Anyway, you may have guessed that I never get very far in this line of arguing with Guided By Voices fans. They can be somewhat defensive with Pollard's debatable skills. I want every one of you to go out and get it, listen to it, and then tell me that this is not better than Mag Earwig and Do the Collapse . They take a great hook and let it germinate, filling the album with giant flowers of songs. The kind of songs that make critics cry sappy metaphors against better judgement.
Passion surpresses any intellectual discussions.
And it isn't even raining outside. I could draw a proper pedigree. I know that they sound a bit like the Kinks. I don't want to do that to them, though. I want to embrace them as moderne saviours of pop.
