    Pollard’s sheer output is intimidating. However, as this album proves, his quality control may be as good as anyone’s in the business.

    Pollard's songcraft remains intact regardless of presentation. [No. 130, p.61]

    Under Mitchell’s helm, the 12-song Of Course You Are is a succinct reminder of Pollard’s lyrical penmanship.

    Taking risks and expanding your musical palate is the only way to avoid stagnation. And while Of Course You Are may do so with only modest success, it’s a success nonetheless.

    On his 24th solo album, the Guided By Voices man shows he still knows how to cobble together a sturdy, well-constructed song. [Apr 2016, p.78]

    While Mitchell has his stamp on both this album and the Ricked Wicky material, Of Course You Are is also one of the most musically ambitious albums Pollard has released under his various monikers in quite some time.

    Much of it, admittedly, treads familiar, fanbase-appeasing ground, though the beautifully-crafted, Jeff Lynne-esque Losing It has broader mainstream potential and even the uninitiated are advised to heed the title of the atypically graceful, string-kissed Come And Listen.
