Guided by Voices: Half Smiles of the Decomposed

2004 ∙ Matador ∙ Indie Rock

I like it! It’s been a while since I’ve actually tapped my toe and/or bobbed the old head to a GBV song. And here you go. Sure, it’s not Alien Lanes or anything, but it’s not only a decent swipe at getting back to what made that old GBV stuff good, but a nice place to bow out. This, the last GBV album (at least until Pollard changes his mind) is just another wink at why it’s cool to be a rock ‘n’ roller.
