Half Smiles of the Decomposed is the fifteenth album by Dayton, Ohio rock group Guided by Voices. It was the final album by the band before their 2010 reformation. Pollard said, "It got to the point with this album that I’d come to a pinnacle in the way I wanted to make a record with Guided By Voices and I really didn’t know what direction to take it in after that. So for me it really did feel like the last album."
