  Let It Beard serves as the final Boston Spaceships album. Rather than sounding like a band winding down, it captures Pollard, Chris Slusarenko, and John Moen at full strength, balancing muscular rock songs with some of the most memorable melodies of the project's run. The album benefits from a sense of purpose and cohesion that many Pollard releases intentionally avoid, making it feel unusually complete. Songs like "Tourist UFO" showcase the band's knack for combining immediacy with subtle emotional weight. There's a celebratory quality running through the record, as if the group understands it has achieved something special. As a farewell, Let It Beard is both triumphant and surprisingly poignant, closing the Boston Spaceships catalog on a remarkably high note.
