“When this disc opens with “Stereo,” you’re immediately compelled to grin. And grin you do. For the duration of the album. A natural high, the tracks roll on. “Transport is Arranged,” “Date With Ikea,” “Old to Begin.” Each one somehow ultimately more awesome than the last. Stuck in a joyous stupor, your only option is to go limp and let the music move you.” – Pitchfork

A joyous pop explosion, Pavement’s 4th studio album Brighten The Corners received both critical acclaim and commercial success in 1997, spawning the singles “Stereo,” “Shady Lane” and “Embassy Row.”
