Rank Pavement Albums.

Inlander:
The problem with that idea is that the Silver Jews were never and never will be a Pavement side-project.

I like Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain a bejigger-load, but I don't like ranking albums all that much.

Merkava:
Why do people not like Terror or Brighten? Geez, people, they were good albums. Who cares if they weren't trying so hard to be fun and playful? We had enough of that. It would have gotten boring if they didn't mellow out a bit.

pat101:
Crooked Rain
Slanted Enchanted
Wowee Zowee
Terror Twlight
Brighten the Corners

I couldn't possibly post on this forum with this name and not respond to this topic:

1. Wowee Zowee: The album that defines the term "grower"; I didn't like it at first, but as I ventured further into the tracks, sifting through everything, I began to love it. All encompasing, kind of unfocused, but still my favorite. "We Dance" gets the best opening song on a Pavement album award.

2. Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain: The anti-sophomore slump. Poppy, yes, but who said there was anything wrong with that? Slanted sets 'em up, Crooked Rain knocks 'em down. Certainly the album to stear your friends toward when they say they want to get into Pavement.

3. Slanted and Enchanted: The monolith of 1990's indie rock. The liner notes to the "Luxe and Reduxe" version put it best: "the album that launched a thousand Weezers" (or something to that effect).

Tie for 4th: Brighten the Corners and Terror Twilight
I have to admit, my extreme devotion to the first three records has pretty much limited my exposure to the final two. "Shady Lane" is a nice little song, probably one of their best. I like to describe Terror Twilight in terms of a roadsign I see every so often: "Uneven Pavement".

Spartan Pho3nix:
American Water is an amazing album. AMAZING. It's a shame Berman has never been able to repeat it. No other silver jews material comes close - it's all boring in comparison. American water, american water american water.

Silver Jews = American Water.
