>he thinks BtC is better than CR,CR and Wowee Zowee

kek

Yes, not sure if better than wowee zowee, but is at least number 2

>not slanted and enchanted

Stay plen

Does anyone else agree that pavement is a prime example of a band that didn't age well over time? their sound just seems horrendously bland in this day and age

>>72704741

toss up between this and wowee zowee

brighten the corners for lyrics, wowee zowee for sound

>>72705540
The Nicene Creedence version of BtC is really good, it's got early/live versions of a lot of wowee zowee stuff that are really interesting

>>72704741
Wowee zowee best by miles

>>72705192
That's literally the plebbiest choice though

WZ > BTC > CRCR > TT > S&E

so many plebs ITT

if you don't think brighten the corners is the best then you need to kill yourself

>>72704741
this is objectively correct and it's weird to me how obvious that is, considering it's not a popular opinion

>>72705238
the fall sounds more modern by comparison. i guess because they owed their entire career to them anyway.

but pavement was almost too indie for indie

>you will never be in south London, 1999, seeing out the millennium with pavement's last ever (as a band) live show

literally why live

Wowee Zowee > S&E > CR,CR > BTC > Terror Twilight

BTC is just barely better than Terror Twilght

>>72706451
Typical hivemind opinion

>>72706763
I've been listening to Pavement longer than you.

If you're saying you go out of your way to have a contrarian opinion, I don't respect you anyway.

CRCR > WZ >S&E > BtC > TT

>>72706451

switch Crooked Rain and Brighten the Corners and I agree with you

Terror Twilight is so overlooked. People never talk about it in depth. They just talk about how it's the worst Pavement album.

Spit on a Stranger
Folk Jam
You Are A Light
Cream of Gold
Billie
Speak See Remember
The Hexx
Carrot Rope

All good tracks.

>>72706947
People can't handle the Radiohead production on it.

>>72706448
Worst song on Slanted IMO, all the others are amazing.

>>72705991
S&E last, what? I don't understand how someone can think this.

>>72706947
Yeah i love all those songs, but i think people give it shit because it's pretty much a Stephen Malkmus solo project, rather than a true Pavement album.

>>72705238
no i dont feel this way at all. i feel like some newer stuff people worship already feels dated like MBDTF.

>>72706366
people think this is the best because thats what is fed to them. dont get me wrong S&E is amazing, but it doesnt have to be your favorite just because its their lofi debut

>>72707891
some kannberg songs are honestly pavement's best

Was just listening to Carrot Rope. It's a great song, same with Major Leagues. I was also wondering why the album gets hate

>>72711250
Malkmus has a weird talent for lyrics and guitar playing. It's unusual, without being too "off the rails."

I guess that's how I would best describe Pavement's music, and why people like it.

>>72706947
I like it more than BTC. It's kind of moody, dark, and weird.

>>72711797
I think most Pavement fans like it, just not as much. I think the band doesn't like it because Malkmus was going full fuhrer on creative control, and they were on the verge of breakup. Malkmus calls it overproduced; I wouldn't say it's overproduced, but it's polished af, very antithetical to the pavement vibe.

it's slanted and enchanted followed by wowee zowee
