been listening to this again a lot lately. there's just something about it. i still think wowee is thier crowning achievement... though slanted deserves mention for being one of the only records to ever blow my mind when i first heard it 6 years ago... actually, i pretty much enjoy everything pavement's ever done. KINGS OF GOOD MELODY! PERFECT SOUND FOREVER!
this album rules.
gary young's drumming is really really really awesome -- in an awful way, but somehow.. I dunno... I don't think any other kind of drumming would work for this stuff really. There's this random drum roll thing in "Forklift" that always makes me laugh.
I like this album because it really sounds like they didn't know what the hell they were doing or how to play their instruments properly at all but they had some good song ideas and melodies and just went for it. And it worked...
