Rated Member Rating by steviest on 12/30/2007

Ok, ok, so I realise that everyone knows this is a classic. It just took me a while to catch up. I avoided it because I thought it might be whiney in the way that mid 90's albums were whiney, or a kind of prog pastiche which is just not my bag. But 'In the aeroplane over the sea' is neither of those things. So much brains, heart and soul must have gone into this album that it's unsurprising that NMH recorded little else. It's imaginative, touching and totally nutso in an unaffected way. It is very intense and very 90's. And while Jeff Mangum's vocals are raw and shouty at times, for me, they always remain on the right side of whiney. Favourite track: 'Two headed boy'
