1 | * Most notably [[DroneOfDread the eerie drones]] that end "Pree-Sisters Swallowing a Donkey's Eye", the {{Squick}}fest that is "Rubby Bulbs", and ''especially'' the climax of "Sailing Through". |
2 | * A lot of their lyrics are just... crazy. Like this from "The King of Carrot Flowers Pt. 1": |
3 | -->''And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder\ |
4 | And dad would throw the garbage all across the floor\ |
5 | As we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for'' |
6 | * '''''IIII LOOOOOVE YOUUUU JEEEEEEEESUUUUSSSSS CHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIST''''' |
7 | * The eerie, low-pitched singing saw drones that open "Two Headed Boy Pt. 2". |
8 | * "Sailing Through" ends on a CarefulWithThatAxe moment. |
9 | * The first guitar strums in "Oh Comely" are innocent enough until you've heard the song through a few times. Then they become the most terrifying sounds imaginable. "I will be with you when you lose your breath," indeed. |
10 | * All of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReZwDbZQRK8 "Pree Sisters Swallowing a Donkey's Eye."]] Starts out with noisy chaos, then descends slowly into NothingIsScarier as the instruments fade. |
11 | ** Not to mention that "April 8th", the song that precedes it, has an extremely ominous feel and transitions into "Pree Sisters" without warning. |
12 | * [[http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8p1Swa_pQcY "Invent Yourself A Shortcake"]] is an early set of Neutral Milk Hotel recordings that was self-released in limited quantities during the early '90s. Much of it consists of field recordings and sound experiments done by Jeff Mangum, many of which are quite unsettling. |
13 | * "Where You'll Find Me Now" [[LastNoteNightmare ends with a distorted sample of carnival music.]] Kind of cliché, but still creepy if you're hearing it for the first time. |
14 | * The ending of "Communist Daughter" is particularly chilling if you happen to be listening to it at night. |
