Entertainment Reviews:
Rolling Stone - 3/23/95, pp.119-121
4 Stars - Excellent - "...[GBV] display a chemistry born of a near decade spent rocking the basement....On ALIEN they also reveal influences ranging from early Cheap Trick and T.Rex's psychedelic glam to Wire's deranged art punk and everything by the Beatles..."Spin - 4/95, pp.198-99
7 - Recommended - "...There are some classic GBV stylings here; the band's Brit fetish results in...gloriously hummable we-could-have-been-bigger-than-the-Beatles....The bands GBV sounds like start to sound like it..."Entertainment Weekly - 3/18/95, pp.88-90
"...After nine albums accompanied by foaming-at-the-mouth critical adulation, you'd think Guided By Voices would be ripe for commercial breakout. But Robert Pollard's fragmented, hallucinatory compositions and rudimentary production serve as a kind of insurance against overexposure..." - Rating: B+Q - 7/95, p.118
3 Stars - Good - "...crackly, resolutely low-fi stuff, [that] delights in coursing through 28 tracks, plenty of which give new meaning to musical brevity....A touch reminiscent of a less eclectic Camper Van Beethoven, Guided By Voices are proof that resolute underdog status can pay off in the long run."Village Voice (2/20/96) - Ranked #33 in Village Voice's 1995 Pazz & Jop Critics' Poll.
