Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
 

I've never owned this album but I just found it at GoodWill for 2 bucks. I'm enjoying it. I've never been much of a Malkmus fan.

malkmus alone is boring pseudo country clap trap

alkmus and spiral stairs and the other fellas of pavement on crooked rain? BIG WIN!!!!!

I'd like to invite you to taste of my chalice
it's a special one
it's made of gold....

this is actually one of my least favorite pavement albums. its very mainstream sounding, and ive always like my pavement lo fi (slanted and enchanted) and sorta stoned (wowee zowee) out likes.

Slanted and Enchanted I listened to like 3 times and never put on again. It just wasn't something I thought was that great. I'm enjoying this much more, though.

korea korea KOREA

No no no. It's: a career. Careera. Coreera. KOREA.

Isn't it "career"? :confused:

Love this album.

Gold Soundz was an instant favorite.

i know, i just couldn't be bothered remembering the many different words he sings with those syllables

i love it, pop rock awesomeness.

Before getting this record i was fed hype that this is their best, most mature album where Pavement really stepped into their own light.

After hearing it i was kinda let down.It's got some goods on it "silence kit", "range life", "cut your hair" and "unfair" but Slanted and Enchanted will always remain my favorite.

Yeah, i thought it was too.:confused:

Crooked Rain's great. Every song is different and awesome. Pretty much perfect songwriting; "Gold Soundz" is one of the best songs ever written. The last minutes of "Stop Breathing" are perfect too.

So many great moments on this album...

I need to sleep...
I NEED TO SLEEP
WHY WON'T YOU LET ME

Of course, my favorite song (and probably the best Pavement song) is "Neward Wilder".

Definitely essential.

As an album, it's probably their best one in my mind. Wowee Zowee is right up there neck-and-neck with it. I also like Slanted & Enchanted and Brighten the Corners a good bit. I like the L.A. Desert Origins reissue of it lots.

I love Westing, Slanted, this, and Wowee. The other two bore me.

i hate pavement. it's true.

starlings in the slipstream fucking rules all

and it is JUST ROCK people! melodies do not make it POP! shit!
