Slanted And Enchanted

In de jaren 90 was een opname vanuit een schuurtje toch niet heel vernieuwend meer? Wat doet deze troep in de lijst? Als het wat lui gezongen is, kan het nog. Dsn is het vooral niet zo interessant. Maar soms moet er ineens wat geschreeuwd worden. Hopen dat we morgen weer iets fatsoenlijks voorgeschoteld krijgen.

Didn't enjoy it.

Whoever produced this should be charged for crimes against humanity. Letting these clowns make music is robbing the world of ditch diggers. Jeez this horrible

Ehh

only made it a few songs in but not for me.

Meh, might have been good in '92, but does not seem to have aged well🤷‍♂️

Yuck

I can't think of a way this album could be more annoying. Well, unless they made a punk rock version. 1/5

Not my thing, guitar played with a boxing glove on the right hand. Mediocre lyrics forced out in punkish rage.

Not a fan of this.

The lead singer seems to be too tired to do his job. The music sounds like quintessential 90s alt rock. Uninspired, under-produced. Potential is there for the music, but the vocals... Nope.

A little harsh sounding but more tolerable than some

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Really didn’t enjoy.

Boring and naff. Norfring. Boffing. Barff. I'd rather 127 hours myself than listen again.

So, not sure how this made the list. Really hard to pay attention to this one.

NÃO.

I felt like I was being punked. I can appreciate this was the start to Indie Rock but nothing was memorable and I just don’t like this album.

This was not for me.

One of the band must have wrote the wiki review.... inspirational....yes...to never listen to another Pavement album. Garbage !

Shit and Excrement by Pavement

crisp packets, chicken bones and dogshit

Unbearably dull

“Sounds like they bang spatulas on things”. Yup. A lot of interesting sounds that I’ve definitely heard in later songs but good god I couldn’t finish this album soon enough.

Didn't give it a full listen. Skipped a lot of tracks as the guys voice annoyed me. Not for me.

Meh. Longest 39 minutes.

Singer is terrible, nothing exciting.

Yet another in the wide gamut of unremarkable albums served to me here.

Confused

Some of the guitar riffs were awesome. I liked the beat/tempo of most of the songs. The vocals and lyrics weren't noteworthy in any way.

wow, i just got a flashback to how dreary these were the first time around 😂

I'm glad it was only 39 minutes of junk

Too discordant for me

The whole album sounds like it was recorded with an Elmo microphone.

Made in 1992 and sounds like 1992 - the kind of music someone who wishes they were in a band would like. Good drummer. Alternative indie cool boy music .... I am sure the smart lyrics would make a guy smile. But you missed your window with me and there is nothing that speaks to me... I was probably into Cake. But this feels garage noisy distortion. No joy or melody for me.... Music for a Sydney SoCal 90's Kegger?

Life's too short. A weird hybrid of Jesus and the Mary Chain and The Cure. Seriously, out of all of the gazzilions of pop records released since the 1940's, I needed to listen to this before I cark it?

Woeful, just woeful. Apparently a couple of well known critics thought they were the best band of the 1990s. WTF??? I had to skip through most of these tracks, they were so bad.

Not for me

Not very good at all very emo and bad. Also can’t even hear any lyrics over the instrumental. Not as bad as shitty nehna cherry or whatever her dumb shit name is

Urgh. This was painful. The music was poor to average and the singing was awful. Not a fan. And initially I had high hopes...

Melvins, Car Seat Headrest, Yo La Tengo, The Shins are just some of the slacker-rock/stoner-rock bands that deserve a spot on the list over this shitty band, with their allergic to melody singer. Instead Pavement gets TWO FUCKING albums? Another lazy entry from the editors.

This shit was straight ass and if I could give it less than one I would I got some feelings toward pavement. Those feelings are their shit is ass

Too 90s for me.

