#376 Neutral Milk Hotel, 'In the Aeroplane Over the Sea' (1998)

Over the years, this album has come up in multiple conversations I’ve had with fellow music fans, many citing it as a huge favourite of theirs. I listened to it a few years ago, but to be honest, I didn’t remember a note. On release its reviews were luke warm. Not bad, as such, but nothing to write home about. In subsequent years, this record has been hailed by critics and fans alike.
