve Albini, whose bone-dry, room-heavy approach left Black Francis, Kim Deal, Joey Santiago and David Lovering nowhere to hide. Nobody wanted to. The record became a touchstone for the alternative explosion that followed, and Kurt Cobain was famously among its biggest admirers.

Bone Machine opens with Lovering's drums cracking like gunshots before the guitars lurch in sideways. Gigantic hands the spotlight to Kim Deal for a sweet, swaggering anthem she co-wrote, and Where Is My Mind? floats on a lonely, ghostly guitar figure that later found a second life closing Fight Club. Elsewhere Francis howls in Spanish, mutters in English and somehow makes both sound like hooks.

The loud-quiet-loud dynamic that shaped a decade of guitar music is all over these songs, along with a twisted sense of humour that most of the band's imitators forgot to copy.

Thirteen songs in a little over half an hour, and not a dull second among them. A cornerstone for any shelf that leans left of the dial.
