How will /mu/ react when Mangum finally releases LP3?

Idk about /mu/, but I'll personally flip my shit

>>74277973
90% of the threads for at least a month will soley be about that album

>>74278006
I think it'll be pretty game changing for /mu/, like it'll be so divisive, that I could see it fundamentally changing the board

So you think LP3 actually exists?
I'm not so optimistic.

>>74278086
Yeah, I think it exists. I think he probably has a bunch of LPs, but do I think were ever gonna hear em? not really

>>74277973
Hopefully I'll be dead by then.

>>74278129
Yeah I mean I don't doubt that he has continued privately writing music, and probably has enough for at least one more LP. I think they're probably more like half baked musing than anything else though

>>74278210
He did say that he wanted to "disappear for ten years" and then release an album that blows everybody away or something like that.

dubs and Mangum releases the album in September
trips and it's the greatest album of all time

over half of this board's current population has never heard one second of music by Neutral Milk Hotel

biggest meltdown since bowie death, cant wait

>>74278233
Well his last shows were in 2015. So we'll see him in 2025?

>>74278260
He said that in like 1997 or 1998 or something. I read it in that 33 1/3 book

>>74278257
What is summer

>>74278257
That's really depressing, honestly. A whole generation of /mu/ disregarding one of the greatest albums of all time bc of buzzwords like cuck and numale

>>74278274
Well then he already kept his word after ending NMH in 1998 and coming back for the reunion/farewell tour in 2013-2015

There would be at least 6 threads in the catalogue for a year straight.

i think Jeff was just young and insecure, i think he reappeared because he saw that his music made a lot of people happy and that is something very hard to do, the last tour was a great way to give his fans something and to say goodbye and stop making people going crazy with this mistery artist he was creating

but i guess he liked to be back on the stage and now we're getting a new (DOUBLE) album

math is fluid and on a spectrum, you can identify as correct if you want

people who give a shit about the difference between 10 years and 20 years are just oppressors and nerds, it's fucking bullshit

you didn't make a bad, you just did fluid/spectrum math

or maybe it has something to do with OTC's next album, like new NMH and OTC albums, but there's definitely gonna be new NMH if Jeff is making and selling drawings, it would be a very shitty thing to do to deceive people like that and not release NMH material, there's just no other way to interpret the drawings

Idk. Maybe he was just really into symmetry or duality. Ying and Yang type stuff.

>I could see him having wanted to release a new album, but getting cold feet.
yeah, I mean ITAOTS, for better or worse, became a huge meme. The meme is so much larger than life and the album itself, I can see him getting nervous about putting anything more out and it failing or something.

>>74278794
>>74278823

>>74278823
>Maybe he was just really into symmetry or duality.
I could buy this if it was only "double" and a bunch of twos, but the drawings literally reference a bunch of events that happen in 2017, say DOUBLE ALBUM, and have 3RD?????

>>74278859
>but the drawings literally reference a bunch of events that happen in 2017
I'm no art critic, but I don't see any reference to 2017. what are you talking about?

>say DOUBLE ALBUM
except they don't. At best they say "AWOL BOMBE".
AWOL= Absent without Leave
BOMBE= a shitty synthetic drug, similar to LSD.

>3RD
is usually surrounded in ciricles with rings, like a planet. Earth is the 3rd planet from the sun.

I admit I'm pulling this outa my ass. But like I said before, I'm not optimistic about LP3. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.

the first drawing posted in this thread says "double album on it", the second one posted has "magicicada casini huygens" which is a reference to both a species of cicada that is supposed to emerge this year and a satellite that's supposed to crash into Saturn this year.
Also note the rings on the planets. 1st and 2nd have 1 ring, single albums, the 3rd has 2 rings, double album

They are listing bands that released disappointing comeback albums as a way of saying that Neutral Milk Hotel's comeback album will likely be just as disappointing.

Even though they are completely wrong and those bands having disappointing comeback albums doesn't prove anything at all.

2019 - music started AGAIN uh

>>74277973
Hopefully never, in the plane over the sea was only considered as good as it is because nobody had ever heard anything like it before and because of this it faded into obscurity and then was later found its cult following years later, a new up could never match up to the vibe and beauty of the original and would only ever be worse, because nearly 20 years after the fact those raw feelings and that attitude and that level of storytelling isn't going to be there anymore, only imitations of those feelings. I never want an lp3 because lp2 was so near perfect that anything else would be a disservice and a bastardization of it's lasting legacy on music and music forums. They need to go on one last killer tour across the us and Europe playing small bars and clubs in local towns like the old days, re-release a special edition of in the plane over the sea, and then never do anything again, that'd be a legacy if you ask me.

