Come On Pilgrim was followed by the band's first full-length album, Surfer Rosa.

Norton produced their second full album, Doolittle, which was recorded in the last six weeks of 1988 and seen as a departure from the raw sound of Come On Pilgrim and Surfer Rosa.

Doolittle had a much cleaner sound, largely due to Norton and the production budget of US $ 40, 000, which was quadruple that of Surfer Rosa.

" Monkey Gone to Heaven " was a Top 10 modern rock radio hit in the U. S., and reached the Top 100 in the U. K. Like Surfer Rosa, Doolittle was acclaimed by fans and music critics alike.

" Cobain cited Surfer Rosa as one of his main musical influences, and particularly admired the album's natural and powerful drum sounds — a result of Steve Albini's influence on the record.

No music videos were released from Come on Pilgrim or Surfer Rosa, but from Doolittle onwards, the following videos were made: " Monkey Gone To Heaven ", " Here Comes Your Man ", " Velouria ", " Dig For Fire ", " Allison ", " Alec Eiffel ", " Head On ", and " Debaser "; these were later released on the 2004 DVD Pixies.
