My personal favourite Pavement album - probably (definitely) their least focused, but also home to a great many their best songs. From the wide-eyed, stoned Bowie impression of ‘We Dance’ - great opening line, or greatest opening line? - to the jaunty, space-age swing of ‘Western Homes’, this is an album absolutely teeming, bursting from the seams, with ideas. Do they all work? I would actually argue that they do, but that might have something to do with me discovering this album and marijuana within the space of a week. Any album that can jump from the swirling grandiosity of ‘Grounded’ to the snotty bubblegum hardcore of ‘Serpentine Pad’ to the woozy, stumbling, circus tent tropicalia of ‘Motion Suggests Itself’ to the gentle, hope-filled twang of ‘Father to a Sister of Thought’, one after another, with all of it sounding completely unforced and unshowy, deserves to be loved. I always remember that John Lydon said he fell about laughing the first time he heard Beefheart. Even though the level of adventure on display here is a few rungs below the Magic Band’s, given that these are all still ostensibly pop songs, I have a very similar reaction this this record. It’s just so joyous and exploratory in all its ADHD glory. When you throw this much stuff at the wall, and all of it sticks, you’re operating on a higher plane.

hehe good point. I always thought that We Dance and Tangled up in blue have the best opening lines to albums.
