Album Reviews
Nowhere To Go But Up
#1 Album Of The Year - MAGNET Magazine
“The album is an unabashed, bombastic and unapologetic statement of purpose from one of America’s greatest living songwriters." - Paste Magazine - Album of the Week
"Unrepentantly full of hooks, and immediately hummable, is a sure testament to his songwriterly powers.” **** 4 star Shindig Magazine
“With Nowhere To Go But Up, Guided By Voices pull off their 2023 LP hat trick. The album title succinctly sums up the band’s trajectory. Here’s to another fruitful decade of GBV.” - Uproxx
“GBV’s hot streak continues with one of their best albums in ages." ALBUM OF THE WEEK #1 - Brooklyn Vegan
"His wonderful songs are getting the treatment that they deserve and his band sounds just great." 8.5/10 - Northern Transmissions
"The element that sets the album apart from other 2020s GBV output isn't the songwriting as much as the sound they achieve; a nearly slaphappy implementation of the studio to make Pollard's oddball musings and occasional heart-rending turns of phrase bigger than ever." — AllMusic
“Always great, and frequently exceptional, they remind us as we stare down the end of another year that they are one of the best we have, and thankfully we’re unlikely to have to wait too long until the next installment.” - Stereoboard
"Nowhere to Go but Up ultimately shows Guided by Voices holding a torch for no-frills indie rock with no punches pulled [...] every infectious melody and swinging riff they can manage still works even after 40 years of changing the very DNA of indie rock music." — FLOOD Magazine
"Heavy guitar riffs line the heartfelt vocals for 11 tracks of pure rock bliss as the prolific band shows no signs of slowing down. 'We’re Going The Wrong Way In' is an early favorite with soaring vocals and crunchy textures for every guitar riff enthusiast." — Glide Magazine
"Light on choruses, heavy on muscular riffs & stuffed with shapeshifting cuts dusted with bells, horns and more sonic weirdness, GBV's 39th LP keeps you on your toes." — Tinnitist
“GBV arrive with a renewed energy on Nowhere to Go but Up, with no frills, no disappointment and consistent songwriting.” — mxdwn
Welshpool Frillies
#1 Album Of The Year - MAGNET Magazine
The Quietus - Best Albums of The Month
“The stakhanovite productivity of Robert Pollard shows few signs of letting up. Long may it continue.” - The Quietus
“Welshpool Frillies maintains the high standard of GBV since [Pollard] reunited them six years ago.” **** 4 stars - MOJO
"A display of undoubted brilliance.” - Far Out Magazine
‘Pollard is still an earworm factory: see “Why Won’t You Kiss Me,” “Cruisers’ Cross,” “Don’t Blow Your Dream Job,” and sure to be chart smash “Radioactive Pigeons.”’ - Brooklyn Vegan
“Welshpool Frillies is the 38th GBV album (depending on how you’re counting), and it’s a very good one." - The Fire Note
“Guided by Voices has never had so long a streak of consistently fine albums as they've had since this edition came to be, and Welshpool Frillies shows this band (and their indefatigable leader) aren't about to let us down now.” - Allmusic
**** 4 stars - "Another impressive batch of new songs.” - Shindig
“Ingenious lyrics and incendiary guitars.” - Northern Transmissions
La La Land
#1 Album Of The Year - MAGNET Magazine
"Robert Pollard’s voracious musical appetite continues its remarkable run with GBV’s 14th album since 2017. The new lineup are everything that people love about GBV – eclectic, quirky, provocative, melodic, clever, unexpected – but with greater depth and texture and a more pronounced sense of mischief. Their productivity is unparalleled….”
