The general tone is now similar to Brighten the Corners and Wowee Zowee. Along with changing the track list the album is now at the least, listenable. I tested it in the garden, April sun, drunk, at ridiculous sound levels and it was canny.

Fuck yeah. I can’t believe it’s taken so long for this deluxe reissue to come through. The reissue efforts started when S&E was literally 11 years old. Not it’s 30 years old. The BTC reissue came out in like ‘08. Fuck’s sake!
Anyway, I’ve always like Terror Twilight. It’s certainly the least-good Pavement album, but I still dig it. I’m attached to the original tracklist, so that part is a bit weird for me, but I 100% agree that the new mix is a huge improvement.
