61.Guided by voices - Hold on hope (2000)
This album was my introduction to GBV and i luved it.
This one of the better produced GBV albums but it's very short it only has 9 songs most of them fairly short but they're all good in their own way.
The album has a great 1st track 'underground initiations' which does a good job in setting the mood for the rest of the cd and once you hear that first track you know what the rest of the album is gonna sound like.
this album made GBV lo-fi sound into a polished alternative album the best exmpl of this is the song 'Hold on hope' a song that was just made to be a radio hit.
Overall the album is pretty solid and i would recommend it to any indie rock / alternative fan.
