"price Yeah!"
I'm probably not the best judge of pavement's work though... "Jackals, False Grails: The Lonesome Era" is my favorite song afterall. perfect chord sequences.. undiluted slang truth-ah. |

This is the only Pavement album that I can sit down and listen to. It's a compilation, I know, but after buying ''Slanted and Enchanted'' this vindicated all my expectations.

It's the only Pavement album I never listen to, really. I like "Box Elder" and there's a version of "Summer Babe," but the bulk of it IS pretty unlistenable.

i don't hear anything even remotely unlistenable about it. the production isn't very good, sure, but it's only slightly noisier than slanted.
and it's 10000x more interesting than terror twilight... |

hello Rob
terror twilight has good songs and is only remotely and sarcastically related to country music. It's not even half as bad as what Frank Black did in his early 2000 LPs. That was really bad, although i'm huge fan of Pixies and early Frank Black solo LPs (the 5 first LPs were rockin' in their right) Now the Jicks and solo Malkmus LPs do suck, yes, but that's a different band we're talking about. |

Look SLANTED is one of my favorite albums of all time, but I still think a majority of the songs on WESTING suck and that a majority of the songs on TERROR TWILIGHT are quite good. I'm way over the old "if it's polished then it's not cool" thing.

I like the germs of ideas, of musical ideas, and westing is chock full of them, like Wire's PINK FLAG
terror twilight sounds like a few overproduced ideas over and over again, which is boring to my ear.

true, Westing has so many ideas that are mixed in, within even one little musical piece...it's challenging, not unlike Beefheart in a way. it somehow stays together enough and is awesome. i do like Terror too. it just was a recording where it seemed like Malkmus was a tad uninspired at Pavement's end there. it was a very safe, nicey, warm sounding, record. But still solid.

I agree with Rob.
Well, Terror Twilight was not completly bad, I like few songs (Speak, see, remember, The Hexx...), but it sounds very mediocre compared to the others. It sounds like a preface to Malkmus' solo albums. |

I think the first Malk solo album is really good. I'd probably say better than TERROR TWILIGHT. His 2nd and 3rd solo albums I never got into. Found them pretty boring. The new one has some good stuff, though. "Cold Son" for instance, and a few others have some interesting stuff going on.
