Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound Off

here comes the indian is their best album and spirit isn't too far behind so

you're not far off, spirit and indian are tied for their best on a personal level but Feels is objectively their Magnum Opus

Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound Off

yeah feels and indian are my favs

Album Rating: 2.5

'Feels' is excellent but I believe the band were most impressive when the stakes were raised, 'strawberry jam' and 'Merriweather' were a genius way to develop their sound and imo without compromise



'Spirit' and 'Indian' have their moments but the production is too thin and tinny on both for me to enjoy all that much. I loved 'spirit' for the first few months I owned it but it's one of those albums that is so different to the rest of the band's work I don't really see it as an AnCo album

Album Rating: 2.5

Strawberry Jam is the pinnacle for me. They may never recapture the feelings they laid out on that album. I like Merriweather a lot, but they've move in a less enjoyable direction since then, imo.

Album Rating: 2.5

Yeah, 'strawberry jam' is the one I most enjoyed when it was released. I have 'feels', 'jam' and 'Merriweather' all 4.5'd so there's not a lot between them, all favourites

"'Feels' is excellent but I believe the band were most impressive when the stakes were raised, 'strawberry jam' and 'Merriweather' were a genius way to develop their sound and imo without compromise"

hilarious but ultimately predictable opinion from you doofus. merriweather is their most vanilla ass hipstery album to date and strawberry is their worst other than dansee.

Album Rating: 2.5

surprised you dislike Strawberry that much



this one is easily their most vanilla album now

okay aside from this one cuz i havent heard it yet but yeah

and strawberry jam is basically the stuff of nightmares and terrible acid trips and a satanic circus

I can't see strawberry jam as their 2nd worst

nobody cares what you cant see

Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound Off

strawberry jam and merriweather are near 5s too

spirit indian and sung tongs are all 4.5s feels is a 5

Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound Off

tbh everything from indian to merriweather is either a 5 or just below a 5

nah dude merriweather is good but its super hipstery lite whatever and even tho i have learned to mildly enjoy strawberry after hating it for a long time its like a 3.5 at best for me

Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound Off

honestly idc the whole culture that surrounds merriweather i genuinely just think its some of the best music ive ever heard

i didn't even like it that much at first either, the first listen or two i probably would have given it like a 3.5. as ive gone through high school and grown up with it though i feel like ive slowly started to understand a lot of the emotions that went into it a lot better and i think theres actually a lot of depth to it that people gloss over cause its a pop album. if anything, just the fact that it was sort of the soundtrack to my life for a while when i was going through a lot of changes emotionally and mentally, i don't think im ever not going to think its an incredible album

"honestly idc the whole culture that surrounds merriweather i genuinely just think its some of the best music ive ever heard"

i mean yeah thats fair, its not like i dislike it solely because of the culture, in fact i enjoy it, i just dont think its really that progressive compared to stuff like indian and spirit, those albums pushed boundaries and thats kind of what animal collective was about for me and what i continue to expect from them, but with MPP forward they slowly kind of stopped doing that.

bare in mind i still have it 4'd.

Album Rating: 3.0

While the main appeal for most of their albums was the sound experimentation, I found MPP to be an uplifting, happy pop record that still ha that AnCo flair more than anything. It just makes me so happy, I can't help but consider it my favorite album by them.
