(and another vote for Pacific Trim for me as the most solid Pavement release - its too short for there to be any crap filler and all three songs are grate)

I guess I just have a hard time telling when Pavement was using their whole ass - after watching Slow Century their entire career seems pretty half-assed to me (I don't mean this as a slight, half-assedness can have its own kind of peculiar, devil-may-care appeal).

There's an extra track on the 7" version. Dunno if you'd consider it filler or not (but it is an extra song on a 7").

agreed with whoever noted that BTC holds up over time. a beautiful record.

Wowee Zowee!
(Brighten the Corners still sounds great. I like most of Terror Twilight..)

Crooked is my second favourite, but I don't like some of the tracks.

my favorite Pavement record changes constantly, looking back I think Wowee Zowee has been my favorite most frequently...

So it's the best. Though I admit thinking so requires really acknowleging and lovin the brilliance Pavement brought to their last three albums. If you think crcr can even compare, clearly you have no fondness for their spacey adventurous metal-pop tendancies.

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.

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.
