You'd probably listen to it through once, and then only listen to 3-4 tracks; meming

I listened to it in 1998, it was pretty big in indie circles soon after it came out.

>>74172903
I ironically unironically agree

Interestingly, in the 33 1/3 book on it, there's a section that talks about how people in indie circles loved the heavier, moodier feel of On Avery Island so much that they actually didn't like ITAOTS very much when it came out, and if I recall correctly, most of the band mates didn't like it much either

I remember when I first heard that album.
The year was 1777. It was exactly a year after we gained our independence from the brits. I was at a local pub and it was just me, the bartender, and a few other people who I didn't know. Out of nowhere I hear a lone acoustic guitar and high pitched vocals singing "When you were young you were the king of carrot flowers". I looked back to see a band behind me, I guess I didn't notice them setting up. I thought it was really gay so i turned back to my rum and not more than 2 minutes later I hear the lead singer shouting at the top of his lungs "IIIIIIIII LOOOOOOVVVVEEEEEE YOOOUUUU JEEEEEESSSSUUUSSSSSS CHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIST" "Good for you pal" i muttered. Then this fucker has the audacity to shout louder than he had previously "JEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSUUUUUSSSSSSSSSS CHRIST I LOOOOOOVE YOU YEEEEEES I DOOOOO" i retorted "Will you shut up?". The lead singer looked me dead in the eyes and I swear to god with all his might he thrust his arm down as hard as he possibly could on the guitar strings and shouted "IIIIIIIIIIIII LLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOUUUUUUUU JJJJJJJJEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSS CCHHHHHHHHRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTT" at this point everyone in the bar was looking at the band and a few people had come in to see what all the ruckus was but this guy still had his stare locked on me as for the second time he shouted "JEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSUSSSSSSSSSSSSS CHHRRRIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSTTTTTT I LLLLLOOOOOVVVVVVVVEEEEE YOU YEEEEEEESSSSSSSS II DDDDDDDDOOOOOOOO" after which the music became faster and he started singing about dead dogs. It felt like the walls were closing in on me, it felt like the music was inside me and bouncing around really fast. Also did I mention that this guy didn't blink once? No shit. They played 9 more songs and by the end I was in a fetal position, bawling. It was so beautiful. I didn't even know what most of this stuff was about but I loved it and still do.

I imagine it being as boring as listening to it in 2017.

MY MOUTH IS FILLED WITH HIS OVARIES

I did listen to it when it came out. I was in college at the time. I wasn't that impressed, and neither were any of my friends, many of whom were involved with our college's radio station.

The most popular albums that were released around that time were Tortoise's TNT, Air's Moon Safari, and some Elliot Smith album.

It was a meme by 2005 for sure, but not to the extent that it is now. By 2012 it was over.
