Listened to Strawberry Jam again today. Such a good record, but it can't beat this.

is this music? i can't tell, it's too boring. quite possibly the worst album i've ever heard, and i've heard a lot of terrible albums.

Only one word is needed here "Classic"....and for everyone not familiar with Animal Collective before this album, I know that to some they can be hard to swallow but once they are in you you will be addicted to them, just be patient with them ;)

Hmm idk, this is my first AC record and obviously parts of it are great; first two tracks, lion in a coma, bluish and brothersport. Dunno if its just me but the others haven't really sunk in yet. Think I'll be dropping this to a 3.5 when I review all my ratings but i'll give it more listens in the meantime and give it a fair chance.

Pulsing, ambient guitar strokes cascade over one of the most rhythmic tracks Animal Collective has ever written. ‘My Girls’ has a clear purpose and drive, something many AC tracks lose sight of in their distant pop orgies. Immediate ejaculation of Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys drives the anticipation of the build up and climactic “Wooooo!” to epic bliss. The subsequent release of huge, dribbling tribal drums coupled with 3 part harmonies erupt into a magical audio moment all over your face. If an orgasm could exist in a song, it would only serve as a reference to the nerve-pleasing sonic landscape erected when Animal Collective composes at the top of their game; evidenced here in the stand out track from Merriweather Post Pavilion.

this guy sounds like a troll kind of but endorsing a comment that says 'dissenting opinions aren't allowed' is kinda stupid :woop:

It's easy. When someone has a dissenting opinion, they are a troll to most of the community that liked the particular album, as honest as their answer may be. But, you can't do anything about them (dissenters) because, If you try, then you seem like a dictator, but if you don't they continue to "troll".
