It's a remarkably good and innovative album for sure but, at the time, Touch and Go, Drag City and Quarterstick records were kings of the industry. Along with Slint there was The For Carnation, Royal Trux, Rachel's, Pavement, Bedhead, etc., etc. and all of these were everyday listening material. All I needed to "get the essence" of Spiderland was to listen to it over and over and over -- out of sheer enjoyment. |

Maybe on the first listen, people aren't really listening for the little things and they're just looking at the big picture. On the second listen people are paying more attention, because they know what's coming.

I hear the same thing with most experimental music, or pretty much anything that's outside the listener's comfort zone. I tend to get a feeling of slight dislike but with an odd urge to listen to it more with any music that goes beyond what I'm used to.
