Album Review – Boston Spaceships – The Planets Are Blasted

This album is the surprise album of the year for me so far. Not best album of the year, but something I didn’t think I would enjoy so much. I’ve always somewhat enjoyed Guided By Voices and I thought their best of compilation was awesome. But this new album by Boston Spaceships might be my favorite thing Robert Pollard has done. It’s good ol’ indie rock done proper along the same lines as Guided By Voices. The drumming seems better then GBV though and the songs seem more consistent. The song “Keep Me Down” is so good I’ve considered skating to it for my Off The Couch part if somehow I decided to not use a Dinosaur Jr song (impossible).Rating: ★★★★★★★★☆☆bostonspaceships.com