**** 4 stars - Uncut Magazine
"Bob Pollard's stash of earworms doesn't seem like it's ever going to run out, and with this great iteration backing him let’s hope it never does.” - Brooklyn Vegan
“Riding his latest hot streak of critical acclaim, Pollard continues expanding his songwriting towards extremes of prettiness, heaviness and poeticism. As always, unforgettable hooks are everywhere.” - Tinnitist
“Not only does the band’s output remain as inexhaustible and freewheeling as ever, the album stands as some of their best late-career work. ”- Slant Magazine
"As ornately developed (and varied) as anything in the GBV canon, La La Land puts an exclamation point on what’s turned out to be a rather remarkable late-stage renaissance." - Paste
“La La Land captures the incredibly rare state of a band still sounding fresh and curious on their 37th LP, and shows no indication of Pollard and co. stopping anytime soon.” - AllMusic
Scalping The Guru
“Scalping the Guru is fun, rough, and artful. Even if it’s not really a new Guided By Voices album, can you really ask for more?” - Pop Matters
“A reminder of Pollard’s unstoppable drive to create before the band reached their status as one of the great indie-rock groups of all time.” - PASTE Magazine
“The strength of this GBV era is completely on display with Scalping The Guru and it is a real beginning bookend for the musically tight rock records that the current Guided By Voices lineup is releasing today.” - The Fire Note
Tremblers And Goggles By Rank
“With their 40th anniversary on the horizon in 2025, is it possible Guided by Voices have become the best recording act of their day? Add Tremblers and Goggles by Rank to the dozen other LPs they released in the 60 months previous, and the argument doesn't seem the least bit unreasonable.” - Allmusic
"Refusing to be complacent, Guided by Voices Tremblers And Goggles By Rank proclaims “to hell with what people believe us to be, hold my beer” and establishes a solidly complex new record full of surprises and rewards." - Nano Bot Rock
“…precisely the sort of GBV album I would have never expected or thought I wanted — a tight rock record with zero filler.” - Uproxx
“[Pollard] emulates the buoyancy of Pink Floyd’s prog-psych bliss circa The Piper at the Gates of Dawn and the ornate haze of The Kinks’ The Village Green Preservation Society, yielding yet another solid gold deposit in his astounding discography.” - The AV Club
“follows along a similar high-fi rock path as Crystal Nuns Cathedral, except...this one's ever better?” - Brooklyn Vegan
“‘Lizard on the Red Brick Wall’ … doubles down on the sharp post-punk sounds of preceding pre-album cuts and [adds] elements of heavy-psych to the record’s already-unique flavors among the band’s incredibly dense catalog.” - FLOOD Magazine
“‘Tremblers and Goggles By Rank,’ the 12th LP from the latest lineup and the second album of the year, dropped just four months after the release of “Crystal Nuns Cathedral.” It’s no exaggeration to say they are as strong as any releases in the Pollard discography.’ - Dayton Daily News
“If Tremblers And Goggles By Rank tells us anything about the future of Guided By Voices, it’s that there’s plenty of creative gas left in the tank.” - The Fire Note
“The prolific Ohio group’s latest is as packed with invention as ever, leaning towards their proggier side.” - The Guardian
Crystal Nuns Cathedral
“Pure power pop perfection.” - Glide Magazine
“For a band that released five new albums in 2020 and another two in 2021, alone, even a global pandemic didn’t contain the expanse of new music flowing out of Robert Pollard and co.” - American Songwriter
"Nobody in the world is currently making more good music than the indie-rock heroes Guided By Voices." - Boston Herald
"A late-career masterpiece" - PopMatters
"This is Guided by Voices at their most magisterial, with power-chord riffs working in tandem with Pollard's melodies that spiral up and up." - BrooklynVegan
“Op Crystal Nuns Cathedral zijn de songs weer wat complexer, maar het blijven songs met een kop en een staart, die geen seconde langer duren dan nodig. Geweldig album weer.” De Krenten uit de Pop
“Crystal Nuns Cathedral is further proof that Guided By Voices’ incredible endurance and speed of output is the least remarkable thing about them, dwarfed by their ability to create vital new music that twists classic guitar pop moulds ever more intriguing shapes.” Joyzine
“Pollard and his long-standing, ever-shifting band may be the living definitions of “indie” and “lo-fi,” but each album has been a sturdy collection of fully-realized songs. Crystal Nuns Cathedral, arriving just four months after the band’s last LP, is being touted as one that will stand above the pack.” Spectrum Culture
**** 4 stars. “Thirty-five albums in, incredibly, GBV are still scaling new heights.” - Mojo
**** 4 stars “Pollard and cohorts have an innate rare ability to shower listeners with poperpop earworms that are as rousing as they are comforting.” - Shindig Magazine
“At only twelve songs, some of them hitting the four-minute mark, this is the epic, anthemic side of GBV, nicely produced, more prog-oriented than the power pop nuggets of Earth Man Blues. ‘Re-Develop’ ascends steadily to a defiantly euphoric chorus. ‘Never Mind the List’ stealthily sneaks into your consciousness and stays stuck there, hard not to sing along to. ‘Excited Ones’ and ‘Mad River Man’ are likewise highlights, but this is a very even album best heard as a continuous piece, where it will get under your skin, if you let it in.” The Quietus
“Sure, there is plenty of great new music out there with a multitude of artists blending genres and finding new spaces between the chords but where is the classic rock vibe that many of us grew up on? Guided By Voices’ 35th album, Crystal Nuns Cathedral, is the answer.” Firenote
“This record is a statement, a challenge, a monument, a call to arms.” Cincy Groove
“Pollard continues to challenge himself and listeners with his songwriting and his continued evolution is a breath of fresh air.” GhettoBlaster
“Pollard and his long-standing, ever-shifting band may be the living definitions of “indie” and “lo-fi,” but each album has been a sturdy collection of fully-realized songs. Crystal Nuns Cathedral, arriving just four months after the band’s last LP, is being touted as one that will stand above the pack.” Indie Rock Cafe
“The world needs the rock, and we need loud guitars, we need anthemic songs, we need a reason to raise a rock fist in the air and give a “Hell Yeah”! On Crystal Nuns Cathedral, the band deliver all of this and so much more.” The Tinnitist
It’s Not Them. It Couldn’t Be Them. It Is Them!
