on avery island is nowhere near as good as aeroplane. aeroplane is ****ing brilliant form start to finish. not one song doesn't make sense on that album. i think on avery island is good, but man, not even close to aeroplane!

aeroplane tries too hard to be a masterpiece and ends up convincing most people it is

If On Avery Island didn't have Pree-Sisters Swallowing A Donkey's Eye it would be just as good as In the Aeroplane Over the Sea.

If you get really into their main albums you might want to check out Jeff Mangum's solo live album "Live at Jittery Joe's". People who are new to the group might think it sounds like alot of whiney crap, but those who are already familiar with their stuff will definately enjoy it.

thanks for the recommendation, peeps. this album (aeroplane) is a bloody legend. brilliant stuff. where to go next with the band?

On Avery Island, that's about it unless you want to get into really lo-fi tape demos and live bootlegs.

Rainard Jalen · 02-26-2008, 01:56 AM

cheers, avery island it will be.

btw, would anybody who feels they have a good understanding of two-headed boys be up for doing their own line-by-line interpretation of it? i'd be really interested to read it if anybody were to take it up.

Jeff Mangum wrote a lot about fucked up dreams he had/The Diary of Anne Frank. I would say read the diary but in this case it won't help even if it did, it's a pretty dull book that doesn't go anywhere.
