Pavement's aesthetic doesn't really appeal to me, so it's to their credit that I like their music as much as I do. This doesn't quite have the flow of Crooked Rain Crooked Rain or the endless relistenability but it seems like a pretty great album.
Like Ghostface's early stuff I was so enraptured by the details I didn't realize there was a story to follow til a good deal through. It didn't lose any of its sense of walking through a dream when I started paying attention to the narrative either. I'm not sure how I feel about its politics but I'm not exactly sure where it stand either. In any case a trip everyone should have the pleasure of taking.
