### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Well written, great for fans of the album. Seems like it has a few holes?
  

*by C***W on Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2018*

I have read a few 33 1/3 books over the years and they area always interesting and give a more full appreciation of the albums they cover. "ITAOTS" is no exception. I grew up around the same time as Jeff and his friends, and although not a musician myself, my close friends played in bands in and around Baltimore and their early adventures resonated with me. It's good to know that such soulful, earnest music was made by a group of people who were so talented and dedicated to each other and their art. There were a couple things that I want to mention, however. There are very few references to experimentation with drugs, which I was sort of surprised with. There is one instance where Jeff is on MDMA and is musically inspired, and there is another where some of the band recall their horn player accepting a joint on more than one occasion which affected his playing. I wasn't expecting NMH to be like Led Zeppelin when it came to substance abuse, but taking into account their ages and that particular time and place (i.e. college towns, early 1990's) it is hard to believe that consumption of various substances along the way may have had a affect on their creative process and the music they made. The other is the repeated critically toned apologies of the writer when it comes to Jeff Mangum's musical profession of love for Jesus Christ on the epic 2nd track of "ITAOTS". When I first heard the song, I was struck with the lyric because one doesn't often hear Jesus name checked in rock and roll (sorry, I despise the term "alternative rock"). In the book however, it is pointed out that Jeff's upfront high regard for Jesus was met with disdain by some in the band and that it required a moderate leap of faith for some of his contemporaries to get past such an apparent outrage. Later it is brought up again that, at the time, fans of NMH had to "get past" that lyric when first hearing the album, especially those who may have been "anti-Christian" or at least something along those lines. I don't doubt that the author was documenting real occurrences and genuine reactions, but I really do find it sad that even among these open minded, creative young people a simple shout out to Jesus would be such a burden. I can't help but wonder if Jeff had instead mentioned Vishnu, Allah, or the Buddha would the reaction have been the same? I don't look to rock music to be proselytized to and the faith based contemporary music I have heard has little to recommend it, even to a Christian such as myself, but the fact remains that the people who balked at Jeff's lyric decades ago have easily become the majority voice in a popular culture that often chooses to denigrate Christianity whenever possible. I could be off the mark but it was just something that struck me while I was reading. I recommend this book without reservation!

    This book was fascinating and fun to read
  

*by P***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2020*

This is a really great chronicle of the band's origins, paths crossing and diverting then merging again, and the story of the album's making and the band's short existence thereafter. I got it as part of my research for a NMH mural I made for an Athens public art project, and it was incredibly useful and engrossing. I think I read it twice in 3 months, no problem!

    “how wonderful it is to feel anything at all”
  

*by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2020*

If you haven’t heard the album IN THE AEROPOANE OVER THE SEA, get it by whatever means necessary. Pour a glass of you choice alcohol and be transported on a musical adventure through time and space and Jeff Mangums head.Then when you’ve listened to it over and over an over and want more get this book. It is sooooo insightful and unlocks a lot of the lyrics as well as the mystery of why the band gave up making music.
