Why does this album have so much staying power? It has been over a decade since I first heard this record, and it is still my favorite album of all time. It isn't particularly interesting compositionally. It isn't groundbreaking. There is nothing obviously unique about it. Yet, alas, I cannot help but love this album. I'm not religious in any sense, but I almost feel spiritually connected to the songs on ITAOTS. It's like I am being connected to a higher power when I hear these songs.

it has great songwriting, evocative lyrics, nice performances, and very peculiar but passionate vocals. much more than most albums.
Ian Moore
Haha! This one never stops being funny!
Xavier Cook
It's wholly unique, raw, passionate with evocative lyrics and beautiful melodies. It's ageless because it doesn't rely on anything to do with popculutre whatsoever and you can just tell it was made from a place of passion and soul

This is a good way to put it, user.

It’s like a 5/10 on a good day

it is an album like no other. I'm not a particularly spiritual dude but the fact that Mangum basically wrote all this from these intense hallucinations he gets adds to the mythical quality of it
Dominic Perez
its a gud album
Jace Bailey
Lyrics and honest delivery.

>It's like I am being connected to a higher power when I hear these songs.
that's because its cover is part of Yea Forums mythology now. Every time you look through the potato you see the lack in your sense of self, the you that should be outside doing things, but remains indoors, obsessing over records. You are part of this board to such an extent that you have lost self-definition.
Ethan Cruz
excellent
Noah Baker

Dylan Cooper
Those of you who unironically enjoyed this album like me... please recommend some more albums, I'm looking for some new stuff lately.
Mason Davis
this, overrated as fuck desu
Ryder Russell
It doesn't. You'll grow out of it once you get older and realize it's a gimmick album you enjoyed when you were younger because it was different.
Jack Cruz
I used to listen to this album while I played WoW all the time. I specifically remember listening while I was questing in Thousand Needles and singing along to Ghost at the top of my lungs. Those were the days.
Leo Wright
it's a shame that this album is memed because on avery island is exponentially better. Likewise Ferris Wheel on Fire is god tier

Have you ever considered that you're just as much a Yea Forums drone if you dislike an album purely because it's popular? Whether you like or dislike something, true patricians don't let other people's opinions dictate their own.

One, two, three, four
Henry Thomas
Im listening to it right now.
I can't even understand him half the time, the other half he's talking about an alcoholic mother or killing someone with a spine
Xavier Foster
Justin Diaz
For me, ITAOTS is a bit more cohesive. Both are great albums anyways
Robert Gutierrez
Best album to sing along desu
