Albums are hard for me because basically the Watery, Domestic EP plus S+E is where it's at. But if I had to go by LP's (and Westing) alone, it would probably look like this:
1. Wowee Zowee
2. Slanted & Enchanted
3. Westing!!
4. Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
5. Brighten the Corners
6. Terror Twilight
But that doesn't seem right either. Crooked Rain had quite a life changing effect on me, but it's hard to appreciate it if I'm not fully immersed in it at the time, and that's a record I haven't listened to in ages.
Brighten the Corners obviously has some of my top songs, but it has some weaker moments.
Wowee Zowee has plenty of highlights but mostly it's just a great album, a record for start to finish listening. Too weird to be taken in bursts.
Well, I'm glad liking Pavement hasn't become completely a completely forgotten pastime.
