Review by Katsuki Shirai

Guided By Voices fans are in for a treat with the release of their 22nd studio album, Cool Planet. The legendary indie rock band, led by Robert Pollard, delivers an impressive collection of 18 tracks that showcase their signature sound of lo-fi, catchy hooks, and off-kilter lyrics.

From the opening track "Authoritarian Zoo," the album sets a high bar with its driving guitar riffs and Pollard's distinctive vocals. The band maintains its momentum with tracks like "All American Boy" and "The Bone Church," which highlight their ability to craft memorable melodies and anthemic choruses.

Cool Planet also features some experimental tracks, such as "Jupiter Spin" and "Record Level Love," which showcase the band's willingness to push boundaries and explore new sonic territories. The album's closer, "Cool Planet," is a fitting end to the record, with its dreamy, atmospheric sound and poignant lyrics.

The Staggering Reunion concludes with an album that I rank with the same 2 stars as English Little League and Let's Go Eat the Factory, but slightly better than the mostly awful Class Clown Spots a UFO. The fact is that it is one of the least satisfying of any GBV albums because of the plethora of absolutely awful songs (tracks 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, 13 and 14 all rank one star). Authoritarian Zoo gets things off to a rousing start and Toby does turn in the fine Psychotic Crush (maybe the best of his handful of good songs on these outings), and Hat of Flames is a classic, but the other two songs in the opening 5 are excruciating. Table at Fool's Tooth is an overlooked classic in miniature, but the AMG gets it all wrong by proclaiming the next Toby song a highlight (it's execrable). The album loses all flow because the next 8 tracks are either awful or a slight step above (Bad Love is Easy to Do is NOT the classic that uber fans or this site believe). The album finishes strong with the classic Males of Wormwood Mars and even another decent closing (and title!) track, but the long stretches of boredom make this one impossible to like as a whole and far less satisfying than some of those that outrank it slightly.
