I know this is supposed to be a best album of all time, I guess I’m not musically literate enough to understand why. There are some good songs, but it’s not nowhere near one of my favorite albums. This is the third time I’ve heard the album and I always have this same reaction. I know it was groundbreaking but personally I wasn’t wowed by it

One of my favorites, love the connecting music and themes, something about it is just always compelling to me. I can’t tell if it ends on a hopeful note talking about others trying to reach you through the wall, or if it’s pessimistic because it alludes to them giving up and then the album cycles back to the song at the beginning

Wow, I found this to be some boring, lame shit. I like this website but I feel like there’s a fair amount of awful chill indie shit on here. I love some indie but this ain’t it. To me all the songs are boring and sound the same, and the guys breathy falsetto voice isn’t my thing at all. Yuck.
