- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -

   Brand new album from the brilliant singer of Guided By Voices.

   I'm sick and tired of all you backward-looking crybabies. You know who you
   are: "If only it were 1994..." 1994? Were you even alive then? How alive?
   "Not as alive as Robert Pollard is right now - working the boards, finding
   the words still jump when he says jump and the guitar chimes when he forms
   the chords on the six-string with his honest-to-God DIY, home-made calluses.
   A clutch of these songs started out live in the studio, with Mr. Pollard on
   guitar, and they buzz with the charge of on-the-spot generation. All the
   secret ingredients go into the mix - even Mr. P's brother, the estimable
   outside shooter Jimmy Pollard, returns to tweak a few knobs - and the result
   is music that comes alive with that sui generis Dayton grit and sparkle.
   Check out the needling, obsessive riff on the intro to "When a Man Walks
   Away" - no mistaking the Pollard touch there-- or the distortion-drenched
   start of "Epic Heads" where one can just about smell the heat rise from the
   solid state circuit board.
