@daggerls ...hey fella happens that Im not your average commentator. Im a musician (I studied harmony, composition and even the dodecaphonic system) I can play several instruments and played in bands; I used to be stage manager and recorded few demos; plus, Im now studying recording techniques, mixing, etc; also I buy albums and go to the gigs. I have and play music in such different styles like classic, ethnics, r´n´r styles (surf, trash, punk, garage, noise, ) all these to say you that I u
I just spent time watching 4 clips of Eisley...they lack of spirit, creativity, technique, etc its all based on vocals; is a vocal or coral group mounted with a band "clothes". Please check the video that the gals are playing in the studio the song called "invasion", check the bridge and some other parts of the song...very poor.
you know, I can never find a cover of any neutral milk hotel song that I really enjoy, theres just something about neutral milk hotel that other people just cannot capture and recreate, but this is without a doubt one of the better covers of them that I've heard, still not the same, but not too bad.
I think people get touchy about NMH covers because the songs are so personal to Jeff Mangum that they are really only properly performed by him or someone who can demonstrate the emotion (which is nearly impossible to do). As with Brand New's covers, this was competent, but there was no life in it.
I feel the same, but to be honest this is worse than I expected... I expected this to be amazing, but the vocals feel off-- like not the right notes at the parts where she's being monotonal... Like it feels like a steady wrong note.
The harmony sucks too, but the parts with one singer doing the spicy stuff vocally sounds really good.
oh, im not pretending :) the reason i got the title wrong is because the site i got it from said "AN" when apparently its "THE".
so thats why i changed it. now lets leave it at that, shall we? oh. and by the way- i really appreciated your f-bomb you directed at me just because the title was wrong.
not terrible, but i don't think the intensity of nmh could ever be contained in any cover EVER. lacey is my favorite but mangum's voice is not humanly tangible.
ckygetz, this isn't just by Sherri. There is a recording that only Sherri did, but this is Sherri, Chauntelle, and Stacy playing it on a radio show (I like it a lot better than Sherri's version, too).
Thanks so much for posting this, tbs287, it's so gorgeous.
Wow, I loved Eisley before, but now I have even more respect for them for making a Neutral Milk Hotel cover and making it REALLY well

No way was that dermot o Leary in one of those photos :O
This is a good cover, even though I don't like the way they sped it up.

@TheReverb1
That's good for me.
But you can't say that someone who can play a song and make music has no talent.
Because if someone can do that, they still got some talents. Even some slightest bit.
But I'd say Eisley have talents. Check them out.
If you say they have no talent, you probably have no ear at all or you have a narrowed-mind.
A little advice, open it up!

I agree a little(emphasize "little") that the vocal is not excellent.
But hey, I've listen to all Eisley songs and Their videos.
Have you watch the video for "Memories" yet? If that's not called "creative" what it should be called?
You just don't understand them, that's why you think they're not good.
They have their own unique style and techniques. Not like the mainstream, they're all the same. With drugs, liquors, girls, and all those shit.
Eisley always give me something to think

Im really picky with NMH covers, but I must say, this is pretty well done.
There's a notable difference between the two versions. The original is inhuman, and so strong (vocally and emotionally)
This version is a sweeter take on the song, the voices sound almost like lullabies.
I enjoyed. =]
