Sorry to start such a cliche' topic but are there any Slint fans around here? Yeah, it's rock..so what. And if you are a Slint fan, what did you think of Tweez? Because I only have Spiderland and I'm curious. Good Morning Captain is a masterpiece. Discuss. |

will u PLEASE go to another forum and ask your question. |

Slint is VERY GOOD. you should get Tweez - its a bit louder but still, has some great stuff on it. nosferatu man is better than goodmorning captain though - OH FUCK the whole record is great. |
||||||||
|

|
good morning captain is the best track on spiderland by far...anyways, Tweez is very good as wlel, very raw and unpolished but very good nonetheless, get it! |

tweez is "eh" in my opinion. i know some people like it better than spiderland. i dont. not at all. i think spiderland is a superior work of songwriting and performance. if you like that album check out some of pajo's stuff in tortoise, aerial m/papa m, etc... and check out the vocalists "new" band the for carnation. |

im a spiderland guy myself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the 12" is maybe the best. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd say the best song on Spiderland is Breadcrumb Trail. Tweez is an excellent album, as well. actually.. anything that is by Slint is amazing. |

i like tortoise and mogwai. thats enough post-rock for me good self |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you're missing out on some extremely good music, then. might i suggest Don Caballero? |
||||||||
|

well jebrinklog. please please for the love of god check out Lapsus Linguae. They are better than Mogwai. www.lapsuslinguae.co.uk And spread the word. They were voted BBC RAdio 1 new talent of the year in 2002. they are awesome |

i'm downloading slint as we speak |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you will soon notice the staggering similarities between mogwai's output and yes, slint's. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
slint? never heard of them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it is a band, named after some guy who comes on here sometimes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eheehe it's a honor for me. i'm very proud. anyway the best are washer,don aman and for dinner. ah also don caballero are the best.and so gastr del sol and tortoise |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
Slint are excellent. |

|

i wouldn't waste my money on tweez to be honest. the production is horrible. the guitars are drenched with a horrible chorus sound. the songs ain't the best either imho. better of picking up the untitled single and buying some don caballero albums instead. Am i the only one who doesn't think mogwai are slint ripoffs?? i think mogwai sound more like arab strap wothout the drum machines if anything. there's only one song they have that i'd say sounds like slint. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
which one? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
don cabellero are awesome, I suggest getting their stuff as well. Rodan is good too if you like Slint. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

spiderland is amazing, but tweez is horrible. NOT worth buying in my opinion. It sounds almost nothing like spiderland. And like bill said, the production is also horrible. It's amazing how much progress these guys made between 2 albums. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I still think Tweez is worth it. production maybe not as great as on spiderland, but the intensity is there already. and thats one of the things that made Slint a great band. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well atleast give it a listen before you spend any money on it... that's probably the best advice i can give you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ALWAYS good advice. ALWAYS. |

check out the cover of neil young's "cortez the killer" |

The song i'm thinking of is christmas steps. the bit where the weird riff comes in after the cool bass chords sounds kinda like slint i guess. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yup. it certainly is. |

just bought tweez(recorded by steve albini by the way)and spiderland on cd cos i still play my vinyls to death after about 5 yrs or so,i have to admit i had never heard of them until a friend whilst playing tortoise at my house(millions now living will never die)told me about david pajo,etc.could never fathom out why i had never heard of them cos i used to be obsessed with the jesus lizard and girls against boys(both touch & go bands at the time). it is obvious that mogwai completely ripped em off but so what!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree with qrter completely, altough the production isnt the greatest, the intensity is there. I dont own spiderland yet(I know, its blasphemous) but ive heard it so Im not completely being blasphemous. anyone of you have that 2 song single? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mogwai always cite them as a major influence, but there's also a lot of MBV, Joy Division, JAMC, and heavy metal influence too of course.. and weirder stuff like scottish folk songs(!) |
