Neutral Milk Hotel...

...is really dull indie rock. Sorry. I finally downloaded "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" after years of hype and I am severely disappointed. Admittedly, there is not much in that genre that I find noteworthy but I've become a really big Sufjan Steven fan despite that fact. There are some interesting horn arrangements that start to go somewhere cool but then it dives back into what seems to be standard indie-rock fare. Maybe I just don't have the ear for it but I was underwhelmed. The Veils, on the other hand, are actually kind of cool and I am kind of digging "The Runaway Found."
