ok so i just marathoned this album. can someone tell me what the big fucking deal is.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

There's no "big" deal it's just a pleasing album.
Also how does one "marathon" a sub 40 minute album?
>>63214131
Lurk more before posting
>>63214131
Wowzers good job marathoning the tremendous 40 minute length of ITAOTS bud. Proud of you :^)
You don't marathon a fucking album, you marathon a discography. It's less than an hour, you don't go to a movie marathon and watch one movie. The only things you could say to have marathoned are the songs, and even then it's not exactly a trek.

You marathon it if you're a Greatest Hits listening pleb :^)
>marathoned
>a 40 minute album
Lurk moar
Stop falling for this bait
>>63214209
Marathoning short things is a /tv/ meme
Then the anon usually sarcastically asks what their own opinion was as bait
Eg "Hey /tv/ i just finished marathoning the trailer for suicide squad. What did I think of it?"
Another common and similar one is "binge-watching" or, in this case, "binge-listening"
It's rock music.
Anti intellectuals are impressed by anything
>>63214131
it conjours up some intense feels for a lot of people. if you didn't feel them then you are probably young and didn't develop the same music taste as most people here and you are unfortunately missing out sheer emotional power this album contains.
>>63215345
What does ITAOTS have to do with anti-intellectualism?
>>63215389
>>63215345
fucking christ anon, you're good
>>63215389
He doesn't like it and considers himself an intellectual
What song hits you the hardest /mu/?
For me it's Holland 1945, especially the last part about the empty home.

>God is a place where some holy spectacle lies
what did he mean by this?
>>63215811
there it is.
>>63214131
kek it won't be that easy Anon...do work.
>>63215778
thbp2 is the correct answer
>>63215345
$10 says this is a rapfag using "anti-intellectuals" as a buzzword because someone used it on him once
On Avery Island is better.
>Marching Theme
>Gardenhead/Leave Me Alone
>Naomi
>April 8th
They're close but I like OAI better
>>63215937
Marching Theme and Gardenhead are trash, Where You'll Find Me Now is the best song on the album
>>63215937
ITAOTS works better as one piece IMO, but goddamn I don't think there exists an album with a more disgusting, horrifying, badass closer than OAI. Also, I gotta say, I'm not at all a fan of Marching Theme. Probably the biggest flaw in an otherwise great album.
>>63215937
aeroplane is much better than avery. so much more cohesive and developed.
that being said i like avery a lot too
>>63215976
Gardenhead is great but your other points were correct
>>63215976
>>63216089
Well, I guess I'm the only one who likes marching theme, but I do like where you'll find me now and Pree Swallows a Donkey's Eye is a goat closer
>>63216089
>>63216119
You guys are right that aeroplane definitely is more cohesive, but I never viewed cohesion as a good or bad thing, just a neutral quality.
Like I said, they're both great, but I personally like OAI better
>>63214131
When I first this album, I thought it was utter trash.
But after a couple months, I came back to it and gave it a good listen and it is a great concept album. There's no strings or secret bonus track explaining the entire album and meaning of life. It's just a good sounding album.
>>63215136
it's a maymay :^)

>I love you jesus christttttttttttttt

tgabjs for exxplain fjjng this meme f a m FIRE EMOJI LE EPIC
>>63214131
Basically just Holland 1945 and then you can be done with it
>>63214131
I swear to god I'm the only one who doesn't get the meme behind this album. Why can't anyone on /mu/ enjoy this thing. It's so incredibly emotional.
>>63219129
But the meme is to pretend it's good when in fact it isn't
>>63215828
I think he meant that God is a place where some holy spectacle lies.
>>63215423
Recently listened to king of carrot flowers pt1 and realized Jeff Mangum was pretty much exactly narrating my childhood. I just want to fucking hug the guy
>>63219488
Jason Aldean is ironic appreciation, most of /mu/ loves ITAOTS
>>63219488
its probably one of the best albums ive ever heard
>>63219664
i know what you mean. he taps into the feeling really well
