Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 199/500!
From PavementÂ’s earliest days, theyÂ’ve been writing and recording great, picturesque, spooky, wacked-out, tear-jerking soul music that finesses American experience like nothing else on record, in print, on film, or in art galleries.
Slanted and Enchanted is a deliriously beautiful debut album originally released in 1992.
"Pavement were the quintessential American independent rock band, and this is the quintessential indie-rock album. The playing is loose-limbed, the production laid-back and primitive, the lyrics quirky and playful, the melodies sweet and seductive. But the sound is as intense as the white noise of the Velvet Underground. Slanted and Enchanted is one of the most influential rock albums of the 1990s; its fuzzy recording style can be heard in the music of Nirvana, Liz Phair, Beck, the Strokes and the White Stripes." - www.rollingstone.com
"Malkmus and Kannberg cut this tender pop tune [Summer Babe (Winter Version)]about a summer crush in the garage studio of their hippie drummer, Gary Young. 'We didn’t know how to record,' Malkmus confessed. 'We used reverb on the drums — the cheapest, worst reverb ever.' Malkmus said he was trying to sound like Lou Reed, singing about 'sad boy stuff.'" - Rolling Stone
