Styles We Paid For is Guided by Voices' third album of 2020 and it stands as a testament to this Year In Isolation, reflecting these dark days through Robert Pollard's prism, with the band sounding as confident and authoritative as ever. The fifteen tracks were recorded remotely during quarantine from five states (Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Tennessee) to comprise GBV's ninth album since 2017.Pollard's searing vocals hold center stage, with endless melodic invention and impeccable phrasing. The massively crescendo-ing opening track "Megaphone Riley" seems to be inspired by a diabolical politician-in-chief, and like an indie-rock Nostradamus, presciently highlights the "Jumbo Virus", while in the final couplet of the album closer "When Growing Was Simple" Pollard urges "Don't drink and drive / stay at home and eat". Other album highlights include include Big Rock standouts like the incredibly hooky "Mr. Child" with the band in full arena rock power swing, while the titular protagonist is mentioned by name no less than sixteen times; the touching beauty and lyrical relevance of "Stops" and the majestically elegant "In Calculus Stratagem", a bubbly pop rock joyride in "Crash at Lake Placebo"; the subtle current-day technological observations of "They Don't Play The Drums Anymore" and the sleek "Electronic Windows To Nowhere" (written by a man who owns neither a smart phone or a computer). It's notably heavy in it's worldliness, lyrical content, texture, and approach-and rides out like a cinematic journey of the bizarro world one find oneself in.While other bands have been napping, GBV have achieved their second consecutive hat-trick (three albums per annum), and have further cemented their status as rock legends for achieving more in this bleak year then most bands do across their entire careers.
"Styles We Paid For" is the 33rd studio album by the prolific indie rock band Guided By Voices, released in 2020. This CD showcases the band's signature lo-fi sound blended with sharp songwriting and energetic performances. The album features a collection of dynamic tracks that highlight Robert Pollard?s imaginative lyrics and the group?s ability to craft memorable hooks across various styles of alternative rock. Guided By Voices Inc., both label and manufacturer, has been instrumental in supporting independent music since its inception, ensuring high-quality releases for dedicated fans worldwide. Guided By Voices, formed in Dayton, Ohio in 1983, are celebrated pioneers of indie rock known for their vast discography and influential albums like "Bee Thousand" and "Alien Lanes." Their enduring creativity continues to inspire new generations of musicians.
