Do The Collapse by Guided By Voices - Uhune

ALBUM

DO THE COLLAPSE blasts off with "Teenage FBI," a track that hardcore Guided By Voices fans will recognize from a 7-inch single released a few years earlier. It's one of the most emotionally direct songs that frontman Robert Pollard has ever recorded. There are several other heart-on-your-sleeve rockers here that sidestep Pollard's trademark lyrical weirdness.

Produced by New Wave/weird-hair hero Ric Ocasek, DO THE COLLAPSE is the fullest and most produced GbV disc yet. Guitar tracks are doubled and sometimes pumped full of synthesizer steroids. These "big rock" songs are crunchy and rich sounding, and the band has never sounded more focused and intense. There are also more "songs" here than usual-oversized anthems rather than 45-second fragments. These are the great songs that have earned GbV legions of fans-and twice as many imitators.
