Let the critics eat cake.

Mind you, I've only listened to the 30 second clips but I can tell you that the All Media Guide review is ridiculous in its offhanded, throw-away review. Will you find some of the same sound of past GBV albums. Sure. Many of the songs aren't lo-fi, in fact seem to have rather thick production. (And that's not a criticism.) Some of these songs I suspect The Beatles would have loved to create. John Lennon, at least. I say that with reservation, as I find Beatle-mania to be rather tiresome. (That has nothing to do with their music.) I didn't know GBV had a new album coming out. I'm psyched to listen to it given the bits I've heard. And I think I heard some things that lead me to believe that they've gone even deeper, rather than this being simply some fait accompli new album from an old band.

Six Degrees of Loaded

By Matthew Fritch, eMusic Contributor

But albums are more permeable than solid, their motivations, executions and inspirations informed by, and often stolen from, their peers and forbearers. It all sounds awfully formal, but it's not. It's the very nature of music — of art, even. The Six Degrees features examine the relationships between classic records and five… more »

They Say All Music Guide

Their first record since 2004′s Half Smiles of the Decomposed, Let’s Go Eat the Factory finds Robert Pollard and Guided by Voices reuniting to put out their first album of new material in eight years. Though it’s been a while since listeners have heard from the iconic indie band, the album finds GBV keeping with their traditional lo-fi sound and rapid-fire, bite-sized indie rock gems., Rovi – Gregory Heaney
