What on earth are these guys so popular for? Just wondering before diving into their music
P..S. I'll give my thoughts on them afterwards.
I swear what makes that album special is impossible to put into words. Every time I try to describe it adequately I fail.
This board has a broken definition for the word popular
this album is so boring i almost fell asleep to it
You will never stop loving Phil Elverum and you will return to his darkness and brokeness every few weeks.

Its because its special for like 20 different valid reasons
this is still my favorite album of all time.
Now having under my belt around twenty listens, I'm beginning to really enjoy this album, after having experienced a significant lull in my appreciation for it after the first few. My favorite song from it is either Map or You'll Be In The Air.
How do you, unspecified anon, feel about this album now, and what was your opinion on it in the past?

I used to think it was the most amazing piece of art ever conceived but now I think its 9/10 at best.
Still one of my favorite albums ever
favorites - I want wind to blow, the track before samurai sword
least favorite - samurai sword

I can actually explain why. It hitch-hiked its way to meme status by piggybacking off of the ITAOTS meme. Contrarian shitposters would post this album as a superior or at least alternative 'classic folk album' so everyone came to know it and post about it.

I used to really like this album when I was heartbroken and depressed.
Nowadays I'm fine and it really doesn't interest me like it used to. You gotta be in a certain type of mind frame for this.

I've been able to enjoy this album regardless of my own disposition. The music is soothing

I think it's more of Jeff's voice is too rough and masculine, when he projects super loud you can really hear the power and passion he puts into it. Many numale lovers of the folk genre are put off by this quality of NMH, they would rather pick The Glow pt. 2 because their own singing voice is more reminiscent of the effeminate, weak & effortless singing by Phil
