How Robert Pollard continues to still write such memorable guitar riffs is beyond me, but here we are with “Crash At Lake Placebo,” with once again a super hooky main guitar riff. This song features an extended instrumental section, which seems a bit rare in Pollard’s songs but works very well here. And when you get down to it, the song is under three minutes long, so it’s not even a very lengthy extended instrumental section, is it?
