Spin (12/92, p.67) - Ranked #1 in Spin's list of the `20 Best Albums Of The Year' - "...so rich in melliflluous melodies, elliptical lyrics and thrilling, avant guitar-pop seductions that it renders any and all competition meaningless..."
Spin (12/01/02, 139) - "...Pavement's idyllic indie-rock masterpiece..."
Spin (3/92, p.73) - Highly Recommended - "...Pavement makes things happen where nothing happened before..."
Entertainment Weekly (7/31/92, p.62) - "...brimming with beautiful pop songs....Simultaneously sophisticated and unpretentious, heartfelt and totally goofy....brilliant..." - Rating: A-
Q (1/93, p.73) - Included in Q's list of the `50 Best Albums Of 1992.'
Q (6/92, p.103) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...stands out through sheer breadth of influence and innate accessibility....they play expertly..."
Alternative Press (7/95, pp.79-80) - Ranked #16 in AP's list of the `Top 99 Of '85-'95' - "...represents the first movement from grunge to slackerdom....The guitars mutate, the melodies shift and turn into half-hearted harmonies and everything is pulled together by an ever-building messy momentum and the most perfect sense of vocal phrasing and timing since Lou Reed..."
Option (7-8/92, p.118) - "...Pavement's sound has been perfected on its first LP, already a contender for album of the year....The melodies are much more interesting than most rock out there....Pavement has brought dissonance into the realm of hooks..."

Title Note

Pavement: Stephen Malkmus, Spiral Stairs (guitar); Gary Young (drums).

Engineers include: Cy Jameson.



Recorded at Louder Than You Think, Stockton, California from January 13-20, 1991 and South Makepeace Studios, Brooklyn, New York on December 24, 1990.

By the time SLANTED & ENCHANTED was released in 1992, Pavement had reached mythical status among indie-rock lovers. The hype had been generated by three masterful vinyl-only releases: SLAY TRACKS (7" EP), DEMOLITION PLOT J7 (7" EP) and PERFECT SOUND FOREVER (10" EP). The dissonant, often beautiful mix of noise and melody on these recordings reaches its apotheosis on SLANTED & ENCHANTED--an album that simultaneously recalls the haunted darkness of The Velvet Underground and the sheer garage pop of the Modern Lovers. SLANTED & ENCHANTED exists from moment to moment, establishing ideas even as it breaks them down, deifying its influences even as it escapes them, becoming more exciting the more you hear it. It is, in short, a rock and roll masterpiece.
