This is the weirdest thing these eyes have ever seen. Seeing a bunch of Andy Bernards singing Neutral Milk Hotel is some kind of glitch in programming...
@@nickn626 mere anarchy is loosed upon the world. I’ll admit that I had to Google the exact phrasing but I knew what poem that was immediately. In fairness, I’m an English major, so I have probably had to read Yeats a couple times now.
This song always struck me as the polar-opposite of an a cappella song (heavy HEAVY instrumentals over vocals). So I think your a cappella efforts are doubly impressive. Nice work!
this is literally the weirdest fucking thing I've ever heard like someone needs to make an experimental film with this over the ending credits. and it only gets weirder as it progresses.
very pleasant, although it strays really far away from the original melody. i wouldnt recognize this if it werent for the lyrics. still enjoyed it, tho.
NMH was polished, it takes a lot of coordination especially for this song (a lot of instruments like French Horn and Euphonium are playing) their sound was just not a bunch of clean tones and whatnot
Those of you who are saying this is awful really upset me. It’s not in the same style, no, it’s not supposed to sound screechy or hard like the original. Jeff said that this album is about whatever you want it to be and however you portray it. You guys don’t understand how beautiful this is. It’s fast but it’s still a ballad. The chords lock beautifully, and a lot of the arranging had it be accurate to the instruments and chords in the actual song, it’s pretty true to the original. And also, nmh is insanely hard to turn into a 4 part harmony piece, and these guys nailed it. It’s true, it’s different, it’s beautiful.
Interesting take. I would have liked to hear more of the dynamics of Mangum's longer words, though. Particularly the last use of "eyes" at the end. It seems like it would have lent itself well to this style.
this reminds me so much of wandavision- like living in the 1950's trying to pretend that everything is perfect but there's some sort of underlying dark secret. without listening to the lyrics it sounds happy but when you listen intently it's like "but then they buried her alive" lol
@@smokyprogg he didn’t say that song was happy, just that the sound of it is. I actually think that’s intentional as a bit of irony of it being such a devasting song with such a cherry tune. This cover kinda adds onto the irony aswell (wether intentional or not)
This rendition is at once interesting, and also a gross misrepresentation of the original song. I feel like everything that was beautiful about the original song was lost here. Whoever made this arrangement completely dismantled the original vocal melody and replaced it with an overly simplistic chordal shifting motif. This rendition is playful and yet stiff. I hope the person who created this rendition understands how much magic was lost here. What makes Neutral Milk Hotel so special is the uniqueness of the vocal rhythm and vocal melody.
They should’ve made the harmonies follow the actual chord progression of the song. This is just two barber shop quartets singing an unrelated song with the lyrics to Holland 1945
If I was a younger man I would have taken AL PACINO to this place, every last AL PACINO one of you. .. but yeah the soulless harmonies suck. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
A little upset that they didn’t start with “2 1 2 3 4”
only a little?
yeah, at least they kinda did
me too
*very upset
Lol. The Beach Boys meet Neutral Milk Hotel.
In The Pet Sounds Over The Sea
Neutral Beach Hotel
this is the most private school shit I've ever seen.
It’s almost uncanny valley
Yes, and?

@Oh Yes Yes agreed
It's weird but cool to see this sound so polished. NMH have always been so far from polished.

^which is what he meant by polished...
Yeah! It sounds exactly like the original recording except more polished!
Ruins the song IMO

Another note, the dynamics! They knew when to be quiet and when to be loud and it fit well with the lyrics. I can’t believe people don’t like this!
In a manner of musicality, like it's okay, but stylistically speaking it's a pretty darn lame arrangement.
You're really upset that people have a different opinion to you?
@@throwingninetyeight8631 I don’t think that’s it lol
It's unexpected but it's a good performance.
This feels soo weird without the distortion and the screaming
bruh nmh fans need to chill tf out. It's a cover.
Music I know and cherish and a world I know nothing about. Thanks !
This ain’t holland 1945 this is Brussels 1918
LOL
lawful good milk hotel

this is glorious
The sheer amount of talent and dedication needed to pull this off!
HOLY SHIT IT'S THE KOKOSINGERS MY UNCLE WAS PART OF THIS HELL YEAH

@@b.l.o.o.d.m.o.s.e.s. what you mean
This is ridiculous. I LOVE IT.
yeah this checks out
Never seen so many Andy Bernards together ever.
i've spent the last hour trying to figure out which voices are coming out of which mouths.
Wow, Truly amazing job! A Capella works quite well with this song. Keep up the good work!
So this is how heaven sounds like.......beautiful
Hola Tierra 2: Versión Especial de Baja Frecuencia
This is so so weird
Somehow weirder than the original. My god
wow theyre doing HOLLAND 1945 AT THE KENYON COLLEGE KOKOSINGERS CONCERT. IN 2015 ?
Nah mad respect. This shits hard. that crowd has no idea what they just witnessed
I applaud the effort and that's part of the beauty of college that you can take anything with earnest effort to its logical conclusion. But...
absolutely amazing stuff here, Jeff would be proud.
wonderin if jeff watched it. prob no

the dude coughing on the camera smh, good stuff
I really really like this, it feels somehow eerie
I ain’t complaining
This is cute. Mixing these two styles must have been difficult. I would love to hear it a little bit slower!
I love this!
A soul-crushing song about Anne Frank just seems odd sung like this. Maybe I'm overthinking it but it just feels almost wrong.
@@fuserr That's* a bit much, really
Edit: spelling
@@fuserr Are you fucking serious?
I see what you mean but at the same time the original is (musically) quite happy, all major chords.

Love this vid and this song
1:19 for a few seconds it made me think of Brian Wilson... But they are speeding.. :P
Well done, gentlemen!
So different, unexpected, and strange. They're doing music right.
AMAZING.
why tf is this in my recommended
ain't no neutral milk hotel ngl
Chill lol
Ambivalent dairy hostel
Why is the downbeat different
Weird but cool I love it
This is like making nightcore out of Real Death by Mount Eerie
Fucking wish I was in a capella band
right? literally. this makes me want to learn to do acapella with like 10 other people LMAO
Very ambitious and shows a great love for the song
do High Hawk Season by the Mountain Goats

“what lab did these little clones escape from”
I can't see an Acapella Group without think in Andrew Bernard.
the vocals are nice but the snapping ... the snapping ...
Bro that was sick
Nice but feels off, because I listened to the original too much probably, hahaha.
Holy shit
Might be the most experimental thing I’ve ever heard
can't hear the main vocal line in it at all and that is not good
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ITS SO BEAUTIFUL
LOL I LOVE THIS
Y’all think this is why god doesn’t talk to us anymore?
Yes
because this is proof we've gotten better than him, yeah
