In terms of quality, sure. However, while I love this album to death I think it will be forgotten. It received tons of acclaim when it came out but none of that spread to the public in any way whatsoever. At least a tiny bit of mainstream awareness would be necessary to really propel it to "classic" status. I barely even see people who loved it when it came out talking about it.

It seems like she's known among the right people though, and she does have more exposure than ever right now, no matter how small her part on We Are Young was. If she continues to create albums of this caliber, they'll be remembered. See: Bjork, Radiohead.

She probably could have cut the album down some. I liked it, but I always felt it was a tad too long.

I completely forgot that song existed  I think part of it has to do with her only having one mainstream release. If her next album even comes close to the quality of this one, I'm sure her status would be solidified a lot, and maybe she could approach those artists you mentioned.

To be honest, Tightrope sounds kind of out of place on the album. I love it, but it's the most easy to skip for me.
It's definitely long, but the fact that it's such a great/intricate story makes up for that for me. None of the tracks sound similar to each other, which also helps. I definitely agree it's more of a time investment than most albums, but there's people who like and dislike that.

Suite IV could seal the deal.

It is. Said million times before, but this album is for music geeks first and foremost. Not for everyone. Not the record that you could only bop to it, but it amazes you while listening from track 1 to track 18, "BaBopByeYa". Honestly, that's what I do every time I play this album.
No need to like this album to appreciate how great it is. Modern music at its finest.

I might drive home after this semester and listen to the whole thing again in the car.
I always feel exhausted by the end of it though.

Same.  It's such an epic rollercoaster of different genres, vocal styles and messages. It sadly won't be remembered as such, but it's definitely a classic.
I've been listening to some of her older tracks too from the Metropolis Suite I and "The Audition". They're all amazing.

It's a great album, but it got old for me. The only song I still use is 57821. So I can't call it a classic.

Do you have any GIFs of Tiziano looking sad/disappointed/emotional?

I'm not sure if it's a classic as it won't be remembered by many but it's definatley a masterpiece- my favourite album of the 2010's. Everything fits together so perfectly and her voice>>>>>. The Suite overtures create such atmosphere and songs like Cold War, Sir Greendown, Wondaland and Mushrooms and Roses **** all over the music industry