"GBV deliver a stunning, large-hearted collection of power-pop and off-the-wall oddities laced with beautiful strings and horns throughout.” 8/10 rating - PopMatters
**** 4 stars “This maximum rock n roll” - Shindig
“His prolific nature is nothing new, but it’s still astonishing when you take a step back to look at what he’s accomplished recently.” - Spectrum Culture
"They are as essential and as American as Grateful Dead, The Band and REM." - Joyzine
"Fantastische… Wat een band!” - De Krenten Uit De Pop
"Bob remains an earworm factory that operates 24/7 and 2021 has been a banner year for GBV” - Brooklyn Vegan
“The most soaring compositions Robert Pollard's written in quite some time… This is a winner of a record.” A Pessimist Is Never Disappointed
**** 4 stars “'I collect the clouds of morning’ he sings. And somehow turns them into songs it seems.” Mojo (subscribe here)
"It's Not Them. It Couldn't Be Them. It Is Them! is superior work from a great rock band. If this is going to be typical from this point on, we're all pretty fortunate." - AllMusic
Cub Scout Bowling Pins - Clang Clang Ho!
“Cub Scout Bowling Pins beg the questions: Exactly what mind-altering substances are they taking? And where can we get some?” - The Big Takeover
**** 4 stars “Their ‘debut’ LP is an exuberant celebration of what pop could mean in our favourite decade, and the ever-surprising and mutable pot-pourri of genres and styles the 60’s so lovingly taught us to embrace.” - Shindig!
“Listening to an alternative staple such as GBV indulge their whims by essentially playing musical dress up proves to be an enjoyable experiment.” - Surviving The Golden Age
Guided By Voices - Earth Man Blues
"Their best album in decades, packed to the hilt with gorgeous melodic flourishes and irresistible hooks. Let these tunes into your head and your heart and you’ll be singing them for weeks" - The Quietus
“One of the more excitingly experimental, weirder albums in the band’s discography." - Spill Magazine
**** 4 stars "The band’s latest squarely hits all the marks that make Guided By Voices great — again and again and again” - Rolling Stone
"One of GBV’s most eclectic, adventurous records to date." - Rolling Stone
***** 5 stars "Thrilling...Earth Man Blues is all killer... a knock-out from start to finish." - Shindig
"Guided By Voices' best record in ages." - Brooklyn Vegan
**** 4 stars “A wonderfully bizarre and occasionally disarming ride through warped thoughts and cracked beauty." - Allmusic
**** 4 stars "Het rauwe gitaargeluid van een eigenzinnige indieband die zich ontwikkeld heeft tot een gedreven powerpop gezelschap. Een scherpe rockmachine die met het nodige krachtvoer een explosieve indruk achterlaat en nog lang niet uitgespeeld is.” - Written In Music
“Earth Man Blues is a singular and exquisite artistic achievement which further illuminates Robert Pollard’s unparallel songcraft as well as GBV’s adroit musicianship.” - The Ash Gray Proclamation
“Guided By Voices wederom een prima album heeft afgeleverd.” - De krenten uit de pop
“Earth Man Blues' story may only make sense to Pollard, but the songs work on their own, making for GBV's best album in at least a decade.” - Brooklyn Vegan
Guided By Voices - Styles We Paid For
“As I held this album, the third new GBV record I’d put my hands on in the past 12 months or so, it dawned on me that for some of us (ahem) older fans of a certain vintage who perhaps grew up in the 1960s this band is filling a void for a much needed regular new music fix.” - Audiophile Review
“Mr. Child, a character sketch of a Peter Pan figure who refuses to let go of his youth, also probably will not surprise anyone familiar with Pollard and his ways. It’s a three-minute power-pop track recorded just short of high fidelity, with a melodic magnetism that indicates Pollard’s still got it after all these years.” - Stereogum
“A good one too, full of Pollard's signature anthemic rock songs, steeped in The Who, Wire and all his other favorite stuff but sounding only like GBV." - Brooklyn Vegan
“Another uber-hooky powerpop feast" **** 4 stars - Shindig!
