IGOR is a Musical Loop 🔁#shorts

Tyler The Creator's album IGOR is a narrative and musical loop. Here's how.

The audacity to not even play the loop together

Spotify shuffle: I'm gonna destroy this man's whole career

[jasonoh]

And the first major words from Tyler “For real this time” implies that he has fallen in love with the guy multiple times

[brax]

this album is one of the best modern examples of heartbreak in an album, the stages of heartbreak match up perfectly with the song order.

That whole if you stay friends it just resumes the painful loop... That hurt man... That hurt....

[aturnia]

You are a genius for ending the video with “and that’s how”. Perfect touch.

The more I learn about this album the more obsessed I am ugh such a work of ART!

It’s even deeper than this. The 6th track (roughly the middle of the album) “new magic wand” is in the key of F (Phrygian but whatever). If we treat the Eb in the beginning of the album as the tonic resolution, the album creates a ii-V-I (i) progression, one of the most common chord progressions. This could indicate that the IGOR cycle repeating itself was inevitable even towards the beginning

Pink Floyd did this for their 1979 THE WALL album. It ends with "Isn't this where-" on the last song and then when you listen to the album again it begins with "we came in?" creating a perfect loop and spreading the message of the wall never ending.

I see what you did with the end of that video 😉

Cole's analysis of Tyler the Creator's album IGOR is a video loop...

[VinzSolos]

Album is basically his story of him trying to get with A$AP Rocky when he's in love with Rihanna😂

[JupiterSun-]

This album is an absolute masterpiece- I can listen to the entire album right through & then over again, it’s so fluid & has great flow, storytelling, soundscapes, & lyrics

[bxnniewh]

Under all of Tyler’s idiocy and goofiness he’s literally so smart

[johnlukecampbell]

The loop is even crazier cause at the end of the song (are we still friends) it starts to die down, then at the beginning it’s full volume restarted. It’s like Tyler’s horniness is ramped up once more.

I love intentional artists; they’re not just geniuses, they’re perfectionists and obsessive. ❤

[jacobjallen]

Similar story with Pink Floyd's "the wall". The album starts and ends with the same piece of music, and the last song ends with the words "isn't this where-", while the first song begins with the words "-we came in?"

[croissantwrenchn]

He's done things like this on all his albums. He would always make one big story that loops together in different songs. One reason I've loved this guy for about 7 years

[jeff-dvqv]

love that on top of being an amazing album theres little things like this that isnt necessary and that a lot of people overlook but still help bring it all together

Coles analysis of Igor is a perfect loop. the final words work as the beginning to the video meaning that
