My French isn't up to snuff, so I am not going to try to translate it. I am sure there is someone on here that can do a better job translating:
Décidément, les Pixies semblent déterminés à renaître de leurs cendres. Il y avait déjà leur tournée automnale. En plus, Frank Black échappe sur nos bureaux un programme double inattendu: deux disques montrant les Pixies habillés autrement. D'abord, un démo enregistré avec les 1000 $ donnés par son père en 1987 avant le gros buzz, comme si on voyait les Pixies déshabillés. Soucieux de ne pas en donner seulement aux fans-collectionneurs, le chanteur propose un second disque, où les classiques du groupe apparaissent vêtus de trompette, de guitare acoustique et de bidouillages électro, surplombés par la voix miaulante de Black. Where Is My Mind n'aura jamais semblé aussi céleste et réverbérée (trop?), et Velouria, si dilatée. Pas aussi prenant que les versions originales, par contre.

Ouah, they should learn to speak french over there.
Looks like it was translated from english to french by a computer.

My thought exactly. I don't know if they're real expressions from Quebec or if an illiterate journalist wrote that.

Quebec French is quite different than the variety of French encountered oversees. I would be wholly unsurprised to find it was written by someone bilingual or fluent in French.

Oh... I guess we suck at irony... I knew that, Dean, I spent 6 months in Quebec, and their language is a source of numerous jokes among us French. But this review does look weird. Feminine words with a masculine article, and some strange expressions. Crazy Canadians.
