Our Take

In a world of auto-tuned pop stars and manufactured hits, Guided By Voices are like a refreshing slap in the face with a wet fish. "It's Not Them. It Couldn't Be Them. It Is Them!" is their latest offering, and boy, is it a corker.

From the moment you press play, you're hit with a wall of lo-fi goodness that is as charming as it is chaotic. The band's signature sound is all over this album, with Robert Pollard's distinctive vocals cutting through the fuzz like a knife through butter.

The tracks on "It's Not Them..." are short and sweet, packing a punch in under three minutes each. From the jangly guitars of "Electric Indians" to the infectious hooks of "Non-Popular Song," every song is a gem in its own right.

But what really sets Guided By Voices apart is their quirky lyrics. With lines like "I can't remember the last time I cried / But I remember your eyes were so shiny and bright," the band manages to be both profound and absurd at the same time.

Overall, "It's Not Them. It Couldn't Be Them. It Is Them!" is a triumph for Guided By Voices, proving that they are still at the top of their game after all these years. So crank up the volume, grab a beer, and let yourself be guided by the voices of the masters. Cheers!
