Holy shit.

Sonya, you rock.

I hope Neutral Milk Hotel will change your outlook on music like it has done for me. It changed my life....I hope it can evoke a fraction of the emotion it did for me. If it does, it will be your favorite album ever.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

I'm trying to listen and drown myself in Neutral Milk Hotel too, cuz i keep thinking they must be really great if they impress someone so cynical and bitter. so far i haven't clicked :freak:

I only gave the album a spin once, and I really liked what I heard... this could actually get interesting. Thanks for the recommendation. ;)

Neutral Milk Hotel is something that takes a while to be appreciated. So I'll give you a couple words of advice.

Listen to the lyrics. They are what make the song, even though the random bagpipe, accordian, or saw make the song nice too.

In "The King Of Carrot Flowers Pt. 2 and 3" the line "I love you Jesus Christ" isn't a religious proclamation. It's quite the opposite, actually. It's meant to me a sarcastic remark for the reactions people made to the word of God, mostly pertaining to WWII.

The CD deals with two subjects. The first subject, the death of Anne Frank, is a little hard to access right away. Most of the cd revolves around her and her death. The other subject is the suicide of his friend. The last song on the cd, "Two-Headed Boy Pt. 2" is all about the death, and I think is the best song ever written.

And finally, listen to it a few times before you make a judement on it. The more you listen, the more it makes sense and the more you'll appreciate all the horns and whatnot. One or two listens won't be enough to really understand it. It makes you think without doing anything more than feeling your emotions. The way he words his feelings just kick your ass and make you love the album.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

It's been a long time since I posted last. So this will be my purchases for the summer, I guess:

Aereogramme - Sleep and Release
Beck - Sea Change
Cooper Temple Clause - Kick Up the Fire and Let the Flames Break Loose
Doves - Lost Souls
Dredg - Leitmotif (free)
Failure - Golden DVD/CD
Hatherley, Charlotte - Grey Will Fade
Lovedrug - Pretend You're Alive
Modest Mouse - Good News for People Who Love Bad News
My Vitriol - Finelines
Nonpoint - Recoil
Rooney - Rooney (free)
theSTART - Initiation
Velvet Revolver - Contraband

Lovedrug was my favorite one of the bunch. Minor Our Lady Peace/Muse/Sunny Day Real Estate similarities.

i doubt i can find it in Canada, but i'll probably pick it up if i can. the 6-ish songs i've listened to have definitely been worth my time.
