Pavement Terror Twilight: Farewell Horizontal

4 out of 5 - "...The songs and lyrics slide around with a decorous unpredictability, like ice on a hot stove. This is an album full of folk-rock lucidity, tough-guy guitar spills, space-rock languor and a debonair heartache worthy of Seal or Morrissey..."
6 (out of 10) - "...There's a definite sense of openness here, and songs full of forward sentiment....Never before has the language been so direct, so easy to figure out..."
"...The band can't seem to avoid implied sardonicism....marked by their usual lyric obscurantism, the record has a gentle, unsteady airiness....it's just emotions in motion." - Rating: B+
Included in Q Magazine's "50 Best Albums of 1999."
3 stars (out of 5) - "...the band's joy of random noise has not deserted them....it's an over-pleasant Pavement album...it still doesn't sound like anyone else..."
"...TERROR TWILIGHT signals [Pavement's] fuller embrace of shimmering pop music...embedding some of their most accessible songs to date in a lush production..."
"...a solid, if fairly straightforward and understated, rock record....makes the most of the group's prettiest, most sentimental material to date..."
4 stars (out of 5) - "...There's everything here from blues rock and free jazz to warped folk, lullabies, country and just plain noise....you find yourself sucked into Pavement's gloriously elliptical world..."
Ranked #12 in Mojo Magazine's "Best of 1999"
"...Pavement at their most grandly accessible....each track not only withstands but demands a similarly deranged level of engagement..."
8 out of 10 - "...It's this kind of thing that keeps Pavement completely essential....The beauty on TERROR TWILIGHT is more striking because it sounds like its been stumbled on while walking out to buy coffee, trainers or tofu..."
