It's not them - it couldn't be them - it is them

"Though some fans will always long for the Guided by Voices glory days of 1994 (Bee Thousand) to 2004 (Half Smiles of the Decomposed), since 2017 Pollard has been leading a band that's a better vehicle for his music in nearly every way, and "It's Not Them..." is superior work from a great rock band. If this is going to be typical from this point on, we're all pretty fortunate".

"Guided by Voices deliver a stunning, large-hearted collection of power-pop and off-the-wall oddities laced with beautiful strings and horns throughout".

"Jeg gad godt vide, hvor mange mennesker på denne Jord, der har hørt alt, hvad Guided By Voices har udgivet - et rockband, der burde stå som et af nyere tids mest legendariske ... Alene materialet, man skal grave sig igennem, er svimlende stort. Bare de seneste par år har bandet udgivet tre album om året, Robert Pollard er registreret for mere end 2.400 sange. Den ene fans yndlingssange har den anden fan aldrig hørt ... Men nu er der så landet endnu et album med titlen 'It's Not Them. It Couldn't Be Them. It Is Them', der virker mere arrangeret, overrasker med stryger- og hornarrangementer og spansk guitar ... Men man må også indrømme, at Guided By Voices nok også har deres bedste dage bag sig".