>ITAOTS

Aside from that, i'm confident that Mangum would know what he's doing when it comes to making a new album, especially a double album.
After all, he's had 20 years to bide over it.
It probably won't be considered as good as ITAOTS was by the masses, but it could easily succeed where ITAOTS failed.

>>74287481
Why isn't it near perfect?

>>74287512
It fails lyrically in some songs (Ex. "Semen stains the mountaintop" repeated 20 times) and regardless of how pleb this may sound, the album could've easily done without [untitled].

>>74287588
>"Semen stains the mountaintop" repeated 20 times
You mean four times? It's fine. Do you not understand what he means?
>the album could've easily done without [untitled].
Why? It's the emotional apex of the album.

>>74287709
>You mean four times? It's fine. Do you not understand what he means?
I think that it doesn't matter how deep you interpret that song if the chorus is literally "Semen stains the mountaintops." Maybe you can get over it if you ignore it.
>Why? It's the emotional apex of the album.
How? Oh Comely and Two Headed Boy Pt. 2 are miles ahead of [untitled] in terms of emotional peak.

>>74287799
>I think that it doesn't matter how deep you interpret that song
Sounds like the incorrect way to judge music. Especially this artist. Maybe you should stick to KPOP?
>Oh Comely and Two Headed Boy Pt. 2 are miles ahead of [untitled] in terms of emotional peak.
How so?

>>74287588
>the album could've easily done without [untitled].
Its the best song.

>>74287799
Not that anon, but that line ties in pretty well with the macabre sexual nature of the album. Also - have you just listened to the album recently? I don't mean this in a degrading way, but I find that most people don't like untitled on the first couple of listens

>>74287093
they already did that final tour
the farewell 2014 tour you fool

>>74287799
[Untitled] is the climax of the album, bud

>>74277973
I bet it will be his...

*puts on sunglasses*

Mangum opus

>>74287855
>stick to KPOP
ironically a genre I'm not really into.
I just find that the line itself isn't good, especially as a chorus. Maybe you like it, but I don't feel the same.
>How so?
Mangum screaming his heart out on Oh Comely and the last verse of Two Headed Boy Pt. 2 sound a lot more emotional than a zany bagpipe solo to me.
>>74287872
I enjoy untitled as a stand alone track, but when i'm listening to album in full I just want the track to end so I can get to Two Headed Boy Pt. 2

>>74288126
I think the whole suite is pretty...sweet. it's just a perfect trilogy to close the album

>>74288126
>I just find that the line itself isn't good
Why not?
>especially as a chorus
It's not the chorus, it's just a line in the verse that is repeated
>but I don't feel the same.
But for poor reason, evidently
I enjoy untitled as a stand alone track, but when >i'm listening to album in full I just want the track to end so I can get to Two Headed Boy Pt. 2
That's a problem with you, not the song.

>>74288173
>Why not?
Cause the line at face value is kind of hilarious, when the song itself is meant to have a darker tone than the previous tracks. Plus (and this might just be a normalfag problem) Communist Daughter would be hard to play in a car without people saying "Why is he singing about cum?"
>It's not the chorus
My bad. Still, repeating it only makes it worse cause it gets shoved in my face more
>That's a problem with you not the song
Again, already mentioned how the album could've easily done without the song. If you cut the transitions into and from untitled, the album would've been a lot better off. Untitled just seems to take up space.

>>74288273
You don't think people would get weirded out by the 8 minute song about fucking Anne Frank? Or the multiple songs about incest? You think that one line about semen would be the make or break moment for normal fags?
Also - the album is less that 40 minutes long, it's not like it's abundant with filler

>>74288273
>Cause the line at face value
Ooops you seem to be listing top music incorrectly. Try again?
>when the song itself is meant to have
[citation] for this?
>Communist Daughter would be hard to play in a car without people saying "Why is he singing about cum?"
Who is in your car that hasn't heard this before? Sounds like you have friends with poor taste. Again, that's your fault, not the song's
>repeating it only makes it worse cause it gets shoved in my face more
Are you sure this isn't your anxiety speaking? Perhaps it's not actually being shoved in your face, but your own anxiety and mental issues make it seem like it?
>already mentioned how the album could've easily done without the song.
Not really. You just said you didn't like it. There's a difference. Maybe you can revise your statement?
>Untitled just seems to take up space.
How so? It's so short it doesn't matter. They had other songs that could have taken it's place, but didn't use them. Maybe perhaps it's there for a purpose?

It will be his Mangum opus
