In response to Lewis, I was thinking in terms of the bond between songwriting and production. On Sung Tongs the weird production blips and vocal quirkiness were the melodies and harmonies. On Strawberry Jam there was a lot more noise and errant sampling, but the production became increasingly disconnected from the chord progressions and actual sung melodies. The production goofiness was like ornamentation for an underlying, more standard sound. On that album I heard an unfortunate streamlining of their weirdness. It was like they had the production gimmicks to keep it weird when the backbone of the music was becoming safer. Now on MPP we have an album that is completely split into two pieces. Every song could easily be reduced to an acoustic version that has just been rendered into something characteristically AC by way of the production, instead of songs on their previous album where the process of creating the production quirks yielded the actual melodic and harmonic content of the songs. I hope that makes sense. To answer your second part, the reason I listen to AC is because they're doing weird original shit, some of it inspired, and some of it affected and lame. Like I don't want to hear their most mainstream effort. It's the same reason I listen to Xiu Xiu. If they ever put out a "safe" or "accessible" (whether intentionally or unintentionally) album I think I'd find myself turned off. Xiu Xiu's safest album is probably The Air Force and I hardly listen to it and prefer Fabulous Muscles and A Promise much more.

It makes sense it just seems like you're overanalyzing it. It's like "this album isn't challenging the boundaries of music therefore its not good."
