They've had the nerve to call this this quintessential alt/indie rock album?
I just listened to this for the first time and It did not appeal to me, I will continue to listen to it but I'm not impressed this shit is fucking dreadful.
What the fuck is this?, is this what these alt teens praise? I am dumbfounded at this shit, Slanted and Enchanted is a bag of SHIT.
Please open my eyes and tell me what I should be listening for, is their some kind of underlying theme?, I don't get this shit

I agree.
I agree as well. This record really sounds outdated today.
Good songwriting
Cool guitar sounds
The only song that caught my attention was Conduit for Sale, the songwriting there is good, other than that, I cant think of any others
Here is my favourite track
Have you listened to Silver Jews? Another one of Malkmus' bands
I haven't heard of them before user, I'll listen to one of their albums today. Do you have any recs?
I've only heard American Water but I really like its sound - youtube.com
Thanks, I'll give it a listen. I'll make a thread about it some time too, when you see it, Just know that i was thinking of you whilst making it user
I will bb
I tried listening to it as well, nothing in it appealed to me
Maybe try Brighten the Corners, I like it more.
here stole the guitar riff from a song on squeeze
they just slowed it down
I didn't get into pavement until terror twilight, I believe it is their most acessible. Of course you could like any song if you just accepted it could be good, but Sup Forums thinks opinion holds any real power of art.
the whole album sounds like someone crunching paper together
Pavement is the most boring music of all time. It's amazingly bad.
Took me like 10 listens to get it
Slanted & Enchanted is their worst album desu
>Unanimous critical acclaim, p4k 10, other ridiculous claims.
Looks like lots of internet fags believe its their best
>people on the internet think its their best so it must be
> Give it a rest user
End yourself faggot
Summer Babe, Trigger Cut, and Here are GOAT-level. I mostly agree with your assessment of the rest of the album. Crooked Rain is a lot better.
S&E is a great noise rock album. It's ok it you didn't like it in the first listen.
Listen to Crooked Rain. It's less noisy. If you like it check out WZ or Brighten the Corner. If you don't like both, well, maybe Pavement isnt for you.
The point is: S&E is the last Pavement album you should listen if you want to get into them properly. It's still noise pop but their most abrassive.
It's pretty boring and falls squarely into that whole noise rock/pop trend
Noise rock bands tend to love to cover up their shitty songwriting skills and lacks of original ideas with guitar noise because indie kids will eat it up because noise is so le arty
Thanks for the advice user
Stephen Malkmus is a great songwriter you nignog
Try Crooked Rain or Wowee Zowee.
I felt the same the first time too OP. Crooked Rain has stronger songwriting so maybe listening to that will help you appreciate their style
>noise rock
>took 10 listens
>boring
wew lads, it appears I'm being memed.
Bunch of damn plebs in this bitch
Agreed. I was listening to two states. It just goes like,"duh-duh, duh-duh, de-de, duh-duh, duh-duh, de-de!" What horrible trash. Pavement sucks a load of dicks.
Wow I didn't realize Pavement were such a pleb filter
this album is barely noisy at all though?

> most popular album on this board desu
just for context, what are your top five favorite bands?
Pavement is one of my favorite bands. And S&E is my favorite Pavement album. But all their other albums are less noisy and energetic. You might like them more.
fuck off Mark
radiohead, tame impala, vampire weekend, animal collective, rhcp
and you think you can talk shit about Pavement?
...
...
...
This guy could be anybody
>talking shit about a band that is far better than anything you like
lmao
This Fucking kid
I thought more or less the same thing when I heard it, OP.
pleb
you must be the Plebiest of the Plebs
>tfw this album is better than S&E
It's funny for a long time I thought this album was extremely overrated, and then after a few more listens suddenly I was singing along to every song. So I get some of the gripes but I still think this is some of the catchiest, introspective Indie Rock ever.
>another one of Malkmus' bands
Why do I even come on this board anymore..
lol yeah. poor David Berman. Made some amazing albums but Malkmus gets credit for it.
Check out crooked rain
They've had the nerve to call this this quintessential jangle pop/alt rock album?
I just listened to this for the first time and It did not appeal to me, I will continue to listen to it but I'm not impressed this shit is fucking dreadful.
What the fuck is this?, is this what these alt teens praise? I am dumbfounded at this shit, Automatic for the People is a bag of SHIT.
Please open my eyes and tell me what I should be listening for, is their some kind of underlying theme?, I don't get this shit
holy shit dude
it's really not
they weren't jangle pop anymore at that period
that's the joke
