My experience every GBV record is pretty much the same. I'll listen to one I haven't heard before and say "well, this is ok, but it's no where near as good as 'x record' (x being the previous one I listened to). So when I first heard Alien Lanes I thought 'eh, it's fine, but no where near as good as Bee Thousand.'
And then after around listen five or six it just hits me 'man, this album is a fucking jam!'. That happened with all of the early ones, Vampire on Titus, Propeller, Sandbox, Same Place The Fly Got Smashed, etc. Hasn't really hit me with the new ones yet, though I like Isolation Drills quite a bit.
