Using my new scoring method (Details can be found here), I wanted to tackle my previous entries for the Boston Spaceships before covering the final two albums that I have yet to cover. In my original review I noted how exciting this was for GBV fans since this could have been the start of a new flagship band for Robert Pollard. We now know that this wouldn't be the case as Boston Spaceships would eventually bow out after five amazing records and the Guided By Voices name (and members) would eventually come back. That being said, Boston Spaceships is without a doubt the best ever side-project of Pollard's and it all started out with the wonderful Brown Submarine...
In my previous post on this album, 13 of the album's 14 songs made the playlist. Nothing here ranked "Among Bob's Best" and Go For the Exit was promoted to "Gems" at the last moment after a few re-listens. That being said, this is still a solid album. Here is the updated ranking:
Among Bob's Best
-- none
Gems
14 - Go For The Exit
Almost Gems
01 Winston's Atomic Bird
07 Zero Fix
09 Andy Playboy
They're Good
02 Brown Submarine
03 You Satisfy Me
04 Ate It Twice
05 Two Girl Area
06 North 11 A.M.
11 Soggy Beavers
11 Soggy Beavers
12 Ready To Pop
They're OK
08 Psych Threat
10 Rat Trap
Could Live Without
13 Still In Rome
Toss-Offs & Throwaways
-- none
Given the scoring above, the album would get 43 points total (and an average of 3.07).
