Pavement - Slanted & Enchanted (Top 500 Countdown Update)

I'm disappointed to know that Pavement followed up this album with Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain. I personally think they went the wrong way with that album, but that's just me. This is a good album. It's like The Feelies bump into the Pixies and fall into a Sonic Youth blender. Now that is an odd combination of sounds to say the least, but they make it work with only a few throw away songs. The problem is the songs are a bit naked at times and there is definitely room for growth.
