lauck Pavement has some of the best records and album covers around. Also, my mouth is dry a lot. Favorite track: In The Mouth A Desert.

harrug Pavement have one of the strongest catalogues of any band I've heard, and Slanted & Enchanted is no exception. Even 30 years later, there's nothing quite like it. Favorite track: Loretta's Scars.

dave_themoonman Tough to pick a favourite from this gem... currently it's Two States. It'll change on the next listen. Here always has a place in my heart. A record that defined an era. Favorite track: Two States.

Fernando Villalon ..wow 30 years already! We never get old

Today, we celebrate 30 years of Pavement’s debut full-length, Slanted & Enchanted, which was first released on this day in 1992 via Matador Records. It remains a truly monumental album – one that defined/ruined a generation and a genre, depending on who you ask.

This isn’t our first pass at the ‘Slanted and Enchanted’-anniversary-game and we’ve put decades of hard-earned know-how into making this one pop.

To start: On August 12, Pavement will release a limited-edition run of the Slanted & Enchanted on red/white/black splatter vinyl for the album's 30th anniversary.

We’ve also pressed up a lovingly detailed replica of the cassette Pavement used to shop ‘Slanted and Enchanted’ to prospective record labels, titled ‘Courting Shutdown Offers.’ This is an early version of the finished album with a different running order and a handful of alternate track titles.

This album means a lot to me. It has been a comfort for me since the band was releasing singles from it onto Spotify. The full album was released soon after I moved far away from the US for a time, and I would listen to it often to remind myself of home. Even after returning home, it provides endless comfort. I'm so glad to see so many "Simulation Swarm" fans on here; I love the song's poetry and it's genuinely the most comforting song I've ever heard! A cozy folksy ride. Every track shines. someonescopine

I always tell people that recommend me jazz that I don't like jazz, but this album showed me that that is an utter lie. Apparently I love jazz, and this album made me realise it. Evert
