Summary: Whoooaaa!
Comment: Hey World,
Guess I'm the minority here, possibly out of my element? Just cant stand his over pushed voice and the repetative strums. Lastly, and most important his sick demented lyrics about little boys! Who would back this album??? This songwritter is truly a sick man who needs help. Shame on all the reviewers who cant spend time to scratch the surface. Sad sad sad sad!!!

Summary: The vocals.... oh, those vocals
Comment: This review is really just repeating what others have already said... but I felt it was good to reiterate on the flaws of this album.
I wanted to give three stars but the vocals just bring this album waaayyyyy down and mess it all up. On one side, this is a VERY good album. I love the acoustic structure and all the neat sounds in the music but the lead singer is just annoyingly terrible! For the first song, I was saying "okay, it's rough around the edges but I like it" but by the middle of the CD, he was still singing in that whinying, monotone and had me saying "just shut the #*%@ up, man!". His voice is just unbarable.
If he could just sing in a couple different ways of if he would just not sing at all, it would even out but I think the lead singer just took an album that had very good potential and just made it unlistenable. Still... I will keep this album on my ipod

Summary: The Only perfect piece of art ever created in the history of the world!
Comment: Yes, it's that good. There isn't a note, a beat, a breath out of place. If you don't get, you just don't get it.

Summary: Cohesive and synergistic
Comment: I'm glad to see the revival this album has had over the last few years. I don't know why it happened but I'm glad it happened. I caught these guy live opening for Superchunk back in the late 90's and I thought they were good but I was there to see Superchunk and didn't appreciate what I had seen for quite awhile. They had just released this album so I bought it at the show but I basically just took "Ghost" and "Holland, 1945" and put them on a mix tape for my car. A while later I happened to listen to the whole album without distraction and that's when it clicked. For me the album's power and longevity lies in the idea that it is one of those albums where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. I recommend this to anybody who will listen but always warn them to set the time to listen to it straight through a few times.

Summary: Hidden Treasure
Comment: I heard this by pure luck in a record store and was instantly captivated. By the fourth song I had to have it. Wacky whimsical lyrics, great tight beats, short but oh so sweet, big thumbs up.

Just from the opening seconds of Neutral Milk Hotel's second album, you know it's going to be special: the acoustic guitar strum is catchy beyond belief, and Jeff Magnum's intonation lends credibility even to a line like "When you were young, you were the King of Carrot Flowers." Listening to In the Aeroplane is like stepping through Alice's looking glass; you enter a fantastic new universe that, while it doesn't always make sense logically, feels like the home you never had. --Randy Silver
