Title: A four-track player + pure genius
Product review: Neutral Milk Hotel is a band for people who like music with a soul and a lot of guts - just the way music should be. The exact opposite of those awful techno and pop sounds that are polluting the airwaves out there. This album picks you up and shakes you down, leaving you naked and hopeless in a few minutes. The lyrics are just the best since Michael Stipe in his prime. Jeff Mangum is a poet and full-blown musician. NMH's second album (In the Aeroplane Over the Sea) is just as good (if not better) and more well-crafted than this one. But both of them are a must for anyone who enjoys the far-from-dead rock n' roll (with a twist). It's a sound so strong that caught me over here in Brazil. Also try Olivia Tremor Control, Pavement, Guided By Voices and, the father of all, R.E.M.
