AMG EXPERT REVIEW: The cult of indie rock thrives on the unexpected discovery, and in 1994 Guided By Voices was just the sort of musical phenomenon no one figured was still out there — Thirtysomething rock obsessives cranking out fractured guitar-driven pop tunes in a laundry room. Robert Pollard and his stable of beer buddies/backing musicians had been churning out stuff like Bee Thousand for years, but the album's surprise critical success marked the first time the group found a significant audience outside their home town, and it made a clear case for Guided By Voices' virtues - as well as their flaws. From the moment ""Hardcore UFOs"" kicks in, it's obvious that Robert Pollard has an uncanny gift for a hook and a melody, and Bee Thousand's twenty cuts are dotted with miniature masterpieces like ""Echos Myron,"" ""Smothered in Hugs,"" and ""Queen of Cans and Jars."" However, there are also more than a few duds that threaten to cancel out the good will the great songs generate, and Pollard is an acquired taste as a lyricist — his freakishly poetic verse has a real charm, but it's hard to figure out what he's on about. (GBV's other principle songwriter, Tobin Sprout, contributes less often, but manages a higher batting average.) The lo-tech rumble of the album's DIY production also wavers between being a help and a hindrance, depending on the songs, and as musicians Guided By Voices veer between sounding like inspired amateurs and ...well, just amateurs. On Bee Thousand, Guided By Voices sounds like a passionate and gloriously quirky garage band fronted by a thrillingly and maddeningly idiosyncratic songwriter; its many pearly moments make it a fascinating discovery for rock enthusiasts, but a few years would pass before this band was fully earning the new accolades showered upon it.
