| | [AlecEiffel.net] Pixies Reviews, Trompe Le Monde |
 | | 'Trompe Le Monde' is a greasy slab of noise, devoid of the variety of previous Pixies works, and strapped with a desire to sound harder, grungier, and more love-less than ever before. |
 | | While 'Palace Of The Brine' offers a rich, glowing staple to 'Trompe Le Monde', its guitars and vocals crush grooved into one, the riff a respectable backbone of sound, the structure capturing the Pixies on top form, it's the third track 'Alec Eiffel' that will come to be as popular as 'Debaser' live. |
 | | Presented as tracks one to 15, with its garish cover, over-compensated production techniques, and ugly snarls, 'Trompe Le Monde' is a tedious beast, but climb inside it, rip it apart and explore the pockets of brilliance and you'll know the Pixies are still up there, they just need some secateurs. |
