Tyler's singing is very intentional. He's said in multiple that he knows he isn't the greatest singer, but he sings anyway because it's raw and sincere. Nowaday's it isn't about "how good you can sing" and being a technically proficient singer, but rather the emotion you can convey with your voice. Something Tyler does very well when he "sings"

[@aarondeyoung6315]

Almost like bob dylan

[@dylanrodriguez-rb3ud]

​@aarondeyoung6315 I almost forgot about him, he impacted me and my father a lot. Music is very powerful

[@nickn4672]

just to make the storyline clear, for if yall dont know it, Igor is the symbolization of the character igor who was dumb and followed his master no matter what. Thats how tyler feels abt his love interest, thats why the track puppet. Tyler also think he cannot live without his love interest, thats why the DONT LEAVE on earfquake. A quick summary: Tyler is in a love interest, where his crush says he likes him, but has a secret girlfriend, thats why the line "Why the f*ck you're ex here?". Tyler thinks he will always fall in love with this guy again over and over, making the album a loop.

[@linkvov]

adding to this the last note of the last track and the first note of the first strack work together if you let it play on loop so its a perfect loop

[@qxzucn3429]

[@gabagooloverhere6647]

Shame you guys didn't fuck with it. To me it's a legit perfect album but I can also see where you guys are coming from. This is one of those albums i can just play from start to finish and not skip a track. Maybe it'll grow on you guys.

I love Igor because it depicts how someone can become a 'monster' for love, from trying to sing romantic songs (even Dad noticed how he tried to sound melodic but it doesn't get it right), being desperate, to becoming a total psycho, throwing everything off, feeling regret and then trying one last time to save the bond + everything looping perfectly, damn One of those albums that the more you listen to it, the better it sounds

[@day2daywithkay]

Honestly this album is a grower. The first time I heard this album I only liked Earfquake and I Think. But recently my music taste started to evolve and I decided to give this album another chance. It’s a heart break album but seeing him perform it live changed the energy of the whole album and THATS what made me love this album as a whole. P.S. I used to not like New Magic Wand but after seeing it live… yeah😂

[@jwustrau420]

​@@Alby.same with Earfquake, New Magic Wand and the first half of Gone Gone

[@astronut181]

I feel like dad was pretty spot on with the album being about creativity and artistry. In an interview of Tyler's he mentioned that he loves making "moments" in his music/production meaning he likes to make certain parts of the track only appear once or for just a few bars instead of looping it to make those moments more meaningful. He does it a lot throughout this project and I think this album is definitely a grower, I wasn't super fond of it on release but now I love listening to it all the way through with no skips.

[@brodyreyes3235]

[@jordanp7155]

This album isn't really supposed to be a rap album, its more of an experimental/alternative album(hence him not rapping that much). Pops will definitely love call me if you get lost(hopefully plus the estate sale) it's imo his best album taking everything he's learned production and rap wise and combining it into being his best work

Igor and flower boy are both better than CMIYGL, but it’s still a great album.

Igor isn’t about songs that are meant to make the playlist. Tyler listed very specific instructions that you listen to songs in order all together because it’s an over arching story. You don’t just randomly pick a song and put it on the playlist. It’s supposed to consume this together. The album is a package deal. 1:03:24

[@CurlInfinite]

[@jakeshaju160]

ok, if you want some insight about this album, its a love triangle, with tyler liking this guy, and a girl liking this guy. And its a whole lotta emotions he goes through, from start to end, like crushing on him, and thinking he needs to convey his love fast before he gets taken, and panicking about what to do, thinks of killing the girl who was being the hurdle for him, realising that he is a puppet to him because he influences his well being so much, he gives in, ultimately realises this is not good for him, says goodbye to the love, and lastly , thinks that its better to have him as a friend than to not having him at all...and thats how the album ends, but there is musical technicality, which makes this album a loop. So the synth which ends the last song is actually incomplete and doesnt finish the song musically, but the synth in the first song of the album completes it, making it a loop. which means that, if he remains friends with this guy, he may have to go through all of this again because being around him may light the feelings back.

[@nickn4672]

haha this is literally my first reaction, but since then i have grown to really like this album, but yeah, i do thinks pops will like tyler's next album more since its rap, my personal favorite

Although I’m 17 and the first time I listen to Igor was when I was 15, I had the same reaction to Igor just because I was so used to 70s,80s,90s music and hearing a heavy loud synth music with pitched up vocals really didn’t sit with me but when you just keep giving it a try IGOR changes your whole life yall needa give it a try this album is just perspective it’s like rock mixed with elements of soul pop and hip hop I love y’all channel tho and I jus knew Unc was gon hate it 😂

This album was a grower cause 1st listen I couldn't hear any of the words, I was so focused on the instruments. I was confused on why everyone loved it, I gave it some like a week before 2nd and 3rd listen. Once I knew what to expect and the story that was being told I was like ok I understand why people liked it and now it's my favorite Tyler album.

[@okbyefelicia99]

14:32 When your dad pointed out that Charlie Wilson should’ve had a more prominent role in Earthquake, because they payed a lot of money to feature him, I get it from a financial point of view. But I think if you listen to the Vinyl/ CD version of the song, you listen to the hidden track Boyfriend, which features Charlie Wilson as well and highlights his vocals more. I think for that track Tyler gave him more room and you can listen to the classic Charlie Wilson runs. I think in General that Tyler didn’t stretch it too much with the features, because it wouldn’t quite fit with the caricature of Igor.
