Pitchfork vs. Guided by Voices
"Is it just us, or does the newly revealed cover for Guided by Voices' Universal Truths and Cycles bear a discomforting resemblance to the video sleeve for Penthouse publisher Bob Guccione's arty 1979 soft-porn historical effort, Caligula?"





"While we're certain the content of GBV's return to chunky mid-fi guitar anthems has little to do with orgiastic Romans in polyester togas with feathered hair, take another gander at that cover-- the faux-marble finish, the belabored Photoshop 'chisel' effect on the words 'GVIDED BY VOICES', and the cheesy relief coin in frame center?"
