I think it's my favorite of the early stuff before Propeller. Although it might not be up to par with the later albums, like most Guided by Voices material, it has moments that reward the patient listener. It's amazing to think Robert Pollard was already this good back in 1987 when he was still an amateur just starting to figure out how to make albums, and his own identity as a songwriter. I had already heard Captain's Dead and Hey Hey, Spaceman off YouTube, but I really like The Tumblers, too, enough to wish that it could be part of a live set of rarities. Perhaps in an alternate universe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19872823.post-59999312346102669932020-06-07T11:33:16.830-07:002020-06-07T11:33:16.830-07:00I've been giving careful listens to the 5 Bost...I've been giving careful listens to the 5 Boston Spaceships albums this past week.
