Wowee Zowee's more or less perfect, no song should be cut out. And that they become Pavement "as people know them" with Crooked Rain means nothing really. That's just because they became more accessible and had songs that fit better as singles than before and so on. I mean, Sonic Youth probably didn't get to many plays on the radio before Kool Thing, still who cares when EVOL, Sister and Daydream Nation are the albums that most fans prefer. It's the same with Pavement and Slanted.
I love Crooked Rain, but I'm just saying.
