Spiderland Appreciation Thread

Washing Machine · 05.19.2007, 08:22 AM

Its been one of my favourites for a few months now. But the other week i bought the vinyl. Hearing the album on Vinyl was a real revelation. On Vinyl it takes on a whole new lease of life. Its without a doubt one of the most hyponitising and beautiful albums ive ever heard. I haven't been in love with a record like this for quite sometime. I know theres a lot of love for this record on this board so it would be interesting to se what the rest of you think

It bores me. Codeine are better, that's my contribution to this thread.

ZEROpumpkins · 05.19.2007, 08:27 AM

It's a great album, I really dig it.

jimbrim · 05.19.2007, 08:32 AM

I first heard it 2 years ago (i was only 3 years old when it was released) and to be honest i thought it was quite boring. After listening to it a few more times, it grew to be one of my favourite records.
You've made wanna buy it vinyl now!

Torn Curtain · 05.19.2007, 08:39 AM

I only listened to it twice. At the first listen I didn't get it, at the second one I liked it more. Maybe I should listen to it again.

Say that backwards, sonny. I know this joke is too much for you, but that's because i'm better than you are.

Spiderland has a total of one good track on it, the name of which I've forgotten but i think its the first one.

ZEROpumpkins · 05.19.2007, 09:01 AM

Wow there's not much love here...

Washing Machine · 05.19.2007, 09:09 AM

Its a must if you buy the album to get it on Vinyl. It has a completely different feel.

Washer is my favourite track so heart-warming, and it takes a lot to warm my heart.

The Usher · 05.19.2007, 09:13 AM

Yeah, I think it's a totally amazing album, still totally freaks me out every time I listen to it, which must be VERY loud. Good Morning, Captain rules!

Washing Machine · 05.19.2007, 09:16 AM

Yeah it has to be listened to loud, to be appreciated

05.19.2007, 09:18 AM

Done many times. It bores me.

Can that be said about their other records, or is just spiderland that bores you?

Washing Machine · 05.19.2007, 09:33 AM

I'm not into Slint's first record i just think spiderland is amazing.

demonrail666 · 05.19.2007, 10:43 AM

Spiderland is definitely one of those albums that forged a new direction. I've just never been a big fan of that direction, I suppose.

SonicSam · 05.19.2007, 11:02 AM

Oh man, so many haters! Spiderland is more or less the best album ever made. Good morning captain is definately the best song ever written. I need to get it on vinyl! Also the first LP's pretty good and the EP is amazing!

Cardinal Rob · 05.19.2007, 01:40 PM

Spiderland is a great vinyl of mine, "Good Morning, Captain" is human emotion at its best (until mewithoutYou came into existence anyway) and "Nosferatu Man" is incredible.

AllHandsOnTheBigOne · 05.19.2007, 01:41 PM

Haha. Slint takes a dump on Codeine. Rodan takes a dump on Codeine. Get the fuck out of here with this Codeine shit.
