New album is cool, even better than the other album out earlier this year, though Bunco Men is the best track by some distance, and is obviously a vintage Pollard composition

it's a bit sad that he's probably better off revamping old barely-heard outtakes than writing new stuff

the rest of the album is strong too. I'm guessing Bob just got a whim to bring it to a larger audience, or someone in his current band felt they should have a crack at it. Though I kind of think trying to second-guess the reasons behind Bob's creative decisions is a fool's game.

Seems like Bob's been allowing himself at most one reworked Suitcase track per album the last few years. Sweating the Plague had "Your Cricket Is Rather Unique," Space Gun had "That's Good," and August by Cake had "Dr. Feelgood Falls Off the Ocean" (formerly "Something For Susan In The Shadows").

jesus man. the pace of these albums is exhausting.
― sctttnnnt (pgwp), Friday, 16 October 2020 18:46 (three years ago) link
Maybe it's just because I've long been a Pollard follower, but it doesn't feel any more exhausting than usual. It's just all centered around GbV instead of also being spread out among solo albums and side projects. I mean, it was 3 GbV records in 2020 and 3 in 2019. In, say, 2015 he released 3 Ricked Wicky records, a solo record and a Circus Devils record.

Just checked out Legendary Pink Dots/Edward Ka-Spel and Acid Mothers Temple's recent discography. Some things never change, they'll still be making 5 albums a year after everyone is dead.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Friday, 16 October 2020 19:45 (three years ago) link
With AMT it's really who they collaborate with that points toward whether a record will be good or not. The Acid Guru Pond album they did with Bardo Pond a few years back is pretty nice...some of their other stuff, well y'know.

"somewhat ashamed" and "these days i get more" both decent gbv track titles. also, i assume this is exactly how pollard comes up with his.

Easy for me to separate art from artist here tbh... as disappointing as it is not surprised given his facebook activity in the Obama days. He has since cleaned up that public profile.
― Evan, Friday, 15 January 2021 16:52 (three years ago) link
i do think his art rises above the "this is by a guy in a band i like" gimmicky aspect
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 15 January 2021 17:24 (three years ago) link
Yeah and it also generally rises above rich-suburb-art-walk type of stuff too imo. He has great taste as applied to art but it's too bad he has poor taste otherwise. He was also very nice the few times I've corresponded with him. For people with discrepancies like this especially I feel like they're victims of a cult and have been poisoned.

The idea was to make kind of a Human Amusements vol. 2, so there are a few songs from Half Smiles of the Decomposed on here since that album wasn't covered on Human Amusements.
