Neutral Milk Hotel

Any of you ever heard of them? I'd heard their name over and over but never gave them a list. They were on Parks and Rec as April's favorite band, but ridiculed for being "too depressing." Stephen Colbert apparently likes them though.

Their album In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is about Anne Frank.

But then they buried her alive, one evening 1945, with just her sister at her side. And only weeks before the guns all came and rained on everyone.

Looked it up, apparently true. After all that, Anne Frank died in a concentration camp less than a month before the British freed the camp. How sad.

People do not like the harshness of reality be it as it maybe depressing it is the truth after all.

alright so i listened to this whole album and took a look at their wiki page.

it's rather interesting music, the lyrics are quite artistic.

the religious undertones put me off. i just found it on youtube so im not sure if it was just the video quality or if it is just rather distorted in parts.

I just deleted the one song that just repeated Jesus-something-or-rather over and over. I liked the second half of it, but it wasn't worth the headache of the first half.

Hah mega milk :D

You just made me look it up. people who think it's too depressing have to realize this was an actual reality.

For an Indie/Alternative band I can't say they're bad however it just doesn't fit my style nor can I say I've heard of them before-- just now hearing about it and it doesn't sound but so bad.

Only a few songs really stick out. "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" and "Holland, 1945" are both pretty quick to get into. Put them on repeat on YouTube for a few listens, and I think you'd be stuck.
