I think Spiderland is one of those albums that you can't go into expecting it to sound similar to the albums that it's inspired over the years. When I first listened to it I wasn't that enthralled by it, but after I gave it a second spin with headphones while laying down something just kind of clicked with me and I was hanging on McMahan's every word and really getting caught up in the narrative. It seems like you've already made up your mind on the album but again, this list isn't necessarily a list of the "101 best albums according to me", just 101 albums that I really like.
