Wait... didn't you say this was Animal Collective???
Last I checked they were a bunch of monkeys playing with keyboards and synthesizers... What happened? I liked Strawberry Jam and MPP but this is just straight epic.
Despite being short as a whole, the album is jam-packed with awesome moments.
My personal favorite is probably What Would I Want? Sky
From the psychedelic intro to the sick background of "whatwouldIwant? SKY" halfway through the song, to the actually slightly reasonable lyrics, it is simply awesome.
But the amazing thing is, all of the songs on the album are just as good. It sounds like they are using actual instruments in parts of their instrumental portions of the songs... but I'm not sure, this being Animal Collective after all. If so, I wonder why they choose not to use instruments more often. Otherwise, those are some really good synthesizers.
This review is sort of like the album, short, but (hopefully you agree) good. |
