| Animal Collective Ranked Bigly
Tryna avoid controversy with this one. Also not counting Tangerine Reef since it's like an audiovisual soundtrack or whatever the fuck | 1 | | Animal Collective Merriweather Post Pavilion
Fun, arty indie pop with some neo-psych in there for flavor. Actually-good hooks, beautiful production, just solid all-around. 8/10, might even be an 8.5 who knows | 2 | | Animal Collective Feels
Starts and ends extremely strong, meanders a bit in the middle. 7.5/10 | 3 | | Animal Collective Centipede Hz
Sonically busy, electronic-leaning AnCo is good AnCo. Not especially memorable but it's really fun while its on. 7.5/10 | 4 | | Animal Collective Strawberry Jam
Has some very cool moments and overall it's more engaged than much of their preceding work, but no individual songs really grab me the way the best stuff on Feels does, and the sonic palette isn't quite as interesting as it is on Centipede Hz. 7/10 | 5 | | Animal Collective Painting With
Decent indie pop, no more and no less. Not as lush or catchy as MPP and more stripped-down than Centipede, but I still wouldn't make a stink if someone threw it on the aux. 6.5/10 | 6 | | Animal Collective Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished
Lots of people seem to think all the electronic squiggles and static make the indie-folk tunes underneath it all less plain-jane than they would be otherwise. I am not one of those people. Eh, "Chocolate Girl" is pretty good at least. 6/10, leaning towards a 6.5 | 7 | | Animal Collective Ark
I don't really care for AnCo's excursions into ambient music, but this still manages some interesting textures and compelling sonic contrast. 6/10 but I feel like it could maybe grow from there? | 8 | | Animal Collective Sung Tongs
a bunch of half-written song fragments played on repeat ad nauseum. Also one of Avey Tare's less likable vocal performances. 5/10 | 9 | | Animal Collective Danse Manatee
Basically all the most directionless and dull parts of STGSTV collected into an interminable slew of nonsense. 3.5/10 | 10 | | Animal Collective Campfire Songs
Hey aspiring musicians please do not attempt to play ambient music on an acoustic guitar because it gets extremely grating extremely fast. 2.5/10 | |

08.20.20 | "if Ryus were to tragically die, this list would be our best shot at resurrecting him"
hahah
but yeah those ratings on 7-10 make me sad :[ | Ryus
08.20.20 | i kind of thought the same about sung tongs for a while but now i think its great | Kompys2000
08.20.20 | I actually listened to Sung Tongs and Strawberry Jam one extra time each before making this cos I really wanted to give them a fair shot. Strawberry Jam is starting to very slowly grow on me, but I feel like Sung Tongs is more annoying every time I listen to it... | Colton
08.20.20 | at least we're all in agreement that Centipede is underrated | bloaf38
12.11.20 | not too shabby. It's all subjective anyway so there's really no wrong ranking but I would go:
feels>strawberry jam>merriweather>sung tongs>ark>spirit they're gone>painting with>centipede>campfire songs>danse manatee | Kompys2000
12.11.20 | Ark over SGTSTV is a ballsy move, I respect it | Lord(e)Po)))ts
12.11.20 | Painting with might be dead last for me | Squiggly
12.11.20 | Good ranking. I like your placement of CHz. Keep giving SJam a try! I hated it at first but now I think every song bar 2 or 3 is incredible. | evilford
