It is more than likely that nobody will read this but what the hell. If life was fair & the majority of the population gave just a small hoot about listening to that which could give them great pleasure I would have no need to do this. As it is, most people seem happy to listen to mediocre mainstream fodder. Well I think in a world of true justice a song such as 'Tabby and Lucy' would be top of any chart for a long time but it's not just this masterpiece that stands out here because 'Let It Beard', 'Chevy Marigold' & 'Make a Record for Lo-Life' really rock. I have many albums by Robert Pollard, GBV, Circus Devils etc. & this ranks highly amongst them.

The Boston Spaceships!

I'm a fanatical listener of Pollard projects, I admit, but when judging his work, I try to be realistic. I believe this to be his fifth album this year under one banner or another. There have been twenty-some albums since his best-known band officially called it quits in 2005 or so. I've probably heard 90% of the post-GBV output. So, while I'm reluctant to say it, because it will sound unbelievable, but here goes: this is his best album of this period and probably among the top five of his career. It might sound like I'm only excited to have something new, but I promise I haven't said that about any other of his albums. I've been excited about other releases, like From a Compound Eye, ...Off to Business, the first Boston Spaceships, and a couple others, but this really is a notch or two above what has been for the most part a solid career on RP's part. And just to be clear, GBV is ancient history at this point. Many will call this his best since GBV, but this isn't meant to imply it sounds as such. His sound has evolved subtly, and Let It Beard reflects this well and continues RP's evolution in new ways.

But more specifically: This album is *strong*, from start to finish. Like Exile On Main Street or Quadrophenia, there aren't that many tracks that you'd pick out for a greatest hits comp (while 'Tabby and Lucy' might be a good start), but it blows through such a variety of styles and moods with such energy that even at 80 min, it doesn't sound that long. I think it helps to be acquainted with Pollard's general aesthetic to begin with, as it's really quite different from regular 'indie'. It's very unpretentious and ego-free, in that he never sings about himself or emote self-indulgently. More importantly, it's a collage-style of music, drawing vaguely from all over recent music history, from power-pop to classic rock to prog and 60's garage. Let It Beard has got it all, but unlike the 'tinkering around' feeling you sometimes get from his records, on this one the Boston Spaceships seem to know exactly what they want-- all three of them, not just RP. Let It Beard might be the loudest B.S. release, and while less experimental than Circus Devils, Lifeguards, et al, it's exceedingly confident, and the Who's influence is particularly evident. So there's my shameless, gushing review. Keep in mind it might take a few spins to get into, but I hope you enjoy it...

Songwriting growth!

I have almost every Bob Pollard recording in existence. The last year or two I met each new release
with less anticipation: they are good recordings; good Pollard songs (as only he can pull it off), good productions and he keeps his
quirky songwriting spirt alive...but..I don't know--maybe no surprises. But THIS ONE, "Let It Beard" is exciting for me---mainly because I HEAR MUSICAL AND LYRICAL GROWTH!
I also love the way he sounds with this band and guest musicians. I'm addicted to listening to "Let It Beard" from start to finish.
I like the journey, the arc of the songs (the running order) of this epic CD. I'm thrilled I bought it and very grateful
it is in my collection. Right now, my fav fab Pollard recording!

A Must Have Record

2017年6月11日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

This is Robert Pollard in one of his finest moments with his other great band, The Boston Spaceships This one took quite a few listens for some songs to catch on however other are immediate e.g.Make a Record for Liw Life, Chevy, Marigold Tourist UFO. Some great guest appearances on guitar. solos, from Jay Mascis Dinosaur JR Mitch Michell GBV the guy from Wire. First time that Bob hired a female back singer. There are only a few forgettable moments. Any Robert Pollard fan or just a fan of rock music needs to order this record.

Very long and very boring. I love Robert Pollard but this is awful.
