am i the only one who can't get into this band? i must be deaf.

Start with Fall Be Kind.

Don't start with Fall Be Kind.

Nah, people just think the album is so much better than it is, though it is kinda fun pop.

But that's interesting, I like the band's ethics.

Start with In The Aeroplane Over The Sea.

I think this is a band that if you don't like on first listens you'll never like. Correct me if I'm wrong.

corrected

You're wrong.

No, you're not the only one. They give me a headache. I think they're awful. Them...and Vampire Weekend. Bleh. Don't even get me started on them...

yeah definitely wrong. it took me SO long to get into them, but it's so rewarding once you do. I started with feels

vampire weekend = / = animal collective

band cannot lose panda bear for an album

I would enjoy a solo Geologist record.

Nah, the first time I heard Animal Collective it sounded like random noises with vocals. But now I really like them.

They're definitely over-hyped, but they aren't overrated, they really do kick ass, just not for everyone.

Don't start with Fall Be Kind.

Yeah I wouldn't make that mistake. Tried there first and it put me right off

will check out Sung Tongs...sounds like it may do better for me than Merriweather or Fall Be Kind did.

I'm looking forward to Tomboy more than anything. I'm convinced Panda Bear is the genius of Animal Collective. Anything Avey Tare did without Panda Bear cannot hold a candle to Person Pitch or Young Prayer.

I started with MPP and was immediately awed, but I guess it's not the same for everyone.

fuckin hippies.

glad i got to see them

you guys are silly. strawberry jam is definitely their best album. start with that

I started with Feels; I didn't like it, but i kept it. Then came back to it, and still didn't like it. Strawberry Jam came out, it was okay. I then went back to Feels and I loved it.

lol at the dramatic news title.

I second Strawberry Jam, it's very good for a first. I discovered these guys through the album, in my opinion it's very accessible.

the only song i liked was summer time clothes ..cant get into thier sound at all

Kind of hoping they said they were breaking up.

why

my first and best was Feels

Feels an Jam

The whole bands as animals thing was ok when anthony green did it......


But seriously, just use your real names to make overrated pop.

"They're definitely over-hyped, but they aren't overrated"
pretty much.

why

Cuz they suck.

I would not be content. While the record is really good, what made it so awesome is the future it suggested for Animal Collective. Now Merriweather would've been a perfect record to end off with. A perfect pop record would really just sort of seal what would be their amazing career.

they should make albums forever how about that

I think when they're gone, you should take their place and call yourself Animal Collective Jr.

i will probably do that

you would do that

band isn't good. idk why sputnik nutjocks them so hard.

Because they are good. Pretty much the most euphoric music there is.

I wouldn't go that far but

but this band is pretty bad.

Collective's okay. Not bad, but overrated and not nearly as good as other say

I try, but I don't really like them either

start with rawberry yam

Or just do acid.

can't talk about animal collective without acid coming up

^or mouth vomit

Am I the only one who thinks Animal Collective are pretty easy to get into?

depends what record you started with really

merriweather... i know i was late.
