10/10 - Essential. Originally released in 1994, this was Pavement's second album, and it signalled the end of Pavement seeing themselves as a recording experiment and the beginning of Pavement as a full-time touring band.
One of the casualties of this change was the eccentric and usually drunk drummer Gary Young, whom was replaced by Steve West who bought a greater stability to the line-up.
The new line up recorded "Crooked Rain Crooked Rain" in NYC, and it proved to be an instant indie classic, packed with superb tracks including singles such as the awesome "Cut Your Hair", "Range Life" and "Gold Soundz".
