I HAVEN'T BEEN HERE FOR MANY YEARS HOW DO WE FEEL ABOUT

>>71507465
Turn off caps lock anon

>>71507489
I AM HOLDING DOWN SHIFT

Two-Headed Boy > King of Carrot Flowers

DOES LITERALLY EVERYONE STILL LIKE THIS, OR AT LEAST CHERISH IT AS PART OF THEIR HISTORY?
OR IS IT A FORGOTTEN MEME THAT TODAY'S COOL TEENS DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT, LEST CARE ABOUT
OR PERHAPS THEY SCORN IT, WITH THEIR NEW COOL HIP HOP WAYS??

This is my favorite album of all time.

i havent listened to it in years

>>71507465
Used to love this album to death, I don't really listen to it now, but I think it's great

>>71507869
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND LISTENING TO IT AGAIN
I DID RECENTLY AND IT WAS FUCKING TRANSCENDENTAL

Still a good album 7-7-2017

>>71507465
Literal 10. One of the best albums of all time.

>>71507465
What is this album again?

>>71507465
Still the most perfect album of all time

You can compare this album to any album of the beach boys and the beatles and still found ITAOTS more catchy, more pleasurable, more GOOD.

9/10

Perfect beginning to end still

>>71507783
>>71507959
>>71507983
this

>>71507899
like any kind of music

>>71508003
Tell me the flaws of the album, why isn't a 10.

The album is like paulina vega face = perfect

There has never been a more kino album ever released.

>>71508049
Tb h I'd give it like a 9.5, it's just that while Two Headed Boy Part 2 brings me to tears most times it still feels like it could be a tiny bit better just in terms of guitar songwriting

>>71508077
>just in terms of guitar songwriting
How could it be better?

Irrelevant. This album isn't meant for teenagers.

Love this album. I still listen to it.

>>71507465
10/10
plebian children newfags like to say it's shit but we just chuckle and know they'll never reach true enlightenment

>>71508143
The patrish choice for sure

>>71507465
Its terrific, one of my favorites of all time. Ferris Wheel On Fire is on the same level.

Its probably not THE most beloved album here anymore though, that might just be Loveless.

one of the only albums where the tribute albums are better

>>71508114
This album is a meme because of how good it is......

>hipster
People hear music what a fucking surprise

There are 4 albums in history that are pure art and this is one of these, the rest can be good and really good, but not art. The band didn't know wtf they make.

>>71508164
>Ferris Wheel On Fire
Why would you compare a song to an album?

>>71508196
>There are 4 albums in history that are pure art
What were the other three?

>>71508196
I agree 100% that ITAOTS is art (which is weird, because from a technical standpoint it's not clear what seperates it from the rest so much).
I'm curious what the other 3 albums you think are pure art.

>>71508217
Anon I was replying to was talking about the album, not the song
>>71508196
>the rest can be good and really good, but not art
What makes it pure art?

Ferris Wheel is an EP

The majority of this album sounds like trash

I still think it deserves every bit of praise it gets, but then again I've been here since 09.

Not bragging btw, actually kind of ashamed to still be browsing at this age.

Also,
>new (double) album when?

>>71508255
>Ferris Wheel is an EP
Show me it's isolated release, other than a bonus disc in a boxset

>>71508276
>new (double) album when?
in a million years

>>71508102
More interesting, it's just not on the level of THB pt.1, oh comely etc

>>71508322
It'll be worth the wait

>>71508283
What do you think an EP is?

>>71507465
Still a fantastic album and essential /mu/core

>>71508326
>More interesting,
How so?
>>71508338
Ooops you didn't answer my question, did you?

>>71508373
I mean you can Google whatever you want to find out whatever you want. I'm more curious about your intentions though.

>>71508373
A better chord progression or a more interesting melody. I love it how it is but still

Funeral Doom
33 bpm and unintelligible grumbling

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSSFG_pNPg0

>>71508381
>I mean you can Google whatever you want to find out whatever you want.
I wouldn't need to, I'd just check my actual copy of the boxset to see what it actually is
>I'm more curious about your intentions though.
Reminding you it's just a bonus disc, not a stand alone release. You should probably cease perpetuating disinformation
>>71508385
>A better chord progression or a more interesting melody
Like what?

>>71508412

Such as?

>>71508412
>>71508373
>>71508102
Stop.

