In The Aeroplane Over The Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel

'In The Aeroplane Over The Sea', a late 90's album inspired by Anne Frank's 'Diary of a Young Girl, is simply the most surreal, most poignant, most brilliant album you are ever likely to hear. As a regular visitor of Pitchforkmedia.com, I only recently stumbled across this record by a band ... Read review

loosely performing a series of narratives backed
by folksy acoustic guitar. But from that
springboard, a quiver of instruments (horns,

Neutral Milk Hotel In the Aeroplane Over the Sea

Of all the recordings to emerge from the Athens-via-Denver collective called "Elephant 6" ... more

Neutral Milk Hotel's second album is the one that
has worked its way under the most skins. "Magnet"
magazine named it the best album of the 1990s  and
"Creative Loafing" recently devoted a cover story
to one fan's quest to understand why bandleader
Jeff Mangum dropped out of sight soon after
"Aeroplane's" release. The record sells steadily
to an audience that finds it through word of
mouth. Weird  beautiful  absorbing  difficult  "In
The Aeroplane Over the Sea" is a surrealist text
loosely based on the life  suffering and
reincarnation of Anne Frank  with guest
appearances from a pair of Siamese twins menaced
by the cold and carnivores  a two-headed boy
bobbing in a jar  anthropomorphic vegetables and a
variety of immature erotic horrors. Mangum sings
his dreamlike narratives with a dreamer's
intensity  his creaky  off key voice occasionally
breaking as he struggles to complete each dense
couplet. The music is like nothing else in the 90s
Indie Underground a psychedelic brass band  its
members self-taught  forging polychromatic washes
of mood and tribute.The songs stick to one narrow
key  the images repeat and circle back  and to
listen is to be absorbed into a singular 
heart-rending vision.

1-4 of 4 reviews of In The Aeroplane Over The Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel

Intimate, Disorientating, Beautiful.

Advantages: There are too many to list, this is as good as it gets.
Disadvantages: It was Neutral Milk Hotel's last recording.

...track, with its joyous lyrics in the face of human mortality 'When we meet on a cloud / I'll be laughing out loud', 'In The Aeroplane Over The Sea' is an utterly brilliant work of art, lyrically sublime.

Other highlights include the melancholic instrumental track 'The Fool' and 8 minute lament 'Oh Comely', with its heartbreaking lyrics ("I know they buried her body with others / her sister and mother and 500 families / will she ...
...save her in some sort of time machine) a reference to Anne Frank's death and how death is not the end, a theme that is intrisic to the album, as fragments and images of the holocaust are embedded throughout the 45 minutes.

'In The Aeroplane Over The Sea' is better than I could ever have hoped, it is an album that I will dive into again and again. As said by another reviewer on a different site 'If I won the lottery I would post this ... more

Quite possibly the finest album of the 90's...

Advantages: Incredibly moving, truly beautiful in both lyrics and texture.
Disadvantages: Could be difficult to get into, not going to be a family favourite.

...songs are musically plain, folk-like in their simplicity. The lyrics are surreal, but touching. The sound is fuzzy and unkempt, with drums and acoustic guitar fleshed out by bass, trumpet and 'musical saw'. But the most outstanding element of this album is the voice. Jeff Mangum has a style that ties these elements together and turns it into a deeply resonant experience. From the opener "King Of Carrot Flowers, Pt. 1", it becomes obvious that this ...
...tumbling through the trees / In holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet", and he means it! In any other hands this might seem pretentious, but believe me, it works, spectacularly. From there it only gets better - from the unstoppable rolling thunder of "Holland, 1945" to the eight minute solo opus "Oh, Comely", Mangum paints timeless pictures of flesh, war and death that will qiute possibly change the way you think about music. At the end ...

Advantages: Simply Breathtaking, Emotional.

...Anne Frank 'There are lights in the clouds Anna's ghost all around/hear her voice as its rolling and ringing through me'. Mangum seems to be singing right from the heart. The album has other gems in 'Holland 1945', 'Oh Comely' and 'Communist Daughter' each of which are just as inspirational. It is no mistake that so many bands around today list Neutral Milk Hotel as one of their major influences. In terms of simple song and lyric writing, Jeff Mangum ...

A Rare Gem

Advantages: Superb songwriting, original, very deep
Disadvantages: Not the most accessible, not for everyone

I'll be the first to put my hand up and say that I am incredibly fussy when it comes to music. For me to like a song (in very general terms) it has to be well-written, with lyrics that take time to work out and make me think a little. Originality is a good factor too. Albums can be fantastic if they are produced correctly; that is to say, they have a certain coherence of mood, where each track sounds different but the whole thing feels like a group effort and flows well. I always find that deep, well-thought lyrics can enhance an album's lifespan endlessly. Luckily, all of these factors are present and shining brightly here in Neutral Milk Hotel's second (and finest) album - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, released in 1998. Even now, 9 years later, it's impractical to describe the album's feel and mood through a single word or phrase. One ...

Review of In The Aeroplane Over The Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel

News From Nowhere

Advantages: A disjointed masterpiece of dystopian story-telling
Disadvantages: See "advantages". It's not the easiest listen, certainly.

the album ultimately takes in. Lordy, I sound like an idiot. Let me put this simply: this is one of the most complete albums I have ever heard. Along with Neutral Milk Hotel's In The Aeroplane Over The Sea and OK Computer, it's one of the three most 'finished', if that makes sense, records ever made. When I say best, I mean most technically complete and emotionally fulfilling. Sgt Pepper is more important to music, of course it is, but from a personal viewpoint the tingling rhythm of "Under The Weeping Willow" is an audio experience that has never been matched. Everything clicks so thoroughly, that the gentle nature of the music is mesmerising. The vision and scope laid out throughout the album is stunning, with no song more exemplary than the opening "He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's The Pilot", an eight minute track that fades from a quiet ...
