I went through a stage of listening to albums that were being lauded by, what seemed very much like, some genuine people and some who had just jumped on the bandwagon in an attempt to raise their popularity. Some have probably already been mentioned, so forgive the repetition:
Godspeed You Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists.... Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea Liars - Drum's Not Dead Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion I actually felt like I'd wasted part of my life listening to these albums. I couldn't make it through most of them as the overwhelming urge to run from the room, screaming and tearing my hair out got the better of me. Sorry if you like these albums but, seriously, I hated them with a passion you would find disturbing. |

I'm with you on that one. I just don't see that appeal. No matter how many times I listen to it, it still seems like a guy winging it on his acoustic. The weird thing is my brother - who usually hates music like that - happens to love that album and is constantly amazed that I don't like it.

The problem with In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is that its actually often lauded as one of the greatest indie albums ever recorded, so when a non-indie fan listener puts it on and is greeted with a lo-fi feel and a rather inacessible group of songs, it can leave the listener deflated. I held that position for a while, now I think the album has a great lush feel to it and recognize it as a great album. Do I have any desire to listen to it, well not really, if I was forced to listen to NMH I'd probably opt for their debut which is more enjoyable to listen to.

I'm also one of those who just doesn't get the appeal of In The Aeroplane Over The Sea. For such a lauded album it just sounds so... average. I'm a fan of 90's lo-fi indie rock but there are definitely plenty of better indie albums in that decade than this.
