HAHAH. Now Slint are grunge? Slint are the FOUNDER OF THE FUCKIN' POST-ROCK!

Grunge isn't "slow", it's pretty fast indeed.

"they are much more media friendly and smooth"

Media friendly? Smooth?

Have you ever listened to a Slint album, at least? How can you ever find the Slint as "media friendly"?

Whispered words, extreme distortion, songs more than 5 minutes length... how can they ever been media friendly? They were pretty underground, in fact.

Great music, all I can ask for before going sleep and dreaming that I will never wake up again.

@Keiretsu Yeah this record probably influenced more albums than it sold. Well said.

[Mithyus]

my favorite song ever. That solo is brain-melting

[Guerillaradio13]

brilliant!

[Kopkilla22]

incredible inspiration.. makes me wanna roll something up

[Keiretsu]

I don't think so, and i like it better this way. Now the music is not like 10 years ago where there was a big revolution (with a lot of great minds) in the rock music with grunge, shoegaze and post-rock movement, i think they would go the commercial way and make an album without ideas, like all reformated groups (and as they invented the post-rock movement without making a single penny, i don't blame them).

aww i love this song. i hope they come to play san fransisco. i want to see them play this song. this was on my little sister birthday

[lordtarace123]

un des concerts les plus bandant de mon humble existence......

[blowie704]

Are they likely to reform?

[tigerone1970]

Slint may be contemporaries, but they have the slow, ominous sound that is one of the things that makes grunge unique. At the same time, they are much more media friendly and smooth in an almost college rock kind of way, which Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots and Alice In Chains (and Tad??) never were.
