    Their best album since 1996's brilliant Under the Bushes, Under the Stars.

    If Earthquake Glue isn't a masterpiece, it's as close as this band can be expected to get, and is the rare Guided By Voices effort that's imaginative enough for longtime loyalists and tight enough for dabblers at the same time.

    Pollard has evolved into college-rock comfort food of little consequence. [#5, p.106]
