WHERE ARE THE BLOODY HOOKS

these guys think they're too smart-too cool for school. they don't care about try harder and get focused at playing the instruments

>>127478120
that sucks. what do people get from it then? it's not like the messy playing is anything special

bump

they’re too cool and disinterested to have hooks maaaan

>>127478028 (OP)
I like Here

>>127481966
This. Set yourself free OP

At the very least In the Mouth a Desert and the run from Zurich is Stained through Here are almost as good as Summer Babe. It's still the best Pavement album.

fakers

>>127478028 (OP)
Pavement pussified indie along with yo la tengo

>>127485994
Indie/alternative was always rock for pussies. The Velvet Underground was just The Rolling Stones for sissies. This is not a bad thing.

>>127485305
loretta's scars also is really good and catchy but malkmus was too cool to mix his vocals properly so it never gets the love it deserved

>>127486256
Yeah. Loretta's Scars is the best part of the run I was talking about

they're not ABBA or Led Zeppelin, they've never heard of hooks.
they're not disciplined enough to make a meh song good, then make that good song great, then push that great song to become amazing.

sadly they influenced many modern artists, who are just as lazy and think, "It's all done" as soon as they sketch out the bare bones of a song
what a grim legacy lol

>>127486311
See? This guy agrees independently with me about which songs are the best on the album so this is proof that there are clear standout songs other than Summer Babe.

>>127486130
Not all of them

bro, you're going to be !SHOCKED! when you go beyond mere instrument-owners and discover actual musicians

>>127486353
The whole album is just great. Its a great fun vibe and once you get used to all the songs they are catchy and melodic in their own way. Malkmus has a funny voice but I find it comforting

>>127486432
it's over for you, unc

The average Pavement fan is like 50 years old

Did they though? Where do people get this info fro.

>>127478028 (OP)
Retard never made it to the GOAT aka Wowee Zowee.

Can't believe I see so many dumbasses shitting on Pavement. Goddamn. They're an awesome guitar band for sure.

Wowee Zowee, Brighten The Corners, Slanted & Enchanted, Crooked Rain, Terror Twilight.

There you go there's the best to worst list.

Silver Jews albums are interesting as well, especially Starlite Walker since it's right before Woweee Zoweee and some of the effects synths and guitar tones are shared.

Wowee Zowee era live shows are incredible to, especially around 94' to '95 to hear early Woweee stuff. Fun to collect.

Don't like em? Then I don't like you so fuck you.

>muh hooks
are you twelve? the songs are great and fun, simple as

>>127485305
An often overlooked fact is that it's partly their best album cos of Gary Young. They shouldve tried harder to keep him in the band. Excellent drummer and chaotic onstage element.

gary's got a distinct and interesting style and his playing really stands out on slanted.

>Wowee Zowee era live shows are incredible to, especially around 94' to '95
Did malkmus do the harmonics for Grounded?

>>127490398
I've seen lots of people just preferring slanted and then shitting on everything they've done

>>127490619
i always remember his drumming on summer babe, the hi hat work on that is tricky and he does it so casually on the album. bob never did it live

>>127490544
the coolest jew

>>127478028 (OP)
Unrest was the superior 90s slacker rock band

Literally me

This album is criminally overlooked

>>127497789
I used to feel that way for awhile.. all their albums are huge growers. Tons of great guitar work and creative experimentation that doesn't get too "pretentious" or contrived.

>>127497709
Were they really “slacker” though? Hard Gen-X coded for sure (the Winona Ryder song?)… but Mark Robinson was METICULOUS when it came to the aural/visual quality of his Teenbeat Records stuff… the master of PERFECT TEETH he gave to the 4AD is one of the most fucking pristine things you’ll ever hear.

Hardly Guided By Voices or SEBADOH III

>>127502982
is this pristine?
