Robert Pollard, Guided by Voices, releases a ton of albums, they all sound the same but are still awesome, see all my other Robert Pollard reviews, blah blah blah.  If you don't know what you're getting from this guy by now you've most likely been in a coma for 20 years.  Or you're really stupid. 

One thing of note with this record is the songs are all based around a grip of poems he wrote, so instead of writing songs then coming up with crazy lyrics for them, he wrote the crazy lyrics first and then wrote the songs around them.  Honestly, the results sound the same to me but everyone else seems to be mentioning it and I don't want to feel left out.
