Slint - Spiderland

Recently, I was introduced to a post-rock classic Spiderland by the band Slint. The album's release was back in 1991 did not gain the status it holds today until the band had dismembered. People consider this album the first true post-rock album. This album is definitely worth the listen for anyone who is like me and had previously never taken the time to sit down with this record. The album has narrative style lyrics ranging from low spoken word vocals to yelling vocals at other points. The lyrics are dark and ambiguous, making them pair nicely with the dramatic musical shifts. This album is worth the listen if you are like me and had never previously heard this record. If you have listened to this record, I suggest giving it another spin and enjoying it for the wonderful piece of music it is.
