After a couple more listens, I couldn't believe I wasn't pulled into the awesome rock melodies and the brilliant lyrics from the beginning. The lo-finess could be due to hanging around with four-track geniuses and fellow Daytonians Guided by Voices. In fact, one of Pacer's standout tracks, "I Am Decided," was co-written with Robert Pollard. Kim Deal set out to record a different kind of record and came out with one that's so terrific, it won't leave my discman for at least three days. Well, that's kind of a long time, I guess.
