Melody Maker (7/26/97, p.44) - "...It's a thing of great beauty. The eight pieces resonate with analog-warm, wet claustrophobic electricity....Each sound here is a separate character to follow, and every listen hypnotises you further. An invigorating aural massage for the soul."
Magnet (11-12/97, p.64) - "...Murky vocal samples pilfered from old instructional records and sparse, lonely organ lines stretch tenuously across stately bass lines and drum loops..."

It truly has been a slow century for Pavement fans who have been anticipating the release of this home video, ballyhooed as the band's definitive visual record, for years. Thankfully, it lives up to its billing. Containing every video the band ever made along with two full length live concerts (Seattle 7/1999 and Manchester 11/1999) and a documentary about the band by Lance Bangs that contains footage from Pavement's beginnings in 1989 to its final days in 1999, SLOW CENTURY has definitely been worth the wait.|

ペイヴメントの貴重な映像を集めたDVDが、なんと2枚組で登場。60分のドキュメンタリー、プロモ・クリップ集、そして99年に行われたシアトルとマンチェスターでのライヴ映像を収録と、驚きの充実ぶり。その歴史を通して終始ヘラヘラしているメンバーと裏腹に、観れば観るほど逆に曲の良さに気付かされる仕掛けだ。でもスティーヴ・マルクマスって、微妙にダンスが上手いな。
