Does this album evoke emotions out of anyone else?
Yes man. In The Mouth a Desert has some of the most profound emotional delivery of lines (and the abstract meaning that could be applied, unlike most pavement songs which are usually only solely lyrical) eva
I don't really like Pavement outside of this album. That being said this album is genius
Zurich is stained and it's not my fault
>>54344066This picture sums up everything I hate about Pavement. Why on earth are they sitting like that? There are 2 perfectly good benches, yet Malkmus is the only one using them? I mean that guy on the left is just plain retarded, but at least he's trying. What the fuck are the rest of them doing? Sitting on a fountain? Playing hide and seek in the bushes? Grow up.Pavement are illogical.
It did when I was 16 or 17.It kinda just sounds like bland indie rock to me these days.Guided By Voices are superior as far as the emotional weight of 90s lo-fi indie rock goes, I can see myself getting dead drunk and overtly sentimental to their stuff when I'm 40.
>>54344218GBV are nowhere near as emotional as 90's Modest Mouse
>>54344218>It kinda just sounds like bland indie rock to me these days.Ding ding ding.
>>54344066it evokes boredom from me. really lame, simplistic pop rock made to play in urbn outfitters before the store even existed
Here is nothing but feels for me. Especially if I'm drunk.>COME JOIN US IN A PRAYER>WE'LL BE WAITING, WAITING WHERE>EVERYTHING'S ENDING HERE
>Here
>>54344245true that niggalong drive is my jam
>>54344300People like you probably actually exist and to me that's hillarious
>>54344066yes, but not the regular "feels" like some music. Its more of a comfortable nostalgic feel

Crooked Rain does more for me than S&E

official pavement power rankingswowee zowee>brighten the corners(my favorite)>crooked rain>terror twilight>slanted and enchanted
This album gives me some really nostalgic summer feels. Remembering being 17 and listening to this album all summer. Loretta's Scars is my favorite, anyone else?
>>54344778Here isn't sad man. It's nostalgic and makes you feel warm and appreciate those summers that have gone but you know you'll be playing this album in the summers coming so it's all good. You can never be sad once you've let Pavement in your life. They're too fun to be sad.
>>54346528Wowee Zowee > Slanted & Enchanted > Westing (By Musket & Sextant) > Crooked Rain > Brighten the Corners > Terror Twilight
LIES AND BETRAYALSFRUIT COVERED NAILSEEEEEEELECTRICITY AND LUST
>>54346661westing is good but definitely not that good
PAVEMENTARE SHIT!!!
I'M BOGGGGGGED DOWN
>>54346661Westing (By Musket & Sextant) doesn't count. There's nothing more annoying than someone saying Westing is their favourite Pavement 'album.' IT'S NOT A GODDAMN ALBUM!
>>54346556>Loretta's Scars is my favoriteyessss
>>54346661gosh at least you know that wowee zowee is best but the rest of that list is horrendously out of order
>>54346729Compilation, whatever. I would put any of those early EPs in the same spot between Slanted and Crooked.
"Man I could just be listening to The Fall right now"
>>54346761I don't know why Terror Twilight gets so much flack. It's their most 'straight forward' album sure but just because it doesn't have a freak out or two in it or a Malkmus slow jam (e.g. Stop Breathin', Type Slowly etc.) doesn't make it their worst album IMO.
>>54346842No. I discovered Pavement through the lame comparisons critics made with Blur. I'd never heard their music before so was excited to listen to a band that sounded like later period Blur only to find out they sounded nothing like each other at all bar fuzzy guitars. Then the same comparisons got made between The Fall and Pavement and again I was excited to hear a 'new' (I know they're older) Pavement. What I found was a punk/post-punk band more in the style of Joy Division (minus the lyrics) mixed with the Buzzcocks.
>>54347041>What I found was a punk/post-punk band more in the style of Joy Division (minus the lyrics) mixed with the Buzzcockstalk about bad comparisons...
>>54347041You know that last line just exposes how shit your ear is right?
>>54347256My point exactly.
yeah looking at that album cover makes me want to vomit in anger
TRUTH I MADE FOR YOU BECAUSEIT'S JUST AS GOOD
>>54347405AND IF I SPIT IT OUTBEFORE I CHEW THE RING
>>54347041Are you fucking stupid?You really hear Joy Division's aesthetic mixed with The Buzzcocks when you listen to The Fall? Did you literally just read the first wikipedia paragraph and jump to that conclusion since theyre all from the same scene? You either didn't actually listen to the fall, or your ear is awful.
i only like certain songs off this album but the ones i like i really enjoy
