    Come on people you are killing me. Slint - Spiderland is the cult album of the early nineties.

    Yeah Spiderland is really fucking awesome. The "I Miss You" at the end of "good Morning Captain" are absolutely soul-crushing

    Tell them you love them. Never let the mundane, the unimportant, or worse, the misunderstood, be the final words of parting.

    Tell them.

    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.
