PRAISE FOR GUIDED BY VOICES’ NOWHERE TO GO BUT UP (2023)
#1 Album Of The Year
– MAGNET Magazine
“The album is an unabashed, bombastic and unapologetic statement of purpose from one of America’s greatest living songwriters.”
– Paste Magazine – Album of the Week
“Unrepentantly full of hooks, and immediately hummable, is a sure testament to his songwriterly powers.” **** 4 star
– Shindig Magazine
“With Nowhere To Go But Up, Guided By Voices pull off their 2023 LP hat trick. The album title succinctly sums up the band’s trajectory. Here’s to another fruitful decade of GBV.”
– Uproxx
“GBV’s hot streak continues with one of their best albums in ages.” ALBUM OF THE WEEK #1
– Brooklyn Vegan
“His wonderful songs are getting the treatment that they deserve and his band sounds just great.” 8.5/10
– Northern Transmissions
“The element that sets the album apart from other 2020s GBV output isn’t the songwriting as much as the sound they achieve; a nearly slaphappy implementation of the studio to make Pollard’s oddball musings and occasional heart-rending turns of phrase bigger than ever.”
– AllMusic
“Always great, and frequently exceptional, they remind us as we stare down the end of another year that they are one of the best we have, and thankfully we’re unlikely to have to wait too long until the next installment.”
– Stereoboard
“Nowhere to Go but Up ultimately shows Guided by Voices holding a torch for no-frills indie rock with no punches pulled […] every infectious melody and swinging riff they can manage still works even after 40 years of changing the very DNA of indie rock music.”
– FLOOD Magazine
“Heavy guitar riffs line the heartfelt vocals for 11 tracks of pure rock bliss as the prolific band shows no signs of slowing down. ‘We’re Going The Wrong Way In’ is an early favorite with soaring vocals and crunchy textures for every guitar riff enthusiast.”
– Glide Magazine
“Light on choruses, heavy on muscular riffs & stuffed with shapeshifting cuts dusted with bells, horns and more sonic weirdness, GBV’s 39th LP keeps you on your toes.”
– Tinnitist
“GBV arrive with a renewed energy on Nowhere to Go but Up, with no frills, no disappointment and consistent songwriting.”
