This came out in 2003 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
No, you aren’t imagining things. It really has been mere weeks since Dayton indie-rock gods Guided By Voices put out their latest CD Earthquake Glue.
But this latest offering isn’t what you think — even GBV’s insanely prolific mastermind Robert Pollard doesn’t generally churn out new album quite this fast. Get Out of My Stations is actually a reissue of a rare vinyl EP from 1994, the year they issued their undisputed masterpiece Bee Thousand. Most of the seven lo-fi studio cuts here are cut from a more experimental cloth, eschewing the usual fist-pumping British Invasion anthems for darker vibes, noisier production and quirkier arrangements. Still, if you’re a fan, it’s an essential purchase. And the live bonus cuts of classis like Motor Away, Hot Freaks and Postal Blowfish just make it all the more appealing. But if you miss out, don’t sweat — you won’t have to wait long for the next new GBV album.
