Guided By Voices: Do The Collapse (TVT)
Andria Lisle, Raygun, August 1999
GUIDED BY VOICES Bob Pollard has reinvented his rocknroll vision, trading his home recording ethos for a slick pop sound. This aesthetic change reflects other revisions in the GBV camp, as Pollard (yet again) revamps the bands lineup and recruits Ric Ocasek to produce the groups TVT debut.
