   I got through In the Aeroplane Over the Sea this morning to see what the fuss is about. The presentation was simple but the melodies were unconventional in a lot of instances. Beyond that and the lyrical choices, I'm not sure what to make of this. Can anybody with a more seasoned taste help me out?

   Also IDK, it was kind of a gateway album for a lot of people. The noisy clipped guitar and accordion drones kinda anticipated a popularization of noise and drone elements being used in more conventional genres. While it's a pretty /mu/-centric view I've seen the argument that ITAOTS was a roundabout influence on Death Grips' early to mid 2010s output. Like it seems kinda ridiculous idea and maybe suggesting a causative link isn't justified it does seem like there's a significant shared listenership there and on a production level there are some interesting similarities there.
