Review of Trompe Le Monde - Pixies by
greenierexyboy
Advantages: An almost indecent amount of variety on display
Disadvantages: Not so much a "band" record
Bands are strange, ephemeral things. Logic doesn't apply. What would happen if you threw together the world's greatest singer, its most technically proficient bassist, its most ludicrously gifted guitarist, its most joint-wreckingly dextrous keyboardist, and Christendom's most almighty drummer? Who knows, but I'm betting it'd be catastrophically rubbish. That's not what makes a great band. It's a personal thing, but I think that bands coping with ...

...band for every generation. Trompe le Monde... the album that ended that generation. In fact, Trompe le Monde is credited with being one of the greatest Pixies albums and appears in many top 100 albums of the 1990's.
The album itself was released in 1991 and includes a wide variety of music, and can be described as highly eclectic, no matter how cliched the term has become. It is definitely one of Black Francis's finer musical moments.
It contains ...

Some guy named Joe
Review of Trompe Le Monde - Pixies by
godspeed
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
Trompe le Monde opens with the record’s title track, a short song which demonstrates some of Joey Santiago’s most impressive guitar tricks. The Pixies once said that this album, which was to be their last studio album, was going to be, “a full-on rock record”. The opener sets the vibe for the rest of the album, with the band’s punkish, at times tragic, and less frequently tuneful songs, only three of which last for more than three minutes.
Look ...

Back in Black
Review of Trompe Le Monde - Pixies by
orinoco1
Advantages: Accessible, great fun.
Disadvantages: None
Trompe Le Monde is the Pixies final LP before the band split leaving a legacy of bad feeling between Black Francis and Kim Deal. I find the album more accessible than earlier ones such as 'Bossanova' and 'Surfer Rosa' which, although excellent, take more time to click properly. 'Trompe Le Monde' contains classic Pixies ingredients. Explosive, chaotic, adrenalin (probably amphetamine) fuelled music with twisted vocals screamed as if there's no tommorow. ...
