Neutral Milk Hotel In the Aeroplane Over the Sea Artist Home Page Buy it @ Amazon.com

Label: Merge/Touch & Go Released: 5/5/1998

Forget all those other cd's I've told you about. Neutral Milk Hotel's "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" is the best album I've bought this year, which is good because maybe now I can stop spending all my money on music.

I'd never heard of them before and was afraid they might be some clever Phish type band, full of good musicians with nice personalities. But instead I found small songs with interesting instrumentation, (guitar, bass, drums, horns) and pleasant melodies. Neutral Milk Hotel ROCKS even when there's only an acoustic guitar and vocal. Oh yeah and they sing about semen, a lot.
