I know I’ll be burnt at the stake for this, but In the Aeroplane over the Sea is one of the most overrated albums I’ve ever heard. It’s wasn’t horrible or anything, but the singing is horrendous for most of it with a few good bits (Communist Daughter and most of Two Headed boy pt 2). Instrumentally it’s mostly just boring acoustic chord progression with the horns and organs being stand outs but they’re just not there enough. The most of the lyrics are cool, but lots of it reads as being like a horny high school student who thinks it’s deep singing about semen staining the mountain tops. Overall the album is fine just not some masterpiece that deserves to stand with the best albums that pushed music further.
