Washer is the best song
Weird way to spell Nosferatu Man
>>71632201
he clearly meant Good Morning, Captain
>>71632173
I'm really torn.
At first Washer was my favorite, then Good Morning, Captain became my clear favorite for a very long time, but recently when I'm listening to Washer, I get speechless every time, over just how fucking good it is.
Every track is a 10, but Washer and Good Morning, Captain are up there in the greatest songs ever written and performed.
>>71632173
Dude thats not how you spell Good Morning, Captain
breadcrumb trail

The only true patrician ITT other than me
You spelled for dinner wrong

Trips of fibs
Don Aman or Breadcrumb Trails for me, Washer is my least favorite
>>71634405
how come?
>>71634427
Not sure. The riff on Washer is great but I also really like the lyrics in Breadcrumb Trails and Don Aman. Washer is still a 10/10 no doubts though. Also my least favorite is For Dinner, forgot that one.
>>71632173
Good Morning, Captain.

Lyrics are a lame basis on which to judge on my opinion, especially with Slint who wrote all of their songs to be instrumental and added vocals at the last minute.
>>71634691
There's a cutoff time for which lyrics deserve to be evaluated with a song? I've written songs in less than an hour, before.
>>71635027
I just don't think they matter. They're so secondary to the music, it is almost absurd to me that someone would primarily judge music on this.

>Fill your pockets with the dust of the memories
>Raising from the shoes on my feet
Don't know why it hits so hard.

The lyrics make the album an album about isolation. It greatly adds to the experience. When I first heard the album I was focused on the guitars, the interplay between the musicians. After "I MISS YOU" I gave the lyrics a good focus, and I can say with 100% certainty they're not secondary. They're in tune with the music.
>>71632173
Yup. Followed by Carol.

Spiderland is probably my favourite mu-core album.
I recommend watching "Breadcrumb Trail", a documentary on making of Spiderland to any and all fans of it.

For Dinner is 7/10 for me, but yea, everything else is classic tier
>>71635074
One of my buddies that I play music with is always focused on vocal elements. He'll notice shit about a song that I would never bother to notice and vice versa. Personally, I always listen to an instrumentally primarily, and then hear the lyrics after many listen throughs. I think most people are the opposite though, it seems. For me, I can like a band even if I'm not that in to the vocalist. Most people can't say the same
>>71635566
not that anon, but
I usually listen to the vocals as just an another instrument and it's a pretty important one.
I don't pay much attention to the lyrics, but when i can't find a way for an album to click for me i focus on them. It makes me pay a lot more attention to the music i'm listening to.
>>71632173
yup
>>71635309
Check out Low from this list.
>>71636085
Shit I meant Low - I Could Live In Hope which isn't on there.
>>71636085
>>71636099
I know that already, it's even on my top50 albums chart. Great album, it's pretty simple and in-your-face but carries massive feels of hopelessness and despair.
Thanks anyway.
