An in-depth analysis of the most infamous lo-fi album of the '90s. For many Guided By Voices fans, "Bee Thousand" is the holy grail -- the album on which the band's singular talents get into something approaching rock 'n' roll perfection. In this book, Marc Woodworth -- with help from Robert Pollard, Tobin Sprout, and several other band members -- covers the album’s long and unorthodox period of writing, recording, sequencing, and editing, and examines and celebrates what makes this record so special, so unlikely, and so enduring. Part of Continuum's "33 1/3" series of short books about specific albums of the last 40 years.
