User Reviews: On Avery Island

  • Overall:

    Excellence in Creativity

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 30, 2001

    I first heard NMH with Aeroplane, which I believe to be a much more realized and rounded concept of an album that flows constantly without end. I could loop Aeroplane for hours on end, and this album would fit right in, although it does have a slight...ly different more loosened and laid back feel to it. I would venture to suppose that they put more time into Aeroplane than Avery, however, it's another excellent album very worth obtaining if you like any sort of music at all. Read more Less

  • Overall:

    amazing

    I think that this album is just as good as "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea" (which is great!)

Pro Reviews: On Avery Island

  • All Music Guide

    Like their Elephant 6 labelmates and kindred spirits Olivia Tremor Control's Music From the Unrealized Film Script 'Dusk at Cubist Castle, ' Neutral Milk Hotel's debut, On Avery Island, is an inscrutable concept album, a chronicle of an insular world told in a remarkably universal language. A fuzzy masterpiece of experimental lo-fi recording, the album wraps its ragged pop songs in ribbons of loops, marching-band squawks, and Casio noodling; the opener "Song Against Sex" is as much a manifesto as a kick-off, a self-propelled marvel hopped up on rapid-fire wordplay and a stunningly ramshackle melody punctuated by bloated trombone moans. Throughout the record, Jeff Mangum's wheels threaten to fly off at any time -- his songs are cryptic and crazed, his ideas fast and furious, and together they force the home-recording concept out of the basement and into a brave new world.

Biography

Neutral Milk Hotel

The self-described "fuzz-folk" project Neutral Milk Hotel was one of the primary outgrowths of the Elephant 6 Recording Company collective, a coterie of like-minded, lo-fi indie groups -- including the Apples (in stereo), the Olivia Tremor Control and Secret Square -- who shared musicians, ideas, and sensibilities. While ranging in sound and concept from solo acoustic w... Read more
