The garage-rock institution rolls on with a loosely conceptual album that is equally inconsistent and ingenious, containing some of Robert Pollard’s most direct lyricism.
Guided by Voices’ 'Earth Man Blues' could be the band’s best album since 1994’s 'Bee Thousand'.
Prolific output has always been a component of Guided by Voices' charm, but during the phase that began around 2012's Let's Go Eat the Factory, the band kicked into overdrive like never before.
