"First, I'd like to say this is the best work Pavement has done, hands down. But you'd be way better off just buying the Slanted and Enchanted reissue which includes all songs on this EP along with other live cuts for less than 15 bucks. That's all I have to say."
Give it up for the chicken!

"One of the best 10 minute albums yet seen: four very clever tracks of high energy, enjoyable Slanted-and-Enchanted-style rock packaged up nicely for those short trips to the market on Sunday... it's even got a chicken on the cover to remind you to get eggs. If you like Slanted and Enchanted, you'll love Watery, Domestic... it goes for a watered-down price too."
My favourite ever single

"From the initial feedback of Texas Never Whispers, to the end of Shoot the Singer, this a masterpiece, filling an EP with as much as could be found any of their albums.(And I'm not knocking any of their albums either.) Simply, Texas.... is the finest Pavement song ever written, and Lions is magnificent. Buy this single at all costs."

"If you like Pavement--buy this record. If you don't like Pavement, or don't know anything about them--buy this record. I could listen to it over and over and over...and have been known to do just that on occasion. Get it on vinyl if you can."
If only it was longer

"This second release for matador records is the bands first sly attempts at the full sound of their following album "Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain." Steve Malkmus and company do not abandon all the disonance of earlier works but a confidence in their songwriting and playing can be heard in such quiet tracks as "Texas Never Whispers." This EP casts a longer shadow than it has been acknowledged to and is essential for understanding where Pavement is today and how they got there. It doesn't hurt that it is plain fun to listen to."
