<p><i>The consensus sweats <a href="http://turntablelab.com/products/pixies-doolittle-vinyl-lp" target="_blank"><i>Doolittle</i></a> and <a href="http://turntablelab.com/products/pixies-bossanova-vinyl-lp" target="_blank"><i>Bossanova</i></a>, but for my money, 1991's <i>Trompe Le Monde</i> ranks near the top of the <a href="http://turntablelab.com/search?q=pixies" target="_blank"><strong>Pixies</strong></a> saga.</i> Arguably their most energetic album from beginning to end, <i>Trompe</i> features absolute head smashers like the anthemic "U-Mass," the "americanized" <a href="http://turntablelab.com/search?q=jesus+and+mary+chain" target="_blank"><strong>Jesus And Mary Chain</strong></a> cover "Head On." the Frank Black-madness "Planet of Sound," and the wicked opening title track (love the metal-esque guitar play). These heavyweights get cut with the usual Pixies' diversion like the halcyon "Bird Dream," and the psycho-spoken word piece "Subbacultcha".... you know, when you grope for Luna.
