But perhaps you have not listened to the guitars. There are guitars in that album, I find. If I fuckin sang out Platform Blues' Dooo-de-doo-de-doo-de-de-WHHAMM WHHUMP WHAMM in a 'lift' I would, assuming that term refers to intoxication, never let myself see a sober day again. Fuckin best riff ever.
Though I assume you have listened to them. And that's cool too.

For the person above who said that all Pavement albums are tuneless - no way. S+E has tunes coming out of its ears. And "Range Life" off CRCR is one of the monster tunes of all time.

unless you're saying that your lying ears can at least discern the excellence of "Zurich is Stained" and "Here"

Wowee Zowee is very good but it's more a jumble of songs rather than a consistent album. Like Troutmask etc, it's made for the random play button.

Slanted & Enchanted is just a great summer album, basically. but in a totally different way from Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain, which is also a great summer album. I dunno. whatever.

I wouldn't rule that out at all! But no, I love "Western Homes," especially as the ending for that record. I like its weird bounce and the way Spiral's voice trails off like a ghost at the end. "This is what I always wanted / a new home / and a place to breathe" - the song just has a great sentiment to end the album on, and where else are you going to put it? It's kind of an epilogue after the climax of "Half A Canyon."
I just totally love all five of those Pavement albums, and it actually kinda bugs me to see any of them put down.
Dog Latin, maybe you ought to spend some time with live versions of the S&E songs.

With Pavement though it's always the first album you hear that you secretly like the best, even if (as in my case) it's Brighten The Corners which I have a very soft spot for, even if I do say that CRCR is the best.
