In the Aeroplane Over the Sea

by: Neutral Milk Hotel

Release Date September 05, 2005
Every review I have ever read says this album is brilliant. I, however, think it is a load of crap. I honestly fail to see the genius of mediocre lyrics, sung by a singer who can't carry a tune, set to cacophony instead of music.
I have read all the reviews over a couple of times, and I disagree with everything I am reading. This album is just awful, and totally uninspired.

On Avery Island

by: Neutral Milk Hotel

Release Date November 12, 2007
As a result of the expansive greatness of the second Neutral Milk Hotel album, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, which recounts the life of Anne Frank against a kaleidoscopic backdrop of bizarre characters and heartfelt (yet childlike) imagery in a way that is both interesting (in a conceptual sense) and emotionally effecting, On Avery Island will always be somewhat disregarded as the clumsier, less expansive footnote, that simply worked as a necessary building block to Mangum's grand opus. Although some of these factors are true, On Avery Island remains a fascinating album in it's own right, once again blurring a fragmented and fractured narrative against a musical backdrop of fuzzy bass lines, clamouring drums, electronic noise, acoustic guitars (run ...

Everything Is

by: Neutral Milk Hotel

Release Date September 10, 2007
Buzzing, staticky voices open the "Everything Is" EP, followed by a staticky, buzzing drum solo. Neutral Milk Hotel is in fine form here, with frontman Jeff Mangum providing his usual hallucinatory innocence to the offbeat songs and catchy, fuzzy music.

The "Everything Is" single is a solid, swirling song with a weird spoken intro. It's also insanely catchy by Neutral Milk Hotel's standards, enough to make you bounce in your seat. A slower, rippling song follows in "Snow Song Pt. 1" and the bouncy, unexceptional "Tuesday Night." Perhaps strangest and most striking is the eerie "Aunt Eggma Blowtorch" is basically an experimental collage of music and recorded sounds.

Neutral Milk Hotel is ... Read More:
