Mirrored Aztec (2020)

"Go big or go home feels like the unwritten motto on the newest Guided By Voices album Mirrored Aztec. On their second record release of 2020, GBV looks to hit every one of these eighteen tracks out of the rock n’ roll park! For fans, that means big riffs, big hooks and plenty of memorable moments. From opening song, “I Think I Had It. I Think I Have It Again,” Robert Pollard and his talented band mates of Bobby Bare Jr., Doug Gillard, Mark Shue and Kevin March bring this stadium feeling right to you in your living room as you raise a fist to the call outs of “I think I had it!” I will say that it did take multiple spins of Mirrored Aztec to arrive at that above conclusion because there are some tracks that do restrain it a bit with their sequencing but overall with every listen, the hooks hold tighter and ultimately win you over."