"Wat een heerlijke band is dit toch." - De Krenten uit de pop
"8/10 ...capping off another banner year" - Allmusic
Your Respite From the Eternal Doomscroll… - Rolling Stone
“Another startling burst of creativity.” - Guitar.com
"Guided By Voices‘ unstoppable creativity finds a way." - Echoes and Dust
Guided By Voices - Mirrored Aztec
**** 4 stars “Genre-bending insanity” - Shindig
“Guided By Voices Continue to Make Great Albums Just for the Hell of It” - Exclaim
"You gotta give it up for Robert Pollard, he just does not stop." - Brooklyn Vegan
“En als het niet komt is er ook geen man overboord, want het uitstekende nieuwe album van Guided By Voices gaat als het moet nog best even mee. Wat een geweldige band is dit toch.” - De Krenten Uit De Pop
“Another triumphant album for Pollard and company, the only band that may very well outlive us all.” - Slant
**** 4 stars "The album's driving force is one of giddy excitement….High-energy and high-strung, Mirrored Aztec is a cut above the usual set of fresh Pollard tunes. The memorable, high-octane, and outright strange moments all sit nicely together in a way that GBV's best albums perfected.”- AllMusic
"The new record is unrestricted by mainstream ideas or expectations and is its own boss without a care for anything more or less, which is why we recommend it.” - Meaww
“Mirrored Aztec sees Guided By Voices consolidate their position as the hardest-working men in indie rock.” - Backseat Mafia
"Glue and paper visionary Robert Pollard's 107th album is the kind he drops every few months to still prove he can melt your ice cream heart with bath-bomb-scented melodies while scrambling your brain with a scuffed-up bricolage of his childhood classic rock collection.” - Idler
“How does he do it?… The newly released GBV album Mirrored Aztec falls squarely in the HiFi realm and may well be the best yet from the current incarnation of the band.” - Audiophile
“Pollard shows a love and dedication for the craft that few people have and Mirrored Aztec solidifies that they are here to stay.” - Buzzyband
“After thirty studio albums, Guided By Voices has not run out of steam and continues to safeguard its fixture in music tradition and legend.” - California Rocker
Guided By Voices - Surrender Your Poppy Field
"GBV's 30th full-length juggles homemade lo-fi recordings with sculpted studio tracks, but the songs themselves are of a piece: prizing hooks and focus over abstraction, while never losing Pollard's trademark ramshackle charm." - Mojo
“The towering power hooks, the seismic 4-track charm, and all the psych/pop/punk/prog weirdness in between. Proud dizziness abounds, familiar and surprising at once.” - Shindig
“Robert Pollard is still coming up with new twists on his patented brand of anthemic power pop.” - Slant
Guided By Voices - Warp And Woof
"Their hot streak continues with this new record." - Paste Magazine
"It's up there with some of their best... this is the pinnacle so far of the current GBV reformation, reaching in parts the high calibre of classic era albums like Alien Lanes and Under The Bushes Under The Stars." - The Quietus
"Grips the listener and refuses to let go. This album plays as a consistent, brilliant album from beginning to end." - Spill Magazine
"4.5/5 - This is a band on a mission." - The Fire Note
"It's a whole lot of fun. Who would have guessed that GBV would be in the midst of a new golden era 15 years after they first broke up?" - Allmusic
"So much rock goodness here. What are you waiting for? Start listening!" - Audiophile
"Warp and Woof teems with aliveness." - The Talkhouse
Guided By Voices - Zeppelin Over China
Exclusive Album Premiere: Robert Pollard Talks Guided By Voices' Massive New Album 'Zeppelin Over China' - Gothamist
"It is somehow surprising that a release from an artist with over 100 albums to their name can sound so inventive and new, but at the same time, it’s completely unsurprising and outright expected when that artist is Robert Pollard." - The Spill Magazine
"Zeppelin Over China’s 32 songs provide plenty of high-energy rockers, mid-tempo contemplations and just enough general weirdness to let you know that this is, indeed, a Guided by Voices record." - Spectrum Culture
"The opening stretch alone offers babbling, sinewy post-punk, dreamy jangle pop and an ominous dirge in quick succession, while other stretches yield delicate filigrees of chamber pop, lysergic behemoths and heavy slabs of concrete rock. It's everything you've ever loved about Guided By Voices, all smashed together in one record.” - The Line of Best Fit
"GBV is relevant and releasing material every bit as good as their heyday. Hell, maybe this is their heyday. There is no doubt that this is the most talented group Pollard has ever put together." - The Fire Note

