Official Apology

In a previous post, I declared that Neutral Milk Hotel's On Avery Island wasn't very good. "The lo-fi approach didn't work very well," I stated. I now wish to retract that statement. "Song Against Sex" lilts along wonderfully, and "Naomi" is an amazing song. And of course "Three Peaches" and "April 8th" are two of the darkest-sounding songs ever. The rest of the album is pretty solid too. I still have barely listened to The Great Destroyer. I did once and I didn't like it much; haven't found the time to re-evaluate it yet.
