{"product_id":"pavement-crooked-rain-crooked-rain-vinyl-lp","title":"Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain [Vinyl LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eTuneful without being soft, confident without being pompous, hip without being inaccesible, CROOKED RAIN, CROOKED RAIN was a huge leap for Pavement up the rock \u0026amp; roll evolution cycle. They may have gained some pop smarts, but a casual listen to the dissonant guitar solo of \"Cut Your Hair\" proves that the seeds planted with 1989's first SLAY TRACKS EP have come to their logical fruition.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eStephen Malkmus and co. created an album that neither short-changed their status as prominent indie noise-makers, nor stunted their growth as a musical ensemble. Thus, though the inspired eccentricity is toned down--an instrumental tribute to fellow Stockton-ite Dave Brubeck being the closest thing to their early quirkiness--this is the most consistent set of stubbornly catchy songs ever. From the odd tunings and drunken AC\/DC riffing of \"Silence Kit\"--with its somber lyric of leaving the urban life behind--to the epic closing of \"Fillmore Jive\"--which begs us to say \"good night to the rock \u0026amp; roll era\"--CROOKED RAIN is an album of short stories, full of irony, wit, and hooks.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack List:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e1.
