Why is this particular album THE /mu/core album above all others? Not that I dislike it, just why this and how did that come to be?
because its a meme while simultaneously being great. A rare combo

can we actually fucking discuss music

You're far from the only one, the people who dislike this album is in the minority.
And that's from someone who thinks it's an "okay"/10.
forced meme but its a good album
>>74604202
You are not alone, this is unironically my favourite album.

It's an autistic guy singing about his underage waifu from the 1940's

This
Plus it's a 90s indie folk album praised a ton by p4k, which makes for the quintessential /mu/ album
Can't stress over how important p4k used to be for /mu/, feels quite funny now
It was once a relatively obscure album that started getting a lot of attention in the late 2000s, right around the time /mu/ was coming into its own. Its unique ability to bridge the gap between memes, hipster appeal, and great music made it the perfect album for /mu/ to form its identity around.

P4k's praising of it isn't any different than it praising any other album it has retroactively given a 10, it's just another example of them having meme opinions
That said ITAOTS is obviously a great album

I love it. Don't listen to it very often anymore but it's an amazing album.

It's actually a very good and unique album. There's a reason so many online communities have bonded over it.

Probably my favorite album ever, none quite like it
>>74603173
It's just that great man (and I guess easy to listen as well)
