"I bought this today really excited to hear new material from mr. Guided By Voices himself, Robert Pollard. Pollard is a hero of mine. I own many GBV cds as well as his Not In My Airforce album and now this. This is ok but really only for completest and die hard fans like myself. I've listened to it twice now and I really like the last two songs on it. Catherine from mid-october being my favorite. Zoom is a nice laid back song that ends the single. The first two songs on this I don't care to much for. And one thing i found anoying is there are sound clips at the end of the two middle songs of Robert Pollard talking to women, one from Germany. I really only recomend this to the die hards that have to have it all and it's a good price too. I wonder if this is a preview of his upcomming solo album that he is either making or will be comming out soon. Anyway it's a decent cd just not a great one. Any newbies wondering where to start for this mans works start with the two albums Bee Thousand and Alien Lanes. Once you have them then pick up Propeller which I believe is the best GBV album."
Instant classic!

"60's pop perfection and sonic landscapes unheard in this day and age. The title track is unforgettable, unbelievably human and a testament to the pain of the world as it grows."
