Title: More of the Everlasting Big Kick
Review: Ah, whether to proclaim Bob Pollard King of Short Songs, Head-Bop Caesar, Cut-to-the-Quick God of Hook, or Emperor of Thigh Melodics--aye, there's the rub. On this album, UTAC, Pollard and The Guided By Voices offer to you songs of lo and fi, pulled from the acres of the Pop Plantation. Consider at the outset: "Wings of Thorn"; "Christian Animation Torch Carriers" (hard-core tuneage done up anthem-like); "Storm Vibrations"; "Back to the Lake" (music of the spheres, like something out of the Magnapop Bible, King Bob Version)--best of all, if you don't mind me saying, being "Wire Greyhounds". Those of you who, like me, when asked for the primest GBV reach single-handedly for "Under the Bushes, Under the Stars," prepare for similar heights. It is strong, it is sturdy, it is always true. Announce it.
