memes aside. do people actually like this trash? it sounds really boring and i don't hear anything that stands out.
>>65583269
Yes. Try listening to it louder.
>>65583269
>>65583292
no fuck you i have done this a thousand times and i still don't understand why this is a meme
>>65583305
it's not bait i'm genuinely curious
>>65583269
Right on OP. I can understand that people like it but I don't see what's so revolutionary about it. Pretty boring instrumentals, lacklustre lyrics and limpwristed singing
>>65583447
This. It seems to be held as something actually important to music when it just sounds like everything else
ITT: summerfags
Yeah, this albums is absolutely boring with cuck nu-male tier lyrics and vocals. It's honestly one of the most pathetic and boring albums I've ever heard.
>>65583269
I dunno anything about its context and importance to music but when I first heard it it opened my eyes to music.
>>65583490
ITT: The herd get angry that all their attempts to fit in have lead them to idolise a mediocre album
It's very pleasant. There's nothing challenging about it but it's enjoyable brain candy- I stick it on sometimes on my way home from work, same with Enema of the State.

Well, a dude singing about a teenager that died fifty years whom he fell in love with should be interesting at least.
>>65583269
>there are people that will never understand the greatness of ITAOTS
I truly feel bad for you OP
>>65583269
in february 1998 nothing sounded like that
in june 2016 very few albums came close to its level
>>65583269
It's because it's 20 years old. There's an earnestness that fit in perfectly with the time. don't know how you can listen to the vocals and not hear it.
>>65583768
>there are people who fell for ITAOTS meme
>b-b-but its n-not just a meem!!!!!!!!
so far the only one that made an actual argument was >>65583706 come on now /mu/. you can do better than this
Yes, it's dadrock. No, that doesn't make it bad. It's one of the best dadrock albums I've ever listened to, actually. But in a world that has Kanye, Jay-Z, etc., there's no reason to listen this album in 2016. Let's leave the previous generation's music to the previous generation.
>>65583269
i think it would sound better if they got rid of the saw and all of Oh Comely and had a better vocalist
>>65583375
Hint try being respectful don't use the term "memes aside" and say stuff like you don't get it and maybe you will get a better response
>>65585036
itaots doesn't merit respect, dummy
>>65584998
>dadrock
If your dad listened to NMH in his prime then you're not old enough to browse this board.
ITAOTS is my go-to album for when it's late and I'm driving alone. It's a magical thing
>>65584998
>nmh is dadrock
holy shit /mu/ is filled with underage fags
>>65585016
>Oh Comely

i listened to frank sinatra in his prime
>>65585249
doesn't meen u were on the site, 4chan came after frank sinatra
>>65585086
>>65585145
If any of you fags were alive when this album came out then you are way too fucking old to be on this board.
Oh, and before you call me underage: I'm 18.
>>65585277
i was technically alive when this album came out, born in 1997 you faggot
>>65583269
Simple doesn't mean boring. All the melodies are nice and the performances are solid. I don't know what to tell you if you don't like the vocals and lyrics.
>>65585277
Who /1998/ here?
>OP will never blissfully sing along every track on the album
The album is colorful, playful, fun, happy, melancholic, explosive, passionate and overall it makes me feel warm inside, the fuzzy guitars, and the singer's unique voice that makes it stand out from the rest, if it wasn't for Jeff's voice, this album wouldn't have become what it is today I think, it would just have remained an OK folk album.
Anyways, I feel sorry for you if you're not trolling (I absolutely doubt it), but I just wanted to say why I loved this album so much.
>>65585556
>the singer's unique voice
you mean bad voice
try something more suited to your attention span.
dubstep maybe
>>65583701
problem?
>>65583269
I give it a meh. Didn't connect with it.
it's a 5/10 at best
the singer's voice is really squawky
a lot of the songs sound very dull, samey and bland
and also this >>65588318

>implying that /mu/ has to prove anything about that album that hasn't been discussed before.
I'm sorry that summerfags missed the last 3 years of /mu/core memes and don't have the functioning brain space to understand why one of the most divisive albums on /mu/ is worth listening to after already listening to it, and can't get past their own preconceived notions after coming into it. Get the fuck out of here and go back to 2012 when ITAOTS was actually a meme and not done to death.
>>65583478
>when it just sounds like everything else
Literally how can you think this? I don't even love the album, but shit man...
>>65587060
for you
Pls don't make threads about ITAOTS. Literally pointless. Everything has been said. Every discussion has been had. If you're a newfag, go google "/mu/core", and resist from making threads about any of the albums you see.
Thank you.

good posts. you're not like the other butthurt NMHfags in this thread who just say "you just don't get it newfag" over and over again
>>65589452
Maybe you'd understand if you had seen this exact thread 100 times over years of being on this board why people cba seeing this shit.
You don't have to like it but I don't get people who listen to an album once and decide if its either shit or good. At least for me only the catchy radio friendly songs will be great on first listen. Usually songs that have more to them need more than just one listen
>>65583269
What's boring about it specifically? What parts don't stand out?
>>65589981
>What's boring about it specifically?
Oh Comely
>>65590113
P L E B S K O O L
>>65590632
oh comely is literally the worst song NMH have ever done
>>65590654
quit playin
honestly if half of the shit you guys said in real life and I heard it I would just pummel your beta asses
>>65590113
dude your underrage is really showing if you think that Oh Comely is the worst/most boring song lmao. what is happening to this shitty board
>>65590797
i'm 22 and it's shit, sorry buddy
>>65590860
> I'm _age > 18_ and you're going to believe me
>>65590797
Oh Comely is the worst song because Jeff Mangum is an incredibly talentless vocalist with the delusion that people actually want to listen to a long run-on sentence drawn out in his uniquely unpleasant voice
>>65585277
this is true
if you are over 20 you should really reevaluate what you are doing arguing with a bunch of underage teenagers on an anime board
move on to last.fm and rym

opinion discarded
op quick question, what do you listen to? Maybe folk rock isn't your thing? Tell me your favorite album.
>>65590113
What about it specifically?
>>65590860
Well that makes sense, you're a bit young to understand the meaning
>>65590654
I don't think you've listened to much of their catalog.
>>65591099
For fucks sake, you're allowed to have an opinion and think it's bad, but to call someone talentless and delusional whenever thousands of people enjoy their music sounds more delusional to me. I think Oh Comely is one of the best songs on the album and I love the part you are talking about, so apparently "people" like to listen to it.
>>65591099
Their reunion and his solo tours completely sold out, so clearly this is not a valid criticism
Try again

Jokes on you. I just spam music from my label here. You kids are so stupid, you'll listen to anything "discussed".

So it's like a crappy, advante guarde, Weezer. Minus the catchy lyrics, catchy beats, and general polished feel? Something like that?
