		On Avery Island is a little more difficult to adapt to than the band's final album; that said, it certainly holds its own when compared to Aeroplane, as it holds the key to what made that album so incredible- Jeff Mangum's frighteningly honest lyrics.
		With perhaps the exception of the closing track (a 13 minute noise-fest that tests the ears of even the most open-minded of listeners), On Avery Island is entirely enjoyable and every bit as moving as Aeroplane.
		For me, On Avery Island is a dark, complex and emotionally affecting piece of work that more than lives up to Mangum's more acclaimed and emotionally expansive 1997 follow up.
