Title: Alien Soundtracks for the 21st century
Review: Anytime someone hops on a pedal and heads to outer space, the spirit of Helios Creed/Chrome is evoked. And here, Robert Pollard and the Tobias Bros channel their inner Chrome-ness. As with much of the music released from The Pollard trust in the last five years, it is for the open minded or devoted listener. While not as focused as that superior head fest "The Harold Pig Memorial" , it is not as bad as the tiresome Ringworm Interiors. The band has the sense to space out such endurance tests as Plasma and Raw Reaction with tracks like "Gargoyle City", "Glass Boots", "Sick Color" and "Don't Be Late". This is as close to an Amp Rep record as Pollard has ever gotten. And that makes it a unique album in his formidable discography. Not an entry point for all but that most outre listener. Are You Out With Me?
