Pavement — Wowee Zowee: Sordid Sentinels Edition

Stephen Malkmus told ChartAttack a couple years ago that Wowee Zowee would probably be the last of the double-disc Pavement reissues, and that's a goddamn shame. In addition to the fact that there were plenty of deserving B-sides and live recordings from the Brighten The Corners and Terror Twilight eras, these reissues have been anything but a throwaway purchase for Pavement fans. Wowee Zowee's Sordid Sentinels Edition only underscores the desire for this series to continue. While most of the tracks outside the original record will be familiar to completists and downloaders, having them all in one place makes the set feel like a treasure chest, similar to the Slanted & Enchanted and Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain special editions. The material here is a little weaker than that featured on the first two reissues, but the sheer quantity makes Sordid Sentinels a must-have for Pavement's loyal legions.
