Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain is the second studio album by American indie rock band Pavement, released on February 14, 1994 by Matador Records. The album saw the band move on towards a more accessible rock sound than that of their more lo-fi debut Slanted and Enchanted and achieve moderate success with the single “Cut Your Hair”. The album also saw original drummer Gary Young replaced by Steve West. It was a UK Top 20 hit upon release, although it was not so successful in the US charts.
In 2003, the album was ranked number 210 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, and 212 in a 2012 revised list. In the 2020 update of the list, the album’s rank dropped to number 434. It was also ranked number 10 on their best albums of the Nineties.
In 2003, it was ranked number 8 on Pitchfork’s list Top 100 Albums of the 1990s, and in 2010, the song “Gold Soundz” was listed as number one on Pitchfork’s 200 Greatest Songs of the 1990s.
In July 2014, Guitar World ranked Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain at number 21 in their “Superunknown: 50 Iconic Albums That Defined 1994” list. The photo in the middle of the cover was taken from the March 1978 issue of National Geographic.
The album was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
