| OMG yeaaaaaaa! |
It had a crazy-amazing radio ad. (You can hear a bit of it during the South Bank Show episode on the band, featured on the Chronology deluxe DVD.)
It inspired Jonathan Lethem to write one of the best 33 1/3 books. (Seriously, you need to read it if you haven't.)
It made Dadaist poetry a thing to adapt to song. ( "I Zimbra", best opening track ever!)
It actually got a Grammy nomination for its artwork. (sweet holy everything, Jerry Harrison almost got a Grammy*.)
Everyone kinda forgets this album exists, since it lives in the shadow of Remain In Light. (cue joke, har-har)
With songs like "Life During Wartime", "Heaven", and "I Zimbra", what's not to love? I even like "Animals", the only blah track. (Not a bad song on this fine circle of vinyl, y'all)
The opening track was the equivalent of this famous meme. (See the video for reference)

Keep on going, Fear of Music. You're the one that made me fall in love hard with the band.
*Okay, I know Mr. Harrison wouldn't have gotten the Grammy, since it was another dude that was nominated... but I like to think he would've sorta spiritually got it since he did design the cover.
*meme does not belong to me*
