What a misleading album title. There is no "symphony of voices" on Guff's third full-length record. Instead, four snotty punk rockers who've all changed their last names to Guff plow through 13 amped-up, noisy garage-fueled songs in less than 40 minutes. It's all rather melodic, but it's also dull. And besides, you've heard it all before.
Worth noting, however, is that Steve Perry — yes, that Steve Perry — showed up at the Los Angeles studio where Guff was recording Symphony of Voices one day to visit a friend. After hearing some of the songs that would eventually land on this disc, Perry inexplicably asked Guff to record an unreleased Journey song he had written with Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain. The result is "I Can See It In Your Eyes," which sounds like Green Day covering Journey, and it's the best song on the album. Go figure.
