strawberry jam, great title and the best album in 2007. sung tongs is even better though.

i dont get the anti feels. i love it. strawberry jam is excellent and sung tongs, the first half is great the rest forgettable.

I don't get the anti Feels thing either. Sung Tongs is not that great by any means. It was the album that got me into them and I don't even understand why now. Visiting Friends is shit compared to the long ambient pieces on Here Comes The Indian.

feels isn't bad, it's just their worst, i think..

strawberry jam is great, shame i missed them last month when they played here.

spirit they've gone, spirit they've vanished is still my favourite, i love that album. chocolate girl is amazing

i'm a god over on the animal collective boards

lolz crypto....you certainly changed the dynamic over there

A Frustrating and Brilliant band in equal measures, which is the mark of something special

strawberry jam has some really great moment (cukoo might be the culmination of everything that they have done up to this point.)
some so so (jack the ripper) and one crap(#1)
but i still really love it. feels is still my favorite though.
such a perfect album.
one of my favorite bands.
our newest song that wee wtrote a few days ago, has a really cool animal collectiveey scream part done by me...

That Coronet Theater show made the rounds as a torrent, as did some others.

i kind of feel that animal collective are a special band.

highly experimental and weird, but still very accessible and listenable.

its many of these types of bands who stand the test of time, velvets, beach boys, my bloody valentine, sonic youth, etc...

# 1 isn't a crap song. it's my favorite, actually...

i probably said this elsewhere, but i think every song on strawberry jam is better than the song before it.

thats interesting...i gotta agree that Derek is fantastic, especially as a closer...but there's something about Fireworks that makes it better than Derek...I think its because I knew AC could write a song like Derek, and then Fireworks is this thing of a different nature...almost like a ballad, and its just so singable...

maybe crap was an overstatment but something about it urkes me the rong way.
that keyboard riff just really annoys me.
derek is fantastic though

Strawberry Jam really grew on me over the months more and more and if anything, I think I like Cuckoo Cuckoo the least just because of how much better the live version sounds to me.

They are on the Conan replay tonight.

I listened to Haverford '05 again last night while watching football with muted sound and it's a really good audience recording.

Charlottesville '07 isn't too shabby.
