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.

Agreed. Lift Your Skinny Fists was one of those albums I finally got because I saw it so much. I enjoy it, but I was expecting more considering all the fanfare. I definitely, definitely don't get In The Aeroplane Over the Sea. If lyrics are part of why it's so highly lauded, then that doesn't do much for me since I don't pay all that much attention to them (probably because I listen to so much instrumental music). I'd also have to enjoy the music going along with them, of course, and I just... don't.
