Tyler, The Creator's New Album Igor Has Some Rules To Follow For Your First Listen

Tyler, the Creator's new album, Igor, is finally out. That's one piece of the news. The second, identically key part, is that whenever you listen it, you've got to listen to it in a very particular manner; "No skips. Front to back. No intrerruptions either," he wrote in a special note on Twitter on the eve of the LP dropping. So take that into consideration today as soon as you're basking in the fifth studio album comprised of songs that he produced, wrote, and arranged himself (also revealed in the same note). Follow the instructions.





Igor is different from anything else that Tyler, the Creator has ever released. So this pink note in question lays out exactly what to expect once listening to it: don't expect anything. "Igor. This is not Bastard. This is not Goblin. This is not Wolf. This is not Cherry Bomb. This is not Flower Boy. This is Igor," the note reads.


The LP credits no features, although Playboi Carti sings on "Earfquake" and Kanye West's voice can be heard on "Puppet." The 12-track album features the whole versions of previously teased tracks, “Igor's Theme,” “Whatsgood,” “A Boy is A Gun,” and “New Magic Wand.” On Twitter, he announced that the vinyl will be accessible in "a few weeks."


Tyler gave an exhilarating Twitter countdown to the LP's release last night; he was clearly as exhilarated as fans were. He tweeted at 50 minutes, then 40, 30, 20, and 10 before then posting one every minute up until the clock struck 12. His last was "ONE MINUTE FUCK" before posting the link to the album. Right now that the new Creator music has arrived, the two-year wait (not counting "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch") since Flower Boy is finally over.


Check out Igor up above and remember, no expectations.
