But I really only listened to it a couple of times over 10 years ago. I knew next to nothing about them and I had no idea they were barely out of high school when recording Spiderland. I hadn't even listened to Tweez all those years ago, only Spiderland. But it's given me a newfound appreciation for how radical and how different the music Slint was making way before anyone was doing anything close to what they were doing. True pioneers for about 3 different genres with this one album.

I grabbed The Pogues, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, John Prine, Slayer, MC5, Sly & The Family Stone and Krautrock from the GENRE series (which doesn't show up in the 33 1/3 search linked above, for some weird reason) - pretty stoked!
