This album owns me. I downloaded it a while back after hearing about it here on RM (and seeing the album cover). It's been slowly growing on me ever since. My favorite tracks are Ghost, In the Aeroplane over the Sea, and Two Headed Boy Pt. 2.

The lyrics are amazing and the music is unique but still very catching. You think you understand what he's singing about a bit more with each listen, it's certainly an album that requires many listens. Great stuff!

Oh, Comely is the best song, followed closely by Two Headed Boy pt. 2.

The lyrics on this album are so damn good....it definitely a dense, enchanting piece of work. Many people recognize Holland, 1945 and Oh Comely as the best songs ever. I actually prefer Ghost and Two Headed Boy, but really they're all great.

I'm more of an every song on the album kind of guy. This and OK Computer are the two albums every person should have. Picking a favorite on it would be hard, but I might say the title track, just for sentimental value... since it's the first one I heard.

Incredible album.. one of my favorites.

Any news on the whereabouts of Jeff Mangum? I think I heard one time that he was in a mental institution.

I have been listening to this record a lot here in Africa. Mainly because I always listen to this record a lot. It is, in my opinion, arguably the greatest record ever written. Yet, there is one particular line, that today just haunts me. It sort of puts everything into perspective...everything I see each day that it is. It is this:

Can't believe, how strange it is
To be anything at all

That haunts me.

A month? That's not too bad. It's like two years for me. I guess I'll never get around to it.
