In the Aeroplane Over the Sea [Vinyl]

Running up and down hills can make your legs tire real fast. There is no doubt that water will help this. So you drink until you feel like you might get sick, like on an airplane when it aborts a landing.

As you jog by images of your forgotten past and piles of garbage, you cannot remember what her name was. Rose? Or was that her sister?

If you have ever changed your mind, or played piano, or been to Spain, or felt the sting of childhood (or adulthood) abandonment, this album is for you.

A lot of people hate Bob Dylan's voice too, but in so doing, they miss one of the greatest artists of the rock era. Am I comparing Mangum to Dylan? Hell yes I am.

For those who don't get it, just move on to something more accessible to you. But for those who understand, this is one of the best albums of all time, hands down.

The lyrics are poignant, the meaning behind them uplifting, the instrumentation frantic and the vocals strained and real. Some people seem to get caught up on the lead singer's voice; so he's not Paul McCartney, but I don't have a problem with it. CSNY didn't want to let Neil Young sing at first either, but he's had one of the longest and most successful musical careers in memory. A simply beautiful album if you have the capacity to listen to it (yes, musical snobbery. Egads!)

Greatest Album of All TIME. this album is simply the best album I've ever listened to. I have listened to it once a week for a few years now and don't plan on stopping.

A quintessential lo-fi masterwork of acoustic power and unrestrained vocal, this highly influential album helped pave the way for the broken-boy aesthetics of Bright Eyes and literate ballads of Decemberists to be the prominent independent music it is today. Sure, some of the production should have been tuned up a bit even if the overall quality of hearing the performance right in front of you is partly why this album still shines bright, but mostly it is because the sincerity and simplicity coupled with thematic ambitions preserved this track listing better then it ought.
