though Zurich is Stained is my fave

it goes a bit downhill from there.

Stupidly weird name. Pretty cool guitars. His voice and the vocals don't work though. Still, nice feedbacky solos.

Pretty great. I love the bass, and the scratchy solos. Better vox too. This could be a good album.

Awesome! He sounds well emo. Like Jeremy Enigk! I like when he sings along to the guitar line.

There's a bit too much going on here at certain points. The badababs don't do it for me. I like the screamed refrain though. They are reminding me of Rites of Spring bizarrely.

This thread isn't as good as lordluciousbanter's original

Erm, bit pointless. Nothing really happened. Just sounded a bit rubbish.

Wow, noisy. Doesn't seem to have any real point. I like noise, but this just seems lacking in passion or something. It's juts 'there'.

It's starting to blend into one. I liked this, but I couldn't tell you how it sounded exactly.

I liked this. Variety. Pretty soulful. I was starting to get a little bored of the formula, so this is a welcome interlude.

yeah, I liked this. Galloping drums, interesting rhythm and fx, good vocals.

Another listen again.

I liked this, but it's a little too nothingy, like ooh how clever and minimal we are or something. I think it suffers by coming after the two awesome songs before it.

Pretty pretty pretty good.

Wtf with the weird song titles. Is it to be indie? Bit boring this song. It's like the other ones, just not as standoutish as the great tracks.

Quiet, nice fadeout. Pretty mournful/hopeful. Ok.

I like it, certainly. I don't think it's that great on first listen though, but apparently time is needed to make it click. There was enough stuff there to make me intrigued enough to go back though. It sounds a lot like Sonic Youth/Neil Young & Crazy Horse/Built To Spill who are all bands I love, but it seemed to lack a bit of the special passion which makes me love those bands so.

A bit too shambolic and disaffected for its own good sometimes.

A 6.5/7 out of 10

Favourite Track: Two States or Summer Babe

In my opinion

it might be because im not old enough to appreciate what that record did for the underground music scene or whatever, but still, it doesn't appeal to me too much.

i think crooked rain is perfect though.
you really should listen to that next.

Maybe.

Is the only Pavement album I don't have. Is that wrong?

I reckon with that kind of push the reunion shows would be a huge success.

I hoped these would become regular things, so I'd love to see more of them
