Why is ITAOTS considered the masterpiece of elephant 6 when

Because people are plebs, anon.

For real though, ITAOTS has more of a mythic, mysterious origin. It's also more emotionally devastating. Those two together make it the thing it is.

aeroplane was never good, it was a joke. new kids came to /mu/ and wanted to fit in, so they all pretended to like it, not realizing it was just a meme

>>69506890
that's just absurd. I loved that album way before I discovered /mu/.

le beach boys rip off with wacky noises meme

>>69506946
because you read about it on pitchfork or some other millenial blog, who heard of it from the /mu/ meme

just admit you got memed and nothing e6 did was good

>>69506984
nah, this was way before their revision reissue review. sorry bb.

sucks that you don't like e6, though. I'm a huge fan.

>>69506658
This is safe and boring is why

and ITAOTS isn't?

Not that anon, but I can see what he's saying. ITAOTS is a riskier album, artistically.

prime example of the 'sorry' tell for cognitive dissonance

name one risk that was taken

>>69507118
It's an Anne Frank concept album.

>>69507099
Ah! you got me! You saw through all my clever ploys! You did it, anon. I'm proud of you.

>>69506658
Because like most of E6, it's very derivative and lacks creativity, that includes ITAOTS, On Avery Island on the other hand is a great neo-psychedelic album

Imitators.
