Can someone explain the appeal of Pavement, specifically this? Stephen Malkmus is as obnoxious as Thurston Moore, except, instead of all the stuff that's good about Sonic Youth, you get lots of laid back garage-y indie rock, which is nice but all starts sounding the same after a while. I liked Crooked Rain but found it difficult to get enthused about Slanted & Enchanted, after a while it was like "well if you don't care then neither do I".