Guided By Voices - How Do You Spell Heaven
“Pollard's unprecedented creative spark shows no signs of going dark.” - Magnet 8.5/10
“This album and its immediate predecessor seem to indicate Pollard continues to be in peak-form.” - ABC News
“Some of these songs rank among the most intimate and earthbound in the band's bottomless canon.” - Pitchfork
“Pollard seems to have done it again...These are great songs. They make a great album.” - Sputnik Music
“A super-cohesive new argument for any fan of rock & roll who hasn't been jumped into the cult yet.” - Glide
Guided By Voices - August By Cake
“August by Cake is not only an album but an accomplishment...It's soaked in victory, gratitude, and awe for the gift of music." - Glide 8/10
“A work of sprawling ambition." - Crack Magazine
“A surprising rebirth for one of indie rock's most challenging veteran acts.” - ABC News
“The album is so strong that it's possible had this been released instead of Bee Thousand at the time, it would've had the same impact.” - Under The Radar 8/10
“The potential for the roller-coaster to go flying off the tracks is, as always, part of the fun.” - AV Club
”August by Cake is an emblem of generosity.” - Tidal
“A grab-bag of all the things that have made various versions of this act so great for so long...The wildly-prolific god of American alt-rock has hit some kind of peak with this one.” - A Pessimist is Never Disappointed
Guided By Voices - Sweating The Plague
“It’s worth appreciating this exciting outlier and a Guided by Voices that can be led triumphantly into uncharted water by its intrepid captain.” - Slant Magazine
“It is one heavy listen that has a slow burn density of songs with brilliantly executed shifts which purposefully keep you on an engaged edge from beginning to end....without a doubt, this Guided By Voices represents the best musicians to work together under the name... Sweating The Plague is not just the best Guided By Voices album released this year – it is one of the best overall records released in 2019.” - Fire Note
“Sweating the Plague is a terrific record, one that offers up a little bit of something for everyone.” - Punknews.org
“While April's Warp and Woof thrived through its open embrace of a punk rock philosophy, its grime-saturated collage of sporadic low-fi gemstones a satisfying continuation of Guided By Voices' recent run, October's Sweating the Plague delivers a compelling statement about both Robert Pollard's legacy as a singer-songwriter and his band's own live reputation that is as coherent as it is goosebump-inducing.” - PopMatters
“Sweating the Plague shows Robert Pollard achieving the near-impossible; stringing together a steady decade of such strong material this late into his band's career.” - Exclaim!
“Sweating the Plague sounds big and bold, with Robert Pollard and his crew (Doug Gillard and Bobby Bare Jr. on guitars, Mark Shue on bass, and Kevin March on drums) quenching their thirst for hard rock bluster and prog rock melodic blandishments. But they're also keeping things relatively compact here, and though 12 songs in 38 minutes is fairly hefty by GBV standards, Sweating the Plague is like a good, solid meal that leaves you satisfied but not bloated.” - All Music

GBV Live 2021-2022
“Guided By Voices Return to the Stage in a Spray of Miller Lite and an Avalanche of New Songs.” - Rolling Stone
“Guided by Voices has to be the least fake band in rock and roll history. Everything about them is real. Down to the most emotional, true to life songs that make you feel your ordinary humanity.” Janky Smooth
“Guided by Voices are in a class of their own. Widely regarded as helping ignite the college rock explosion in the early ‘90s, the little ol’ band from Dayton, Ohio, is still going strong.” Big Takeover: Treefort 2022 Pick of The Day
“Their show in Portland – besides being a journey through multiple styles of rock and roll – was the physical manifestation of a prolific career that has been mostly under the radar of the mainstream. But for the diehards in the audience, this was a chance to ingest the massive body of work from the man behind it and his talented crew of musicians. It was also reaffirming proof that, as they approach forty years, Guided By Voices isn’t ready to hang it up anytime soon” Glide Magazine

"A simply astounding, mammoth, inspiring set from the indie rock heroes." - Clash
"This prolific and much-loved indie-rock band bashed out an impressive sweat-soaked two-hour set of short but sweet punky songs." - The Times
“It was rammed, ecstatic, celebratory.” - The Quietus
“Golden Star for Guided By Voices.” - 3voor12
