Neutral Milk Hotel

[c0micb0y]

I can't believe how many years I'd overlooked this band. I stumbled across them in my sister's shared music folder. My mind has been so completetly blown by the shear magnitude of Jeff Mangum's works. The last time I felt this affected my music was mg or the catherine wheel. Maybe the watchmen.

Anyone?

I was thinking about making a thread about Neutral Milk Hotel, but I figured no one would read it anyways.

 

Anyways, they're ok, "Two-Headed Boy Part 2" is a song I can listen to over and over again.

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is one of the best records of the 90s. His first record has a few of his best songs, but it's not nearly as good, overall.

i feel its one of the most over rated albums of all time.

 

i bought it, and seriously thought the wrong album had been placed in the jewel case at the pressing plant.

 

what a terrible album.

Wow. I guess it depends on what you're looking for. I respect the intense focus, the sense of urgency, especially in the quieter songs. I found it to be quite cathartic... it's definitely affected the way i'll attempt to write music in future, and allowed for fresh perspective on what i've done in the past.

Never heard of them.... how bad are they, in honesty.
