I remember hearing about slint for a LONG time, for over a couple of years, and I could not find any of their recordings.
One day my friend sozavac brought over the Kids sountrack and told me that Lou Barlow had put it together and that there was a slint song. I listened to it and was OH FUCK, this is as good or better than I imagined!
I found spiderland, Tweez (which is half good half meh) and the untitled EP soon after.
I played Spiderland every day for weeks. It is just an amazing album and it gave me hope, around 9 years ago or so, that young guys were still making bleak interesting sad/angry rock music
and yes, albini's production on it is fucking awesome as always.