>>71508214
>>71508236
Abbey Road (but!...but....Revolver is better!)
Guess the other two

>>71508242

""Art is a diverse range of human activities in creating visual, auditory or performing artifacts (artworks), expressing the author's imaginative or technical skill, intended to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power. Art can connote a sense of trained ability or mastery of a medium. Art can also simply refer to the developed and efficient use of a language to convey meaning with immediacy and or depth. Art can be defined as an act of expressing feelings, thoughts, and observations.""

>>71508412
But you said it was just a song when in fact it was a "bonus disc", one that some might classify as something between a single and a long play. Man I wish there was a word for that..

>>71508422
>Such as?
You tell me, it's your criticism
>>71508439
>Man I wish there was a word for that..
Not the "Ferris Wheel On Fire" EP because it's not even labeled that anywhere on this disc at all

>>71508435
>Guess the other two
I can't because according to the definition you just posted here:
>""Art is a diverse range of human activities in creating visual, auditory or performing artifacts (artworks), expressing the author's imaginative or technical skill, intended to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power. Art can connote a sense of trained ability or mastery of a medium. Art can also simply refer to the developed and efficient use of a language to convey meaning with immediacy and or depth.

That's most albums. Specifically, if you think ITAOTS, what is stopping On Avery Island to also be pure art? If you think Abbey Road is pure art, then what's stopping their other 12 albums as being pure art?

>>71507465
Love it still.
"Holland, 1945" is one of my favorite songs of all time.

>>71508451
Its an EP according to the label that released it, because that's how they classify certain "bonus discs" so that not literally everything is just a "bonus disc."

Sorry if Google was too hard for you.

>>71508451
>You tell me, it's your criticism
In what way?

>>71508476
I think the real term he is looking for is "kino"

>>71508476
stop responding to him he's just a retard who thinks only his favorite albums are "art."

>>71508488
>Its an EP according to the label that released it
Incorrect. Show me on your copy of the boxset where it says it

>Its an EP according to the label that released it
[citation needed]
>>71508494
In the way that it's a 10/10 already, and you need to prove otherwise.

>>71508556
You're a real life autist that would rather try and pick boring arguments over your own misunderstandings and fuckups than talk about music.

Sad.

>>71508476
That only Abbey Road, Pet Sounds and In The Airplane Over the Sea make your soul feel good.

>>71507588
that's correct

>>71507465
I still absolutely love it and own it on vinyl.

>>71508542
>abbey road is bad
>in the airplane over the sea is bad
>pet sounds is bad
Not my favorite albums too.

>>71508566
>over your own misunderstandings
You mean *your* misunderstanding. Do you even own the boxset?
>than talk about music.
I'm literally tlakign about music with two other people, are you tarded?
>>71508600
>make your soul feel good.
My soul feel good? No, all of the Beatles albums do that, a handful of Beach Boys and both NMH. So I guess that's more thna 4, isn't it?

>>71508136
Ironic then that teens are the only people who like it.

>>71508556
>In the way that it's a 10/10 already, and you need to prove otherwise.
How so?


If you're actually serious you need to re evaluate your thinking lmfao

>>71508693
When i saw them a few years back, the crowd was 80% in their 30s or 40s

Nice try though

>>71508700
>How so?
Because it's perfect

>>71508705
That's weird, because when I saw them the crowd was the very definition of "twenty something."

Also teenagers aren't half as likely to go to concerts as adults, much less freedom. Judging a fanbases age from their concertgoers is poor reasoning. Neutral Milk Hotel's maudlin, saccharin, abstract nonsense sounds great to teenage ears. I know, I was one.

>>71508778
>"twenty something."
That's not teenagers
>Judging a fanbases age from their concertgoers is poor reasoning.
You mean the people who care about the music enough to invest time and money in the experience of it?

If you *don't* go to concerts, you aren't really a fan.

it was like destroying the soapbox derby but then having to come out to everyone as a big tool

B -

>>71508143

this. Like most people it took me a while, but i got there eventually

Yes you all love it - it's mathematically perfect - yet if you played it in front of 1000 regular people who dont want to be admired for their taste in music they would either:

Wtf is this confused depraved awful crap? Who listens to this?

Not even pay attention for 10 seconds before it becomes background noise.

Its this amazing thing because it became popular to like something that no one else likes because you are better than those people.

Accept the truth.

Definition of an emotionally "perfect" album rather than a technically "perfect" album
Jeff isn't the most skilled musician or songwriter, but he makes very emotional and relatable music that is very good without being overly complicated.
