Slanted and Enchanted
''Slanted and Enchanted'' is the debut studio album by American indie rock band Pavement, released in April 1992 on Matador Records. The album was distributed to critics as early as 1991, months before its official release; the original distribution did not feature the entire band, as several members joined during its production. The recording sessions were split between South Makepeace Studios in Brooklyn, New York (recorded 24 December 1990) and Louder Than You Think Studios in Stockton, CA (recorded 13–20 January 1991).
The title ''Slanted and Enchanted'' is taken from the title of a cartoon made by Silver Jews frontman David Berman. Its cover art was created by appropriating that of an existing album, Ferrante & Teicher's ''Keyboard Kapers''. ''Slanted and Enchanted'' was officially released on 20 April 1992 to critical acclaim, originally reaching a peak of number 72 on the UK Albums Chart.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pavement )〕 A two-disc expanded version of the album, ''Slanted and Enchanted: Luxe & Reduxe'', was released in 2002. In 2003, the album was ranked number 134 on ''Rolling Stone'' magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. As of 2007, the album has sold 150,000 copies.
==Critical reception==
In a contemporary review of the album, Robert Christgau of ''The Village Voice'' was highly positive, writing that Pavement are "good at both tune and noise" and that ''Slanted and Enchanted'' yields "a message complex enough to offer hope... that the lyrics will catch up".〔 Erik Davis of ''Spin'' designated ''Slanted and Enchanted'' as the magazine's "Platter du Jour" for March 1992, describing the album as "so fine it occasionally seems too perfect."
Since its release in 1992, ''Slanted and Enchanted'' has appeared on many critics' best-of lists and is frequently cited as being among the most influential indie rock albums of the 1990s. AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine cited the album as "a left-field classic" and "one of the most influential records of the '90s".〔 In 2002, Pitchfork Media awarded the album their maximum grade of 10.0/10.0 in a review of the album's reissue and ranked it as the fifth greatest album of the 1990s in 2003. ''Rolling Stone'' called ''Slanted and Enchanted'' "the quintessential indie rock album."
