We Dance is bottom three on Wowee Zowee...and Wowee Zowee is Wowee Zowee, lot of minor and/or silly tracks to contend with so not a good thing to be bottom three on that one

“Cute”



Die.

Honey I'm a prize and you're a catch
And we're a perfect match

@Doof agreed that album's bottom calibre being eh but c'mon We Dance is no Brinx Job/Best Friend's Arm/Extradition

Album Rating: 3.5

We Dance is absolutely not bottom 3 on Wowee Zowee



the bottom 3 on Wowee Zowee is *bad* (Brinx Job, Serpentine Pad, Best Friends Arm). Western Homes rounds out the bottom 4

Album Rating: 5.0

I like Extradition even if it’s a poor man’s Zurich is Stained you could say



My problem with Wowee is it buried the great tunes - Grave Architecture came on Spotify after I’d finished Crooked Rain and I thought ‘god I forgot this is one of the best Pavement songs ever’ but then you listen to the full album and it doesn’t stand out so much. It has a lot of songs like that.

Album Rating: 5.0

Serpentine Pad is also real good. I also prefer Western Homes to it.



Just never really liked We Dance too much but I always thought that was the point - to be an aggravating strange slow opener

Album Rating: 3.5

best song on that album is either Grounded or Half a Canyon

Western Homes together with Kennel District makes up that album's mediocre-but-not-bottom tier. Can see why people hate on Serpentine, but I have a ton of fun with that one too
Agreed on its weird presentation - outside of the awesome opening run, tracks like Pueblo, Grave Architecture and Fight This Generation are dropped like they're designed to slip under the radar - but that's just another part of its charm I guess.

This one's sequencing makes perfect sense, however. Slanted is front-loaded, Terror is a mess and Brighten comes a close second for smoothness

"We Dance" is my favorite Pavement opener from the four I've heard :/ (haven't spun Terror yet)

Album Rating: 4.0

Kind of jealous you guys can talk about this band so much

Pavement for me is just that band I check once every 3 years to make sure I still like them.

Album Rating: 5.0

Grounded and Father to a Sister are by far and away my two favourites on WZ. Crooked Rain worthy.



The track flow is smooth on WZ but something about it props up the weaker tracks and detracts from the best songs for me, something a tiny bit off about it.



Plus I always picture Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon listening to it and lightbulbs appearing above their heads as the next three of four Blur albums now write themselves.



Probably Damo and Gra on the cover of Wowee Zowee

"Half a Canyon" and "Grounded" are my Wowee 5/5 tunes

Album Rating: 4.5

“grounded” is one of the best songs ever

Wowie Zowie, baby you're so neat

We Dance is so good, wtf Doof

Album Rating: 5.0

I maintain it’s a strange choice for an opener at the very least

Ramshackle goodness

I mean I love that the opening lines of the album are "there is no castration fear"
