Neutral Milk Hotel – In The Aeroplane Over The Sea

fantastic pressing, fantastic album. i thought i was getting if for a steal until i noticed its cheap everywhere, so thats a bonus.

This pressing is dynamic, quiet and loud (in a good way), if you find it in the wild, pick it up.

No warps, fairly quiet but a quite dynamic pressing. I only have my original CD to compare (never had this on vinyl!) and this is well balanced and reveals much of the nuance lacking in the poorly EQ’d cd.

Looking for an inner if anybody has a spare. Word.

Great record! No complaints here, only good vibes!☺️

Blah blah blah

Was difficult for me to judge which one I owned, all indicators pointed to 3 different Merge Records - MRG136LP pressings. Had to judge based off color. Think I own the 2018 pressing.

It can be hard to rate lo-fi recordings like this one in of pressing/ mastering quality, simply because the original source can sound muffled or "fuzzy" as this one does. But to my ears this record sounds as it should sound. It's a highly enjoyable listen all the way through. No surface noise that I can hear.

A few people have commented on the poly sleeve, but I'm curious. This seems a bit thicker than the poly in the poly lined paper sleeves. Can anyone confirm that this is not a form of PVC or anything that can cause off gassing? I'm tempted to put this in a poly lined paper sleeve just because I know those are safe for long term storage.

Packaging is really outstanding. Love the artwork and comes with a poly sleeve which is rare. My only other album that came stock with poly sleeves was Beach House’s Zebra. Album sounds great too. This is cheap, it’s a no brainer, get it.

I listen to a lot of deathcore, hardcore, death metal but I genuinely love this album. For some reason it reminds me of The Misadventures of Flapjack… idk why. I found this album at a college library when I was 21. Fast forward to 30 (now 32) I had to buy the vinyl!
