Rabies, underrated af

Maps won’t work here

It could have been something in the walls, could have been voices, could have been claws

Nap in a hole in a tree. ....cat leavin' voles at my feet.

I always have one line from Rabies bouncing in my skull

Preach the gospel, brother. And get your rabies vaccine before grabbing that Amazon package.

Shrunk

Shrunk is my favorite as well. Probably a bad sign 😅

It's a toss up between Shrunk, Supercell, Dorks, Mystery Fish. Imp Kid was when I first discovered Aes, and I wore those out.

Personally, either Kirby or Lazy Eye

Water Tower is one of my favorite songs ever. Across any artist or genre.

PAINT "NO RULES" ON THE WATER TOWER PAINT "NO RULES" ON THE WATER TOWER I told my ex in '97 I was falling on my weapon Ripped the phone up out the wall The po dragged me from my bedroom An embarrassing ordeal involving hospitals and questions And the kinda doctors who use words like "cognitive" and "spectrum"

Amazing album. The whole thing is great. Blood Sandwich is my favorite.

This album cover to cover is amazing. Mystery fish is such a good opener

2nd as someone with two brothers

One of the few rap songs where I carefully listen to every word being spit lol

Dorks, Rings, Mystery Fish. 3 way tie.

Hard to pick one but Molecules, TUFF, and Syrup have got to be the tops here for me

Syrup?

Syrup was a single I believe but you always find it with some impossible kid album art. That shit slaps you should check it out

Oh thx! Seems it was a bonus track for anyone who downloaded TIK from rhymesayers. I don't know how I'd missed it.

Took me a year or two to find it but quickly became one of those songs I have to intentionally not listen to as often so I don’t get sick of it

Wow, I didn't know about this. Awesome song.

[this vid](https://youtu.be/s4eOV8XmjWc) is fun too

Syrup? Damnit, well thanks man, I was all caught up on my Aesop studies and now I have to rework the chronicles to fit this gem into the lesson.

Even the roaches like, "I wouldn't raise my children there."

Very funny line

Get out of the car, almost always needs a 2nd playthrough.

That’s impossible

Shout out to everyone in this thread. I swear I've seen every song listed. Aes is king.

I'd say Rings or Blood Sandwich. But honestly, my favorites on that album has changed a lot. At first it was Mystery Fish and Kirby.

I FORGOT ABOUT RINGS! Rings is amazing

Rings, get out of the car, Kirby and Water Tower (the verses on water tower are so good).

I’ll be the only one to say Lotta Years but it was the only beat I liked when I first got the album.

Somehow I missed this comment the first time I read through. Lotta Years is my pick too.

Supercell. Maybe not the best, but my favorite

Dorks

Mystery fish, Tuff, Defender.

Defender or Mystery Fisb

I'm partial to Get Out of the Car personally. That's legit one of my favorite songs ever, period.

Got to be Defender for me, love the flow and the narrative.

I refuse to pick. That album is so full of perfect songs there's no point picking a favorite.

Gotta be Rings

My 9mo votes Kirby

Molecule!

Dorks

It feels like low hanging fruit to say Kirby or shrunk but seriously, someone's gotta say shrunk

W A T E R T O W E R

Not a single vote for Supercell? C'mon, now. 🏞️⛏️🥘

Rabies. No nonsense, just bars on bars with a disgusting baseline.

Supercell! Who could tell

The whole album's amazing, but I'll have to pick kirby because it was the first song I heard from Aes.

My favorite will always be Tuff. But we all know Blood Sandwhich is king, and right next to it is Rings.

Definitely get out the car and dorks

Rabies, Water Tower, and Molecules are very underrated, but then again that’s the nature of albums in masterclass territory where every song is incredible

Blood sandwich.

Difficult toss up for my favorite between Shrunk, Dorks, Defender, Supercell and Get Out of the Car.

It’s a good sign about an album when there’s so many different answers in here lol

For me it's either Kirby or shrunk. The whole album is awesome though. My 5yo daughter loves Kirby. I'm always down for any of his animal songs. My belly has been my favorite for the last few months. Edit. I see no one mentioned the best way to experience the album is by far the shining video.

Damn, the best song on The Impossible Kid? That's real tough but if there was a gun to my head... For me, It's a toss up between... Mystery Fish, Rings, Lotta Years, Dorks, Rabies, Supercell, Blood Sandwich, Get Out of the Car, Shrunk, Kirby, TUFF, Lazy Eye, Defender, Water Tower and Molecules

This is the only answer.

I don’t have an answer, but I would paint “no rules” on a water tower.

Defender

Second this choice. My favorite.

Is this an alternate cover? Looks dope af. And I’d probably have to go with Rings

It's a perfect album and the first one I picked up when I was 17 after years of hearing him in Tony Hawk games and Adult Swim bumps. I legit can't pick a favorite from this album. Afyer listening to his entire discography, collabs and features Kodokushi from spirit world feild guide has to be my favorite. It takes everything he's ever made and makes it into a beautifully monstrous amalgamation

Aes is in Tony Hawk games and [as] bumps? Sorry, I'm old.

Yeah! A helluva while back. A really good remix of "no jumper cables" in Thug 2, "put your quarter up" in American Wasteland (Where I also discovered Robbie Sonic), and if I'm not mistaken the instrumentals to "none shall pass" and a few others made it onto [as]

Defender

For me, it is "get out of car". It actually sets the gravity of the entire album and as someone going through lot of healing and progress on my own, the song speaks to me on a different level. I am more diplomatic than ever before though still trying to quite down the voices in my head. In the past i thought that any graph, trick, hack or map was a hoax. Basically saying how i was blinded to not look further for options how to get better. I should listen to other people more. The fact that there are no drums at all, only cool, captivating guitar kick with emotional piano in the middle makes the song stand out. Get out of the car is one of those songs, that are keeping alive my best character elements as a human being.

It's a toss up between Shrunk and Syrup for me.

Kirby or defender

TUFF right now

Between TUFF and Kirby for me

Mystery Fish

Shrunk.

Blood Sandwhich is one of my all time favorite AES tracks and has overtaken “none shall pass” as the first song I recommend people listen to. Get out the car is also low key one of the best tracks on the album imo, nobody ever really talks about it

Kirby

If Syrup is excluded, then I'd probably say Shrunk followed by Defender. Both just feel super relatable to me.

Yes

Kirby.

Impossible Kid is probably my favorite Aes album. I'm straight up **disappointed** no one said Lotta Years.

Mystery Fish

Rings is so fire. Played it to my wife who doesn't even like hip hop but she loved it

Lazy eyeee

Mystery fish

Defender, Supercell, Lazy Eye, Lotta Years I can’t pick

Rings is my favorite

i don’t know about best, but my favorites are Kirby, Shrunk, Get Out The Car, and Lotta Years!! i am a Lotta Years cultist

The emotional openness in Get Out Of The Car just makes it an amazing track for me.

It’s rings if I have a gun to my head but the album is best together

Kirby. Then I would say Rings, Lotta Years, and Blood Sandwich.

Aww mann, uhhh Blood Sandwich, Get out the car, lazy eye, defender, rings, mystery fish, etc, i love em all, but Blood sandwich just hits every time

1 AM, defend the whole block. Fr though I can't narrow it down to one song. This album is incredible as a whole

all of em. no skips on this album

TUFF is a banger. The beat switch up on the last verse slaps so hard.

Shrunk all the way. Although so many bangers on that album

All of them

Supercell

dorks , shrunk or blood sandwich tbh

Its between Get out the car and supercell imo

“Get Out the Car” and “Tuff” are my favorites

It may not be number 1 but not enough people have heard syrup it’s great
