King 007
By: Guided By Voices Appears on: How Do You Spell Heaven Some fans have described “King 007” from How Do You Spell Heaven as having a jazz feel due to the opening chord progression. The chords go from E major to Am7, back to E major, and then to a D6, which is shown in the guitar […]
Back To The Lake
By: Guided By Voices Appears on: Universal Truths And Cycles “Back To The Lake” is arguably one of the greatest songs from Universal Truths and Cycles, and that’s an album just bursting with worthy contenders. There’s the anthemic, fist-pumping chorus of “Christian Animation Torch Carriers,” the dizzying thrill ride riffage that is “Everywhere With Helicopter,” […]
Amusement Park Is Over
By: Guided By Voices Appears on: August By Cake For whatever reason, I’m often tricked into thinking “Amusement Park Is Over” is the last track on August By Cake. It seems to have that kind of melancholy, bittersweet tone to it that makes for a good album closer, but maybe it’s just the word “over” in […]

Then I began to realize how dissatisfied I was […]
Office Of Hearts
By: Guided By Voices Appears on: Under The Bushes Under The Stars Here’s a simple, wonderful tune from the 1996 Guided By Voices album Under the Bushes Under the Stars, an album that gave us nothing but hit after monster hit. This one is “Office of Hearts,” and it’s nothing but verse, chorus, wordless verse, […]
Please Be Honest
By: Guided By Voices Appears on: Please Be Honest When Robert Pollard dropped Please Be Honest on us in 2016, some felt that it could just as easily have been released as a solo album instead of under the Guided By Voices moniker. Of course, Pollard did play all the instruments on the album by himself, […]
Bad Love Is Easy To Do
By: Guided By Voices Appears on: Cool Planet Ah, the reunion albums…each one a tall glass of refreshing new songs, full to the brim with exactly the kind of tasty hooks we’d all come to expect from Bob and the “classic lineup” of Guided By Voices. Not only that, these six albums more than proved […]
Redmen And Their Wives
By: Guided By Voices Appears on: Under The Bushes Under The Stars, Live from Austin, TX It was during their “final” tour, in 2004, that Guided By Voices were asked to perform on the live concert television series Austin City Limits. The entire performance—full of classic tunes as well as several from their latest album, Half […]
