Title: Out of the Bushes, Chasing the Stars
Product review: The critical intelligentsia seems to agree on Isolation Drills being GBV's best since Bee Thousand. While I don't necessarily agree (Mag Earwhig would be my pick) I can see why this record has garnered that kind of praise. But more importantly, it's truly interesting to see how even though there is a certain overlap ("Glad Girls", "Chasing Heather Crazy") everyone seems to list a different set of favorites from the album (I personally enjoy "Unspirited" and "Privately" very much) --regardless of how they feel about Isolation Drills as a whole. That, my friends, is always a good sign: a measure of the songwriting possessing a little something for everyone, without falling into contrived and trite conventions. Add a sympathetic, complimentary production by Rob Schnapf, and it's indisputable that Isolation Drills succeeds on various levels. (Even the packaging rocks!) In Bob we trust.
