I feel like there must already be a threat about NMH.

Pretty sure there is a thread.

Either way, I love both of their albums, but it's more sentimental than adoration for their music. Like many, they were my first experience of that lo-fi Indie underground scene. But unlike a lot of people, I didn't stop digging at that point, so in retrospect they are not all THAT great.

ITAOTS is easily a 4/5 album.

Yup...

I recall them having more than two albums, I had a discography at one point but didn't listen to it too regularly, so there may well have been a lot of overlap between them.

/presumes a mod will just merge this.

been listening to them again since their main man JEFF MANGUM is curating ATP - really good band. Not one I listen to much now but always a pleasure hearing their records - I prefer On Avery Island, though.

ITAOTS is obviously better.

Yes, for you.

To confirm from earlier, they had two albums and an EP.
On Avery Island was the name of the debut album.

Obviously for me, but I can't see how anyone would rate their debut more. "Song Against Sex", "Three Peaches" and maybe one or two others are great, but nothing else touches ITAOTS.

semen staaaains the mountaintops.

haha. ITAOTS is an awesome album, i couldn't care how "generic" of a music listener that opinion makes me.
