So I decided to listen to this and I didn't really think it was all that great. Almost the entire first half sounds like filler to me, especially when you compare it to songs like Destination Moon. Does anyone have reasons why this album seems to be so revered in their discography?

I'm in the same boat as you, this and Apollo18 dont do it for me.
Meanwhile, The Else should be consensus top-tier

meet james endsor is a 10/10 song

There are better TMBG albums

Why would you ever listen to this shit when you could instead listen to their first 4 albums, which are unquestionably some of the greatest pop-rock music ever created?

Most of them are, this is bloated and amounts to only a handful of good tracks which isnt great for a double lp

It grew on me pretty fast, but I think it's a bit inconsistent from track to track. Dirt Bike, Subliminal, Self Called Nowhere, James Endsor, End of the Tour, and No One Knows My Plan are all top-tier TMBG though. The rest range from eh to pretty great.
I think the stylistic shift that's inherent with their shift to a full band took people by surprise. Not sure why if that's why it's revered though. I prefer The Else, Nanobots, and Join Us over it if we're talking about post-Apollo albums.
Glad to see more TMBG threads on Yea Forums though. Love these guys.

It's a grower.
