Is this the first vaporwave album?
no, it's actually interesting and creative
Have you actually listened to it, OP?
I've listened to Dispepsi and Helter Stupid. Liked the former a lot but didn't care too much for the latter. Which album should I listen to next?

Escape from Noise. Helter Stupid was about the media sensationalizing the fact that some kid listened to one of the songs on Escape from Noise and did something stupid (I forget what exactly) and they blamed Negativland's music.

>In February 1988, a 16-year-old from Rochester, Minnesota named David Brom murdered his entire immediate family (both parents, a brother, and a sister) with an axe. When Negativland was forced to cancel a planned tour in support of their album Escape from Noise for financial reasons, the band issued a press release claiming that they had been "advised by Federal Official Dick Jordan not to leave town pending an investigation into the Brom murders." The press release implied that Brom had listened to Negativland's song "Christianity Is Stupid" before the fatal quarrel with his religious parents.
>In reality, there was no official named "Dick Jordan", and Brom did not possess any Negativland music. The murder investigation later discovered that he was on SST's mailing lists, but he only owned "Zen Arcade" by SST band Hüsker Dü. Nevertheless, pundits and journalists took the press release at face value, and the hoax received widespread media coverage. Negativland encouraged the spread of the story by steadfastly refusing further comment, supposedly on the advice of their attorney "Hal Stakke", another fictional person invented by the band. Much of this media coverage was negative, and band member Richard Lyons' home in Oakland, California was pelted with rocks by an unknown vandal. Negativland subsequently used samples from the media frenzy in their 1989 album Helter Stupid.

Yeah, it was a great concept but I didn't enjoy listening to it all that much.
No, not in the slightest. It's one of the best plunderphonics records, though.
