Title: Not their best but a dang good album
Review: A very very fine album with probably 3-4 classic GBV songs. Sort of a cross between Under the Bushes Under the Stars and Isolation Drills. The sound--just a tad on the flat side--hovers somewhere between lo and hi fi but it isn't really detrimental to your enjoyment of the album unless you're one of those folks who refuse to listen to anything by GBV after Bushes/Stars. If that's the case, check out Jim Shelley/Book of Kills for great homemade pop 'cause Bob Pollard ain't gonna re-visit his early 90s days again, nor should he. I think the lyrics stand as some of Pollard's best ever. He occasionally achieves true poetry on Universal Truths. I know I'm in the minority here, but I think this is a better album than Earthquake Glue which I think has been slightly over-rated thus far by critics.
