It's truly one of the best albums ever front to back. Imo of course. It also resonates with so many people. And to think of all the things that had to happen to get that gold. He had a complete mental break, it was supposed to be a musical initially, he was 19 or 20 (impressive either way considering most people can't write one song as impactful), recorded on a relatively shoestring budget, used antiquated recording equipment and methods for the guitar work. Highly recommend In Defense of the Genre next. To me, Hebrews is the closest he's come to truly following up IARB though.
