So I gave this album a second chance, it's kind of growing on me. I still think they are over-hyped imo.

They are overhyped. I think that's a fact.

that's not their fault.

and i titled this thread in reference to that... because i know thats how most SYGossipers feel about AC

It is their fault. For making pretty good music and being cute as fuck!

yr just jealous because Richard Bishop doesn't have Panda's boyish mouth

Let's see what the other sy gossipers think.

Who's hotter



or

The one with the bloody mouth.

I'm not sure I would fuck either of them for free.

Wait, what was the question?

you guys are perverted

Richard Bishop can't touch this shit:

Merriweather Post Pavilion is going to debut on the Billboard national album chart at #13 this week, selling nearly 25,000 copies last week alone (not counting all the early vinyl sales).

so they are essentially even with radiohead now... really wow.

Merriweather Post Pavillion is a terrible name for an album.

This is all.

she is hotter

wasnt merriweather post pavillion a title of a jethro tull album as well???

my girls.... that song is fucking amazing......... the penny dropped the other day whilst i was driving home from work. the rest of the album is still undecided for me.

for the Animal Collective fans here; a funky live video of their recent set in Paris. Enjoy.

I woke up twice in the middle of last night because of a bad dream about AC. In it a man with crazy eyes kept on asking me: ''Why do you listen to Animal Collective? They're shit!''.

it's time for you to come out of the closet. don't worry, Rob will still love you

Rob was the man, he grabbed my hand, and it felt like a daydream.

Fixed.

Ok, so this album is shit , right?

I'm tired of talking and reading about it to be honest.

To be honest I like 3 minutes of this album, maybe 2:58 to be precise. its a the last 3 minutes of track 5 (Daily Routine).

The rest of it, well yeah, AC write pop songs and cash in on the ''club drums'' as I've come to call them. Its not bad for the indie-pop shelf, just not really my thing. I see where they're going, catchy melodies, catchy keyboards, drums and bass that Kanye West probably will sample...its expected for something for '09, it seems like music you would hear from 2009.

But I am publicly admitting that I've developed an *unhealthy attachment to the last 3 minutes of Daily Routine, so lush, beautiful, chords that make me feel.

*(Some would say an unhealthy attachment is anything enjoyed or listened to more than a handful of seconds from this album, well I would agree, except for the aformentioned 3 minutes I heart.)

*farts*
