Needless to say, whilst I enjoy Avery Island, I cannot fathom why people would believe it to be better than IAAOTS.
And please dont regurgitate the 'matter of opinion' shit at me, I know it is, and this is just mine.

THIS.
If Avery Island was the only record they released, they would be remembered as a good band nothing more. ITAOTS is one of the albums that helped shape who I am musically, I don't think I'll ever get tired of it, it's a classic.
