Chicago Sun @-@ Times music critic Jim DeRogatis wrote that although " fans greeted [ Slint 's performance at the Pitchfork Music Festival ] as manna from heaven . [ ... ] the musicians ' fragile , intertwining guitar lines , mumbled attempts at poetry and uninspiring shoegazer personas were poor matches for the setting and the occasion , especially during the static , percussion @-@ deprived ' Don , Aman ' and the bloated anthem ' Good Morning , Captain ' . " According to members of The A.V. Club , Slint 's performance of " Don , Aman " at the festival " capture [ d ] the band 's greatness and its greatest weakness : Slint completely lacks stage charisma , and playing a deathly quiet , moody song on a big outdoor stage just doesn 't work . " Both DeRogatis and the A. V. Club review also noted that the band 's performance was plagued by sound problems . A New York review of a performance at Webster Hall opined " the deeply brooding , fussily @-@ executed album finally sounded , sixteen years later , like the existential , cosmos @-@ annihilating shrug it was envisioned as .
