Pavement - Wowee Zowee

year 95 review: Wowee Zowee is not without its faults, but it’s a delightful artifact. Sordid Sentinels excavates it and enhances it. Simply put, it's the reissue of the year, the third time that Pavement can flaunt such a claim. More importantly, it, in my mind, proves Pavement to be the unequivocal best band of the 90s. Not only did they release four great albums, but three of those have been reissued so extensively, carefully, and properly that they have rewritten the rules of how a band can be great, even after they have ceased to exist.
