Look I'm Pink Floyd or something. For his third solo album, Sprout returns to the whole kiddie-themed thing (circuses and carnivals, oh boy!) I'm not really sur...
Sprout's sophomore effort starts in outer space somewhere, with a hum that made me think my headphones had broken. The rest of the album just kind of settles in...
There's no mistaking this for anything else but a Guided by Voices solo project. Granted Tobin Sprout just doesn't have the swagger in his music that Bob Pollar...
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...
This is oddly a bit of a return to form of sorts. Again, Pollard dials it back (to the future), and comes away with an album that sounds more complete and album...
GBV has subtly moved back into a lo-fi groove. Granted, it's not all tape hiss and broken songs, but even this album's best song, "Cheyenne," has an echo effect...
I must admit that I heard "Teenage FBI" on the radio about a week before this album came out and was waiting like a slobbering dog for it. Granted, I was like t...
That's a little more like it. After the debacle that was Do the Collapse, Isolation Drills gets back to the big rock sound. See, this was what I was talking abo...
For some reason the first song on this album reminds me of that terrible King Missile song, "Detachable Penis." I'm probably the only person who thinks that, an...
Whoa there. Who is this? Apparently this is Kim Deal of the Pixies' idea of what GBV should sound like (as she produced the album). I may actually go back on my...
There they go. They've taken a baby step towards sounding like professionals. Still sounding homemade, but coming to the realization that some folks want to act...
Ah, here's the album that Propeller and Vampire on Titus promised to deliver! Granted, the horrible sound quality still drives me mad at times, but what the hel...
Sigh. This is going to be a pretty crazy undertaking, going through GBV's entire discography (or at least the one's I own). This debut starts it off with a blas...
They really dial up the lo-fi on this one. Some of the songs sound as if they were recorded in Robert Pollard's shower, and are mere snippets of songs. Reminisc...
