Title: .... One Of THOSE Albums
Product review: If you can't already tell from reading these reviews, people have very strong opinions about this record. Neutral Milk Hotel have created a work - to me, a piece of art - without the high production quality and targeted marketing of so many hot new bands' "classic" albums. No, this album's appeal lies in the sweet earnesty of the lead singer's yelping and wailing. It lies in an eclectic mix of rock, punk, Syd Barrett, and a streetwalking brass band. It lies in a surreal story involving Anne Frank and childhood trama.Every band has strengths and weaknesses. NMH might not appeal to you, and this album may be too fanciful or raw. But, I would take the chance. The feeling that "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea" gives me is something like pure joy.
