Probably their most consistent album, without the highs of yore
Firstly, I just have to say how annoying it is that the track listing on the back of the cd is put in random order-you have to pull the booklet out from the cd to see the correct track listing. I have no idea what that is all about. Secondly, overall, I think, this album could be their most...

The Amazing Pixies
This band has struck me big time. Their music is intriguing, full of information and feelings, yet minimalistic in its melody. Every time I hear them, I keep wondering how could Frank Black compose such overwhelming lyrics, how was he able to express so many things using simply words and tones of...

Different animal than its predicessors...but
still incredible. Francis evolved so quickly that every Pixie album turned out with a much different sound. They're all masterpieces though, even with the couple not so attractive tracks on this one and Bossanova. Get Frank Black's first two solo albums (at least). They might as well be Pixie...

A hard pill to swallow.
It is a hard pill to swallow intially for Pixies fans used to the insane sounds of their earlier albums.I intially didn't like this album at all. I'd go as far to say I'd hated it for the longest time. It didn't sound right to me, and where did all of my self-mutilating, silly Pixies go? Well,...

OH MY GOD!
PIXIES NEVER DISAPPOINT. This album contains the bizarre nature signature of the band and only Frank Black's vocals can pull it off without trying too hard to be something different. Trompe Le Monde is an album that sounds as if they were only having a jolly good time but not experimenting...

SPACEY DREAMS AND DISONANCE MAKE IT THEIR BEST
I have to say that after immersing myself in everything Pixies, this album came out on top for me. I mean I love all their albums; they came in this order - Come on Pilgrim, Surfer Rosa, Doolittle, Bossanova, Trompe La Monde. Every one has a different side of the same vibe that the Pixies...

If not their greatest, certainly close to it
Along with "Doolittle," Trompe holds up as the best top to bottom Pixies album. Not one weak song and some of their greatest like "Letter to Memphis," "Palace of the Brine" and "Motorway to Roswell." So Kim Deal does not play a major role on the album, who cares? The Pixies always were Joey...

Best Pixies CD!
This is my favorite Pixies CD!! Forget Surfer Rosa, forget Doolittle, this is their best stuff. The CD should be listened to as a whole. Head On, Bird Dream, Distance Equals, are all fantastic songs. Buy this CD.

Trompe Le Monde...
After all the success from 88-90' the Pixies were riding high on success. Throughout the time the band had progressed from surfy punk plaster to spacy chopping riffs but keeping alot of the same elements. Frank Black's vocals have always been a staple of the Pixies, he wails and whines his way...
