Editorial Reviews
Product description
Seminal album from this Louisville band. RECOMMENDED
Amazon.com
Although this Kentucky combo had a short lifespan, its influence has been extraordinary, presaging the underground "math-rock" revolution and spawning spinoffs such as Tortoise and Gastr Del Sol. But don't go thinking that the foursome is a mere footnote: The bracingly dense, dizzyingly complex songs that vein this, their second full-length release, perfectly capture the smarter face of early-'90s thug-rock. Yes, Slint's sound is descended from punk, but its members--particularly guitarist Brian McMahan--never subscribed to the "keep it simple, stupid" philosophy. Spiderland is so rife with breakneck tempo changes, off-kilter chord progressions, and bizarro-world themes, you'd be hard-pressed to go a listen without discovering something new. --David Sprague

With its dark jangly guitars, whispered and shouted vocals, and unconventional melodies, this album is a world entire, a creepy place where there's something unexpected around every corner.
You can liken it to other music by other bands--the aforementioned vocal tactics call to mind the Pixies, while the artfully dissonant guitar noise made me think of Sonic Youth. But this is one of those classic albums that is more than the sum of its parts and greater than the average of its influences. The songs are mesmerizing and chilling, fragile and strong; the guitars and vocals are bipolar, moving without warning between depression and aggression. And when you're done with them, they're not done with you--they come back again and again, like demented spirits haunting your psyche. (And it's usually the guitar parts that get stuck in your head, so you'll be muttering "Dih-dah-dih-dah-dih-dah-dih-dah-da-na-na-na" under your breath all day until your co-workers start looking at you funny and you end up putting on your headphones and listening to this again because it's already playing in your head.)
But it's not like that's a bad thing. "Spiderland" may be a strange place, but you won't want to leave.
...not the easiest to listen to at a glance- but if you're a new listener give it a chance, and your eyes will open- you will have one of the most creatively written, intricate, works of musical art.
-the songs are like stories that are delivered in a way that have yet to be matched.
Aside from this fact, this box absorbs you. It is worth every penny.
