I haven't actually listened to any BPB yet. I'll probably start soon, though
you should check out his record 'I See a Darkness'
It's heartbreaking. One of my favorite records ever.

OK, but that's something intirely different from Slint. He/she just took the picture of the front, or so I've read here.

I just threw it on as some dinner music. Amazing stuff. I love "Breadcrumb Trail" so hard. We should talk about this album more
Yes that's why I cot it back on top. We almost lost it, it appered to be falling off a clive.
I hope you aren't eating a breadcrumb trail for dinner.
Maybe if I'll get up in the morning it will still be up here. Slint deserve some new fans.

man I just finally got around to checking Slint out....."Spiderland" blew me away and left me completely speechless.
Washer is one of the saddest songs ever written. totally heartbreaking.

Good night my love remember me as we fall to sleep.
Fill your pockets with a dust and a memory,
it rises from the shoes on my feet.
I won't be back here, though we may meet again.

I'm still on the fence with Spiderland. I find myself skipping through to "Washer" (track 4) and then to "Good Monring, Catpain." But the sheer brilliance of those two songs make it worth it.

it is indeed a damn fine record....it took me a while to get into it though, and there's still songs I skip over (Metropolitan Glide).
"Make It Rain" is definitely one of my top 5 favorite Waits songs ever.
"Hoist that Rag" is another classic. great song. should have been the opener.

I love Nosferatu man as well. Breadcrumb trail is fab. I like the whole thing, too bad it has only six songs.

Well this album carries a lot of hype. I guess the last album i purchased that so many folks seemed to adore was in an areoplane over the sea and that one did not disapoint, so i'll be picking this one up over the weekend.
Hopefully it is as good as everyone says.

"Spiderland" is indeed a dark, brooding masterpiece.
it's worth it just for the song "Washer" alone.

And be sure to get Spiderland not Tweeze. Spiderland is the one you want.
I have avoided Spiderland because honestly Tweeze is pretty bad. It is on the radar however there are too many CD's I need before I take this gamble. Though reading this thread it does seem like I should like it enough to put it near the top.

I hate that word hype. What should it matter. You either like it or you don't. It hasn't gathered that much attention by marketing, it is well know (underground) because it is an absolutely gorgeous album.

It is way better than Tweeze. Spiderland will not disappoint if you like what you have read here, because it is all that and more. But just to be sure I'd listen to it before buying it.

I think I need to bring some sanity in this discussion...Spiderland is a very good album no doubt but don't think it quite falls in the masterpiece category. And I've said this before but Pink Floyd could just as well be credited for spawning post-rock...maybe it didn't happen as immediately as with Slint but I hear more post-rock in 'A Saucerful of Secrets' or 'Careful With That Axe, Eugene' than I hear in 'Good Morning, Captain.'
I think mookeywrench got it spot on earlier in this thread when he said
the lo-fi production takes away from hearing everything that the album could have been especially in terms of dynamic range.
And while I'm at it let me say that Talk Talk just plain sucks. I tried a lot to hear whats so great about Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock but there is nothing. Its just some meandering and noodling around without any buil-up or break-down and it goes nowhere.
