The garage-rock institution rolls on with a loosely conceptual album that is equally inconsistent and ingenious, containing some of Robert Pollardâs most direct lyricism.
Is it better to be a long-running band making pretty good music, or is it preferable to craft several classic albums and burn out into the night? Oddly enough, Guided By Voices has managed to do both. They have obvious classics (
Bee Thousand and
Alien Lanes), and theyâve managed to produce at least one good song every year theyâve existed. This is why for their adoring and long-loving fanbase, itâs easy to call oneself an âeternal GBV fan,â as Jay Carney, Amazonâs PR flack and former Obama press secretary, does; Beto OâRourke is obviously a fan as well.
