this album is almost completely written and performed by robert pollard and tobin sprout who later went on to form airport 5. surprisingly, this album sounds exactly like the two airport 5 albums released in the early 00's. the catchy fake-british power of pollard's vocal melodies is nothing short of astounding. how he manages to hide secret catchy parts inside of minute-long halfsongs is a mystery best left for expert detectives like sherlock holmes or maybe his great-grand niece shirley.

GUIDED BY VOICES - ALIEN LANES (1995 MATADOR)
a perfect album from start to finish. even the "weird" songs are catchy as hell. really awesome hooks and the songs transition into each other so well. one of the best rock n roll albums by one of the best rock n roll bands.
