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. For example, 'Subbaculcha'("...drug running on this Panamanian Schooner....She walks the deck in a black dress and me I dress up in black.") or the sexual politics-(ish) of 'U-Mass' ("Oh kiss me cunt, Oh kiss my cock....."). The album contains an excellent cover of 'Head On' by The Jesus and Mary Chain, more speed and energy than the original. The production is excellent, a real wall of sound; songs build and build with tension then literally explode. A great album!
