Comments on: Neutral Milk Hotel – “In The Aeroplane Over The Sea” http://www.buddyhead.com/neutral-milk-hotel-in-the-aeroplane-over-the-sea/ Bumming Nerds Out And Keeping Rock N' Roll Alive Since 1997 Tue, 07 Sep 2010 19:34:19 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Brique http://www.buddyhead.com/neutral-milk-hotel-in-the-aeroplane-over-the-sea/#comment-14904 Brique Thu, 17 Dec 2009 02:13:09 +0000 http://www.buddyhead.com/?p=12287#comment-14904 "You know that awkward, quirky neighbour that looks like Michael Cera in Juno and walks around with ... his *****Lomo Camera***** taking pictures of the flight of plastic bags in the wind and listening to a *****Johnny Hobo***** basement recording?" Yes, me? I'm listening. "If you ever thought that short film you made with the poster made out of newspaper cut-outs and pen drawings of the characters was interesting," Well it wasn't! :[ I was with you for all the "lolwutdafuck" impression you had. I'm a dumb person too. I'll never understand wutdafuck it all really means, but I'd try to say something besides lolwutdafuck. Nowadays folkies definitely walk a thin line, sometimes leaning a little badly into the "hipster" side. But sorry, Hipsters are wary of anything as confusingly honest as Neutral Milk Hotel. If this album were cynically ironic instead, then they'd flock to it harder than they currently do. There's a fundamental difference! This was more of a track-by-track analysis on it being "weird". I'd say the album is harsh and lush at the same time, and you're right; it's worth anyone's time, but whether or not they even know wutdafuck they just heard is entirely up to them. I do like that you reviewed it this late. Gives a nice look into what the album did to record geeks that survived the 11 years after its release. “You know that awkward, quirky neighbour that looks like Michael Cera in Juno and walks around with … his *****Lomo Camera***** taking pictures of the flight of plastic bags in the wind and listening to a *****Johnny Hobo***** basement recording?” Yes, me?

Now that's some good shit talk! Classic. And being somewhat of a connoisseur of fine shit talk myself and having just discovered this site (in the past 20 minutes), I really have to thank you for breaking this album (among other things) down in terms I can truly understand. Because although this album is widely regarded as a classic by the "in" crowd, I have only had it recommended to me by pompous twit bags. So i steered clear of it for all these years, in fear of making the same grave mistake as i did in that record store all those years ago, armed with ten dollars and a recently recommended SLINT album (OH THE HORROR!!!!) Plus I don't see why more critics don't review albums from the past. Who gives a fuck i we already have our own opinions of these albums, or if the reviewer is just now hearing it for the first time (OMG Buddyheadiz soooo 2000 and late). But I get what he's saying and FINALLY feel compelled to check out this ethnic instrument hipster orgy. Thanks Wow!

Any amount of research, no matter how small, would have shown that NMH isn't a hipster band at all, nor were they trying to start what is the current hipster trend. They were just dudes making music and it fell together as Aeroplane. Um, this review would have been nice if it was done 10 years earlier and without the hipster aspect in it.
