Music reviews of In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
Music Review: MP3 Pricing
Rating: 5 Stars
Great album, yada yada yada.
Just a comment for all your folks thinking of buying the MP3 album (and since it's ranked like #670 then that would be a bunch of you).
Buy the album: 9.99
Buy ALL the individuals songs: 9.89
What? you say. That can't be right!
Do the math: 10 songs at .89 and 1 song at .99 = 9.89
I used to LOVE amazon, but they've been doing some sketchy things recently.
And so ends this public service announcement.
(And hopefully someone in Amazon will *notice* and change the pricing. But, of course, knowing what Amazon is doing nowadays, the individual song prices will go up.)
Description of In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
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 SilverLed by Jeff Magnum, In the Aeroplane over the Sea finds the Neutral Milk Hotel assemblage loosely performing a series of narratives backed by folksy acoustic guitar. But from that springboard, a quiver of instruments (horns, organs, accordions, saws, banjo, zanzithophone, etc.) are layered into a sometimes rootsy, sometimes lo-fi, and often psychedelic mix. Contrary to most pop experimentalists, NMH songs stretch way past the two-minute mark: "Two Headed Boy" transforms from a Guided by Voices-ish romp into a New Orleans big band funeral march, "The Fool" is as catchy as anything Poi Dog Pondering ever produced, and "Holland" builds up to a crescendo of saw, Uillean pipes, a chorus of voices, and fuzzed-out guitar. Simply irresistible. --Jason Verlinde
