Not best album of the year, but something I didn&#8217;t think I would enjoy so much.  I&#8217;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&#8217;s good ol&#8217; 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 &#8220;Keep Me Down&#8221; is so good I&#8217;ve considered skating to it for my Off The Couch part if somehow I decided to not use a Dinosaur Jr song (impossible).<strong>Rating:<\/strong> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/star.png\" alt=\"&#9733;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/star.png\" alt=\"&#9733;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/star.png\" alt=\"&#9733;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/star.png\" alt=\"&#9733;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/star.png\" alt=\"&#9733;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/star.png\" alt=\"&#9733;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/star.png\" alt=\"&#9733;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/star.png\" alt=\"&#9733;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/blankstar.png\" alt=\"&#9734;\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/plugins\/star-rating-for-reviews\/images\/blankstar.png\" alt=\"&#9734;\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bostonspaceships.com\/\">bostonspaceships.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This album is the surprise album of the year for me so far.
