Trivia [ ]
This was Neutral Milk Hotel's final album recorded and released as a band.
The songs greatly involve the story of Anne Frank during the Holocaust.
The song "Untitled" later became known as "The Penny Arcade in California," after the band saw a girl at a California penny arcade who looked just like Anne Frank.
