Robert Pollard
Reviews
Robert Pollard: Elephant JokesAfter the cohesive sound of his recent solo work, Pollard turns once again to his schizophrenic pop muse on the 22-track Elephant Jokes. [11 August 2009] 
Robert Pollard: The Crawling DistanceRecently, Pollard seems to have been jolted back to life, and that continues with The Crawling Distance, his most consistent and energetically infectious group of songs in a decade. [20 January 2009] 
Robert Pollard: Robert Pollard Is Off to BusinessRather than spit out 22 short, uneven songs, Pollard focuses on 10 with his new album, and delivers some of his best post-GBV work. [29 May 2008] 
Robert Pollard: Superman was a RockerMining his old tapes for hidden gems is an interesting idea, but Pollard's idea is only as good as its execution. [21 February 2008] 
Robert Pollard: Coast to Coast Carpet of LovePollard inevitably releases two albums on the same day, one of which is worth your time. [11 October 2007] 
Robert Pollard: CricketsIn typical Pollard fashion, Crickets is overstuffed with filler, but sifting through the mess will yield some classic tracks, and even a few lesser-known gems. [16 July 2007] 
Robert Pollard: Silverfish TriviaUncle Bob is back, err, still around with Silverfish Trivia, his new, mostly disposable mini-LP. [2 April 2007] 
Robert Pollard: Normal HappinessFar from giving up the grape, Dayton, Ohio's greatest rockstar opts for consistency on sixth effort of the year. [18 October 2006] 
Robert Pollard: From a Compound EyePollard, the debauched saint of indie rock, releases his first solo album post-GBV. Yes, you still have a legitimate reason to sit at home and drink alone. Thank you, Uncle Bob. [19 January 2006] 
EAT II: A Collection of Words and Pictures by Robert PollardIt's hard to find any meaningful distinction between Pollard's poems and his songs, other than the latter generally work, and the former generally don't. [4 November 2005] 
Robert Pollard: Fiction ManIt’s rare to find someone in the rock world who is essentially a human jukebox of songs. What else can one say about the front man of Guided by Voices? [24 May 2004]
Robert Pollard: Motel of FoolsThe more time you spend with Motel of Fools, the more all of these feelings of incompleteness begin to make sense. [31 January 2003] |
