PAVEMENT'S 'Wowee Zowee: Sordid Sentinels Edition' is the super deluxe double CD version the bands damn fine and chronically misread and overlooked 1995 follow up to their pop masterpiece Crooked Rain Crooked Rain. Fresh off the success of Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain with its charttopping hit "Cut Your Hair," the band went into the studio and came out with a deliberately chaotic and eclectic album that sounded nothing like its predecessor. With influences from the Groundhogs to the Frogs, Captain Beefheart to the more obscure mid-80s central California hardcore bands, Wowee Zowee confused the critics. A return to their pre-Crooked Rain cacaphony, the songs have a darkness that now seems appropriate, and with Bryce Goggin at the mixing desk, the production was the band's most rocking to date.
