The album was the sixth-best-selling vinyl album in 2008.NME named it the 98th greatest album of all time.
Inspiration
In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is widely considered to be written about Anne Frank due to lyrics seemingly referring to her, such as lines referring to her birth and death dates. Though the group has never officially stated that the album is indeed about Frank, it is a popular theory among fans, and Jeff Mangum has mentioned the influence her diary, The Diary of a Young Girl, has made on his craft and outright referred to "Holland, 1945" being about her while performing live.

Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
---
What a beautiful face I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun,
What a beautiful dream that could flash on the screen in a blinkof an eye
and be gone from me soft and sweet
Let me hold it close and keep it here with me.
And one day we will die and our ashes will fly from the aeroplaneover the sea,
But for now we are young let us lay in the sun,
And count every beautiful thing we can see,
Love to be in the arms of all I'm keeping here with me.
What a curious life we have found here tonight,
There is music that sounds from the street,
There are lights in the clouds,
Anna's ghost all around
Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing thru me,
Soft and sweet!
How the notes all bend and reach abo...

There is music that sounds from the street,
There are lights in the clouds,
Anna's ghost all around
Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing thru me,
Soft and sweet!
How the notes all bend and reach above the trees.
Now how I remember you,
How I would push my fingers through your mouth to make thosemuscles move
That made your voice so smooth and sweet,
And now we keep where we don't know
All secrets sleep in winter clothes
With one you loved so long ago now he don't even know his name.
What a beautiful face I have found in this place that is circlingall round the sun
When we meet on a cloud I'll be laughing out loud,
I'll be laughing with everyone I see,
Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all.

Neutral Milk Hotel were one of the most famous and influential indie bands of all time. Headed by Jeff Mangum, a genius songwriter and singer from Ruston, Louisiana, they released only two albums in their short career: On Avery Island and In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. The band’s 2nd and final album has gained cult classic status over the last 2 decades for its surreal lyricism and fascinating subject matter. Many people believe that it’s about German diarist and historical figure Anne Frank. Songs like Two Headed Boy, Oh Comely, Holland 1945 and King of Carrot Flowers include references to the horrors of World War 2 and her short but influential life. In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is famous for its fresh instrumentation and style, and it is considered one of the albums that began the indie folk/rock genre. It is responsible for the styles of bands such as The Decemberists and Arcade Fire.
Neutral Milk Hotel is famous for disappearing after they released their second album, which was an instant hit. They gained popularity from blogs and 4chan and eventually came out with an EP, Ferris Wheel on Fire, in 2011. Ferris Wheel on Fire is made up of older songs from the mid-90s. They toured for a while in the early 2010s as well, but announced in 2015 that were going to stop for the foreseeable future.
