  This is one of the late-period GBV records where the polish actually works in the band’s favor. “Everywhere with Helicopter,” “Cheyenne,” and “Back to the Lake” still have Robert Pollard’s surreal melodic instincts, but the fuller production gives the songs extra weight. The album sounds like a veteran band rediscovering momentum instead of coasting on mythology.