It’s ass

Summer Babe - Winter Version- 2/10 Trigger Cut/Wounded-Kite At :17- 1/10 No Life Singed Her- 1/10 In The Mouth A Desert- 2/10 Conduit For Sale!- 1/10 Zurich Is Stained- 6/10 Chesley's Little Wrists- 3/10 Loretta's Scars- 2/10 Here- 4/10 Two States- 1/10 Perfume-V- 1/10 Fame Throwa- 1/10 Jackals, False Grails: The Lonesome Era- 2/10 Our Singer- 1/10

Not my thing at all

not our fave, here wasn’t terrible…

Nope. Not for me. This is neither one thing or the other (and not in a good way). It tries to ROCK but fails on account of being too wet and winey. It's too distorted and fuzzy to be a pleasant indie listen. It doesn't seem innovative or creative. I also hate the vocal. I genuinely can't see the point of this or any circumstance where someone would want to listen to this over a much better alternative. It annoyed me. Rating: 1.5/5 Playlist track: Here Date listened: 18/08/22

in theory, this is a lot of what i like. i.. just don't like it. any of it. gonna have to disagree with sh; this is not a "perfect record"

Question: What do you get when the singer for the Violent Femmes tries to sound like Beck but instead ends up doing a piss-poor job of sounding like Lou Reed instead? Answer: This crap.

Boring droning drivel. Are bad vibrations, going through the air because of rubbish music, the reason for all the shitty things that happen in the world? E.g. every time this album gets played someone gets closer to inventing an even more evil pesticide or invents another stupid product that we don't need. Someone should correlate world events to when albums get released :-(

Shite

Not a fan

Well ... the book says this album sounds "raw". Actually, the sound quality may work as a demo, but not for a finished product. At all. The same is true for the singing, production and song selection. How this made the list is beyond me. 1/5

Ech, no. Not feeling it. Sorry. Can't. There are three listenable tracks on the album, but that doesn't overcome how **unpleasant** it was to listen to the rest. It's okay, I've listened to 125 albums so far and I'd rather listen to at least 124 of them before this one again. It's clearly in the bottom quintile. I accept that there are good reasons this album is here, and know that there are loving fans of it, but they're not my reasons and I am not one of those fans. Now if I could just get a hold of Ferrante & Teicher's Keyboard Kapers...

I literally tried to block this album from my mind it was terrible the singing was awful and the music was just so bland there were no redeeming qualities

Man. I do not ever get the appeal of this. When you sing like Lou Reed you're on borrowed time in my ears. Slacker rock? Is that how to define this? I don't know...at the risk (that I don't care about) of maybe sounding like I'm gatekeeping, at times it sounds like this band isn't even trying. Hence... slacker? I'm not asking for complexity, and in fact some of these songs do have that. But I do have some sort of baseline of composition and this is a goddamn mess. The first song is just flat out dreadful and although it gets a little less-bad, that's the best I can give. 2/10 1 star. I'll never listen to this again.

No me lo tomen a mal, pero no hubiera pasado nada si hubiera seguido sin saber de su existencia. Podría decir que no lo escuché y no ratearlo, pero sí lo escuché.

I find Pavement to be very grating. The production feels shot in places, The instrumentation is much louder than the Vocals, and I guess i struggle to hear his voice? not that I really want to any tbh. But I dislike it.

Not my cup of tea that

Rather hit my head against the pavement

Not for me.

not to my taste really

Terrible stuff... woeful vocalist, bland songs, and production which sounds it was recorded on a tape recorder.

Té lo-fi voor mijn smaak. En die zeurderige zang werd me al na 2 nummers teveel.

Ten seconds in … gee what decade did this come from? I’m trying I’m trying I’m trying not to just skip tracks This is really where a ten star system is needed. They aren’t as bad as other 1 stars but I feel worse than 2 stars. But I’m trending down on this one.

Ich verstehe ja vieles nicht, wieso beispielsweise der erste Song dieses Albums in die Rolling Stone Liste der 500 besten Songs aufgenommen wurde. Uninspiriertes, erbärmliches, stellenweise unerträgliches, generisches Garagengeschraddel, das man mit Anfang 20 hinter sich gelassen haben sollte. Ab 'Here' (anderer Produktionsort, auch nicht besser) nur noch durchgeskipt.

Wtf

Not enjoyable.

I shower once a month
