Also prefer Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain. But that's not to say this album isn't amazing in it's own right. An important album in the evolution of alternative music.

Is this real life?
Anyways, I like this album, but much prefer Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain. Pavement hasn't been on my playlist in quite a awhile though. I guess I overplayed them in college.

Don't really like the last three songs, but there's so many goddamn classics on here.

I tried Crooked Rain and didn't think much of it.
Should give this a spin though.

My favorite Pavement album, it's just really good. In a Mouth a Desert is my favorite pavement song.

I would take Steven Malkmus' vocals over Jeff Mangum's any day of the week and twice on Thursdays. Mangum's nothing to write home about. Neither has Thom Yorke been for the past decade.
I can not say this album is one of my all time favorites, and probably ranks dead last of the four Pavement albums I have (though it's only in recent years Wowee Zowee overtook it). However *Here is one of their best songs and I do love that one above all the rest on this album.
That said, for "artsy fartsy" type guitar pop from a band that admitted in the 90s they don't know how to end a song (I recall reading about one performance where they just kept playing a song on and on and on until the band members gave up and left the stage one by one), it's actually pretty listenable.

What are you even talking about? None of those are "good" vocalists in the sense that they don't have the most clear and trained voices. Actually, they're notable for having distinctly edgy vocals which is what people like about them. If by "good" you simply mean that you prefer those kinds of vocals, well then that definition only applies to your taste.
EDIT: Anyway, I've actually never heard these guys so I should get around to that soon, maybe today.
