- I just learned that this album is apparently a classic and put it on rotation for a few days. Bottom line, I don't get it. I guess you have to be someone who really cares about lyrics, ideally a native speaker, and better yet US American of a certain age. Don't get me wrong, I understand why many people would appreciate, like or even love this album.
To give you some context, I was a 12 year old kid in Germany when "Guyville" came out. I was just learning to count and to say hello in English. While I had already fallen in love with music, which was predominantly English at the time, whatever people were singing was just sound to me. I just didn't get the lyrics back then and even though I do now, they are still secondary to me. If the music alone doesn't convince me, the lyrics won't. either.
So let's pretend for a minute that Liz Phair was singing in a foreign language. What's left? The vocals are clearly the center of attention, the rest is pretty generic folky bluesy rock accompaniment. I will say that there are some pretty decent vocal melodies and harmonies on the record. The vocal performance and production are good, but not impressive. The guitar work is pretty generic and, personally, I find the ubiquitous use of hard panning and spring reverb borderline obnoxious. The bass and drums parts are even more basic and I'm not a fan of the tinny garage drum sound. When the bass does stick out, I would personnally want to turn it down a notch.
Again, I get why Exile in Guyville is so revered, but ignoring the lyrics and cultural context, I just don't think it's all that special. Sorry. And while I'm making friends, I don't really get much of Bob Dylan's entire catalogue, either, pretty much for the same reasons. ;-) referencing Exile In Guyville (2×LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Purple, 30th Anniversary) OLE1114LP
wonderful list - there's a lot of space on this record so I was a bit concerned to see what the pressing quality would be. Really enjoying the treatment of this classic!- so many sellers accidentally listing the purple vinyl in the Spotify Fans Splatter submission. Buyers beware. Ive bought 3 copies now, all showed up purple, they must have the same barcode. Ask for confirm before buy

Once again... why no picture of the disc? I don't get it.referencing Exile In Guyville (2×LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Purple, 30th Anniversary) OLE1114LP
Mine is flat and centered. Needed a cleaning before playing but sounds nice. The remaster may be a little heavier on the bottom end but sounds good to my ears. I can’t compare this to any other vinyl versions but I’m well pleased.- What a great pressing! I’ve had an OG USA copy and the Box Set and they’ve been ok. This one is silent, flat and is quite good. Plus the splatter looks way better than the mock up pics let on. A pleasant surprise there too. It’s by no means audiophile or perfect, it’s a matador record and they’re generally average or below average, this one is above average for them. Very very good.

Sides B and D both incredibly dished on my copy :( album deserves better presentation as well. Super thin jacket for a double vinyl. The ATO rerelease remains the best presentation of this classic in my opinion- My MPO pressing is quiet and flat, just how I like em! Excellent mastering…could use a hair more bass, but that may be the source in the chain.
