Unbelievable, right? They were teenagers when they made Spiderland. Most adult musicians will never make anything that mature-sounding in their entire careers
Charles Baker
Great example of a meme album. There is absolutely nothing special about this at all.
Camden Evans
fucking faggots swimming in a reservoir
Owen Cruz
I was shocked to find out they were all still teenagers when they made this. I thought they were at least in their mid-20s.
Angel Thomas
People who rate this as the best album of all time have never fucking heard a jazz album in their life
Jace Cooper
haha, i feel bad for plebs like you. i really do
its like game over music-wise for your waste of sperm existence if you believe that.
Wyatt Rogers
It’s okay if you didn’t understand it, user. Listen to more music and maybe in time you will
Lucas Nguyen
>the lyrics are so deep man and the minimalism
>slow-burn atmospheric post-rock
Samuel Jackson
>minimalism
You’re a retard
Matthew Garcia
the lyrics are mildly interpretive for the listener, the progression of the songs aren't as slowburning as you make it out faggot
Sebastian Nelson
3.5/5 better beyond their years but not much beyond
Ethan Gonzalez
Why do people say this? It sounds exactly like what a bunch of artsy kids with low musical skill would make.
Ryder Butler
Listen to Trout Mask Replica. Kiddies.
Hunter Diaz
Pale, male, stale
Gavin Cooper
>he's too autistic to understand the emotional intricacies in the Breadcrumb Trail riffs
lmao sperg
Liam Edwards
Everyone who's heard this listened to Trout Meme Replica. Listen to something new fags.
Austin Barnes
Nothing low skill about the performances on that album
Parker Ward
Spiderland is a masterpieces in rock history. Leveraging from experiments of preceding years, Slint is now completing a more sophisticated search on rhythm and resonance, culminating in an almost transcendental quality.
Instead of being simple abstract panels, pieces like Breadcrumb Trail are "narration's", which no matter how complicated and convoluted, continue a dramatic harmonic zigzag (as founded in blues).
The lattice continuously dilates and contracts. Don Aman indulges in an avant-garde performance by playing with guitar chords such that, if played at the correct tempo, would be melodious, but played with longer and irregular pauses, are only a sequence of chords. The effect is hypnotic however, much like in New Age acoustic pieces, even if confounded with a very "rock" neurosis. Washer, with its whispered lullaby, sickening beats, and slow development, is derived as much from "nocturnal" blues as from the broader acid rock, which calls to mind the "slowcore" of Codeine. For Dinner is an even more "narcotic", anemic, seething and drowsy piece.
Almost all the pieces among this delirium are the improvised beginnings of hard rock. Nosferatu Man is probably the one most stricken by these starts. The last piece, Good Morning Captain, acts as a small resurgence of all of these lofty techniques, alternating itself with tones of a wearied guitar, neglected percussion tempos and haunting vocals. The effect is exactly that of erecting an iceberg for tragic suspense. It constitutes one of the most upsetting musical narrations in the history of modern rock.
This is what makes Spiderland a monumental work, in its capacity to construct rock music without reconstructing the stereotypes of its genre, without recourse to iconic sounds or prefabricated codes, that have always constituted the principle channels of rock expression.

People who rate this as the best album of all time have never been fucked in the ass by a nonpassing tranny at a convention motel
Sebastian Williams
Almost all of the passages, despite these excursions, feature sudden winces of hard, hard rock, with "Nosferatu Man" perhaps more struck by this than any other track. The closer, "Good Morning Captain," seems to summarize all of these highbrow techniques, alternating between fragments of irritable guitar and haunting vocal recitations. The effect erects an iceberg of tragic suspense, and actually constitutes a true upsetting of modern rock history.
Spiderland expresses emotions often put aside in modern rock, bucking stereotypes and never resorting to the prefabricated ideas of earlier sonic icons. Slint have achieved the nirvana of alternative rock, wedding masterful playing, thoughtful composing and lyrical expression to a degree seldom reached by popular music.

So I guess not knowing shit about music is a pre-requisite for loving this record, huh?

Logan Russell
best Yea Forumscore album next to ITCOTCK
Jayden Torres
they spent all their time practicing and playing their instruments. alot less distractions without internet the way it is today and no smartphones. No outlet to shitpost and jerk off all day
Kayden Ramirez
never would've guessed mellow candle were teens, the record has too mature a sound.
Lincoln Turner
id argue they were simply exposed to a 'scene' earlier than most and oddball enough to prefer it to other styles. its not like any of them demonstrate any over the top technical chops. what the album does is demonstrate a compositional restraint - that's really its achievement.
Ethan Fisher
not at all, talk to people
Michael Lee
ok professor
Caleb Ward
pretty bold to assume that you have half a brain and taste for any actually emotionally genuine art

Hunter Brown
Why is there always a "theory connoisseur" shitting all over Slint threads. Like most Slint listeners aren’t musicians themselves lol... Same thing for Don Cab et al.
Robert Sanders
>Out of Squirrel Bait by Hunglikealbini, a Trojan horse. Extolled for their multipartite songforms and, da-da, dynamic shifts from soft to loud, as well as their intimate knowledge of mental illness, these guys look like unassuming alternative types and in real life may be same. Their sad-sack affect fits right in. But musically--structurally, as one might say--they're art-rockers without the courage of their pretensions. And if you promise not to mention their lyrics they promise to keep the volume down. C+

I highly recommend the "Breadcrumb Trail" documentary, as well as the 33 1/3 book. My favorite album of all time, it just doesn't get old to me.
The reason it has aged so well is because the album isn't full of anecdotal teenage angst, it doesn't feel like an album stuck in time in that sense, it is a series of stories, none of which are about any one particular member of the band. Like, I think Brian once said that Good Morning, Captain was inspired by having to leave his little brother behind when he went studying/on tour, who would listen to that song and think it's some cringy teenagers angst about his personal life? I don't think anybody would. They're very well written songs, and definitely mature given the age they were when they wrote them.
Britt Walford is a king.
Henry Edwards
They would spend hours in Britt's basement just playing and playing and playing, definitely a hypnotic quality to it, especially given Britt's drumming, it looks surreal seeing him drum these moody and expressive beats given how young he was.
