Neutral Milk Hotel Is Overrated
[dx_custom_adunit desktop_id=”RTK_K67O” mobile_id=”RTK_5yk0″]
More than one friend with otherwise good taste has held up “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea” as a favorite album. And I no longer trust those friends all the way. The main reason why I don’t like Neutral Milk Hotel is because they’re bad. But one can argue the greater sin is the generation of copycats that aped Jeff Mangum. Without Neutral Milk Hotel, we wouldn’t have the Decemberists. Or the Mountain Goats. Or other dull bands for dull pseudointellectuals whose ears don’t work. — Alex Burnside.
