Free Music Notes for On Avery Island
Free Music Review: Very Good
Hit: 4 Stars
If you're looking at this CD after buying the almost perfect "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" you might be somewhat disappointed. This one lacks the polish of Aeroplane -- but what it lacks in production it makes up for in freshness. It's inventive without being preciously "indie" and the lyrics are personal yet accessible-- no one does sincerity like Jeff Mangum. In the final analysis, this CD could have used some editing, but it's still fresher than almost anything coming out of Musicland these days, and I was extremely pleased with my purchase.
Free Music Review: If you love it the first time around it ain't so good...
Hit: 4 Stars
at least that's been my impression. Avery Island is NOT easily accessible which is why I now can still listen to it a year after purchase. The first track will pull one in with it's pop-style trimmings but the rest of disc will hold on for much longer. Gardenhead is the perfect example of a song that will start to stick with you after repeated listenings.Is it me or does this CD maintain the same beat throughout?
Free Music Review: A Good Album by a Good Artist
Hit: 4 Stars
Neutral Milk Hotel delivers a fabulous album with On Avery Island. The album includes fast upbeat tracks like "Song Against Sex" and "Gardenhead" to slower, but equally good ones, like the best song on the album, "Naomi." This is a great album, but I prefer NMH's second album, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea.Free Music Review: decent
Hit: 4 Stars
Sometimes I love these guys and other times they really get on my nerves. Overall, I would say this is a great album. Still, I usually get through about 5 songs before I need to turn it off. Worth a listen if you are into that late 90's hyped up 60's thing.Free Music Review: Song Against Sex
Hit: 4 Stars
... is one of the best things I have ever heard. After that I think the album isn't as interesting, although Baby for Pree is good. Listen to more than the first track before you buy.
