User Requested Reupp: Slint - Spiderland

Here's a reupload requested by one of our readers...apparently mediafire took the link down a little after we made the post. Trey, being as typically volatile as Trey is, deleted the album off of his hard drive in disgust shortly afterwards, and probably set his laptop on fire. We usually prefer to roll into a fetal position or retreat at any sign of legal trouble...but in a contrasting movement, I found a better quality rip of the album and uploaded it for your disposal:

Slint - Spiderland (1991)

Slint definitely has their little spot in the rock music history books. Credited with launching (along with Squirrel Bait whose members are featured here, Rodan, and Crain) the post-rock and math-rock movements of the late 90s, Slint is the go-to for any music anthologist looking for that "little band that started it all". They split after only two full-lengths and one EP, but doesn't it seem like all these wildly influential bands were short-lived?

Keep in mind Isis, Neurosis, Godspeed, and Pelican fans, this isn't your post-rock. This is your Dad's post-rock, sophisticated and intricate but more rooted in Indie and Alternative Rock than metal or neo-classical. We played them on the show twice, and we sure like 'em. Check it out.
