Unfair

Certain Songs #1488: Pavement – “Unfair”

March 22, 2019 by Jim Connelly

Album: Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
Year: 1994

“The last psychedelic band from Sacto, Northern Cal!”

Somehow, despite all of the stone classics surrounding it, “Unfair” turned out to be my favorite song from Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain — meaning that it’s my favorite Pavement song, period — as it’s a near-perfect combination of screeching rage, wild guitars, hilarious lyrics and a candy-sweet melody.

To to be honest, melody does take a bit of a backset in this case, but not so much that they don’t get away with producing a song that doesn’t have any chorus at all. Instead, “Unfair” starts at about an intensity level of 9.5 and ends up going to 11. At least.
