I agree with Ryan, it's better in its entirety, as is the majority of their albums.

And to expand on that, I really don't think a track like No More Running is awesome as a stand alone track, but this album wouldn't be nearly as good without it. To go from the frantic "Lion in a Coma" to "No More Running" to "Brothersport" is a pretty remarkable transition

I always find myself enjoying albums more that work as a whole, rather than just a collection of songs. The albums that, like you say transition from one extreme to the other seamlessly.

^...No way. False, false, false, false, false. Feels is easily the best thing AC ever put out and one of the best indie albums ever.

I haven't listened to Spirit in ages. Feels to me is just one of the brightest, colorful, energetic albums I know of and I can really listen to it as whole and appreciate the changing moods and textures.

Animal Collective are weird in that their albums always seem to start off with more contemporary indie pop and then venture into noise realms in the latter half.

Feels is a different record entirely than Spirit, and I think for what they're worth, both are equally as enjoyable.

Spirit seems a bit more of a mix of various different ideas and concepts being explored by Panda and Avey at the time.

I'd argue that Strawberry Jam covers and sums up the majority of Animal Collective's tendencies whether it be textural sampes, energetic indie rock, or their general poppy hooks.

Yeah. I got into Strawberry Jam a long time before I got into this.

Strawberry Jam is the most irritating AC album.
