While not my favorite of theirs (that honor would go to Wowee Zowee), Brighten the Corners is most definitely my "go-to" Pavement album. I never really understood all the dislike for it, maybe because I never really listen to Pavement for all the racket-y, lo-fi stuff (though when it's there, it's certainly appreciated), but I mainly listen to them because they can craft a fuckload of melodic tuneage, and BtC has a ton of that.
Anyway, I hope this does see the light of day this year. The last three are the only deluxe editions I've bought by any band and they were worth every cent.
