i think they're the closest we've had to the beatles this century. they've had the same career progression... cherry peel and that era was the cute, folksy songs, and it went to satanic panic in the attic with their middle phase, now with skeletal lamping, it's the psychedelic era.

kevin barnes is a lyrical genius.

what do you think? have you heard their new album?

this is the skeletal lamping cover

The Beatles comparison is something I just can't agree with at all. They're a pretty good group, nonetheless. I found this one slightly disappointing compared to Hissing Fauna. It's too horny for it's own good and the songs are way too busy sounding that it gives me a headache.

Guided by Voices were the Beatles of the 90's, without the fame.

guided by voices are that band i say i love, but i only really listen to once or twice a year then promptly forget.

what i really meant was, the horniness aside, they've had the exact same career progression and like the beatles, they keep getting better.

All their songs are crammed in my head forever, so technically I have no need to listen to them anymore.

hahahah. ive mentioned on herew a few times how i hate them unequivocally. just an annoying ass motherfucking band.

i don't like them but i can see how others might love them. Good bandc, not for me.

I haven't heard anything new, but saying that, I haven't bought new music in a while.. broke. Anyone who already likes them (but doesnt hold them as a favourite), think it's good?

funny because I was just unpacking some more cd's too see what I haven't put on itunes and found a bunch of of montreal mix cd's some radom awesome guy from the flaming lips forum made for me years ago.
