Listened to it yesterday
Brilliant record, should get the other one too
How about some Olivia Tremor Control? Great bandname
(among the lines of the best band name ever)
Sound just like White Album-era Beatles.
I definately need to buy some of their cd's

Well when I put them on in the car not long ago, she asked me who they were and said she really liked them. Although not because she thought they sounded like Bright Eyes.

this is the funniest thing i've read all week.
also, go with aeroplane, if i would have gotten avery island first, i would have never liked nmh. i can't stand that "pree sisters swallowsing a donkeys eye" song. i wasted a good 14 minutes of my life listening to that, only to find it's the most annoying thing on the face of the earth. the rest of the album is good though.

I didn't know there was such a 'hype'. I don't know one person who knows NMH at all (except you guys.)
There are so many mouth, tongue, teeth references.
Any interpretations?

Fuck off I got work to do.
But I am Canadian, Carolynanna. And my last name is even the same as that of the drummer from Rush. (But I don't think we're related, especially because he pronounces our name incorrectly.) As for the "hype," I'm only referring to this thread.
Ok, so I have 17 downloads left with eMusic this month. I'm going to download one of their albums. Should I start with the older one ("On Avery Island") or the newer one ("Aeroplane")? What's weird is that those albums are both about a decade old. Reading this thread, I figured this was some new band. And listening to clips of them, I thought they were some sort of copiers of the Bright Eyes sound.
Please pardon me, for these my wrongs.
They are very well respected off this forum, even if not many people have heard of them in this country. I know Michael Stipe and Karen O are both massive fans.
You can take that Bright Eyes comment back though Coasty. Bright Eyes are shite, despite what my girlfriend says. Anyway I am pretty sure NMH were around first, but I could be wrong.

how can people call his voice weird... its simple, raw and full of emotion...
it is one of the best album ever...
it flows excellently, u don't want to skip any track...
I also agree that the last track "two headed boy part 2" is currently my favourite....
How can you complain with lines like
"Soft silly music is meaningful magical
The movements were beautiful
All in your ovaries
All of them milking with green fleshy flowers
While powerful pistons were sugary sweet machines"
.... brilliant...
isnt it about a boy (i.e. two headed, i dunno what two headed refers to, could be lewd) being in love with anne frank, although he is from a different time, i.e. 50 years later... interesting concept, that your true love has actually died and you will never meet her.. and the limitations (or lack of) time itself....

his singing is pretty odd. But Frank can get whiny too. I have no problem listening to whiny voices as long as there is some relief vocally or musically too. And there is plenty

Please pardon me, for these my wrongs.
i didn't like his voice at first, either. i thought "this is a good album, but not that good." and now i see why people think it's so great. i think listening to the whole album in one sitting was what did it for me.

Remarkably depressing pair of songs.

At work my itunes calls up the music files of other people on the wireless network (mostly undergraduate students). I enjoy browsing their files and what has stood out the most for me is how many people have NMH songs. Even people with predominantly crappy rap and pop seem to have NMH and often boots. Other "winner" is Tenacious D.
That being said, I still think it's a great album. |

by the way, am i the only person who thinks that after good ten minutes, the album becomes lousy, with just a couple of bright moments (like that untitled song)?
mangum is the worst singer i've ever heard. |
