Spiderland

Six songs recorded in about four days, with vocals added in at most two takes.
Slint, 1991

The lyrics were written largely at the last minute in the studio, and McMahan did not want to rehearse the vocals beforehand. Reviews: NME gave 7 of 10 in 1991 (Edwin Pouncey) and Christgau a C-plus in 2000. A digital bonus track, "Utica Quarry, Nighttime", runs 15:38.
