painful is great tho

Album Rating: 4.0

I do love this but it’s hard to imagine how you could give a “perfect” 10.0 to an album with an 11 minute filler track that kind of completely disrupts its flow right at the end. Not that “Spec Bebop” really diminishes my enjoyment of the album as a whole it’s just kind of an objective misstep imo.

Album Rating: 4.5

I stand with Spec Bebop

Yeah Spec Bebop is a delight

Seeing Yo La Tengo live kinda confirmed that for me. They did 2 sets, the first of which was focussed around their more 'Spec Bebop'-esque zoned out tracks and it was one of the greatest things I'd ever seen.

Album Rating: 4.0

Idk it’s a pretty useless piece of music for me.

Weirdly accurate hmm

I’ve sat in front of these guys at two movies in NYC. Just yesterday, SANS SOLEIL (1983)
