Guided By Voices - Corpse Like Sleep of Stupidity (1992)

The second of GBV's aborted releases from 1992, The Corpse Like Sleep of Stupidity represents sort of a weird middle ground between Back to Saturn X and the album that would eventually be released from this era, 1992's Propeller. Where Propeller had a rather deliberate sequencing of big studio rock songs that gradually shifted over to lo-fi 4-track numbers as the album progressed, this album tends to jump back and forth which lends itself to a very scattered listening experience. Despite this the album somehow still manages to maintain a sense of continuity, which is not surprising knowing Bob's knack for sequencing albums. Many songs on this release have not been released officially, and many versions of songs are different than their later released counter parts.
