I played my Mum and Sister some Animal Collective yesterday. Both thought it was rubbish.
With anecdotes as shit as that, I'd be the King of Blogsville. |
You can buy a supply of toilet paper for a over a month with $ 20. My mum just told me that.
|
^^ you cracked me up again.
Listening to it seriously for the first time and it's nice. It's their most accessible actually. All they need now is an Ipod ad with their music on top and they're rich. |

How can you forget that?

i guess from working a 12 hour shift and then drinking a few glasses of wine made me forget. i just took a shower afterwards. i have to make sure it pick some up after work tomorrow. |
you didn't have any kleenex lying around?

Good album, but it isn't my favourite by the Animal Collective. Well, I only have this and Strawberry Jam, I prefer SJ to MPP.
|
I dunno about this album. Upon first listen I was glad to see they didnt drop a bunch of feels/starwberry jam tracks and liked it ok. Now, as I listen to it more and more I feel empty, waiting, struggling to hug something on this album. I'm lost in it, and I opt to wander around looking for the exit rather than the meaning.
|
Well, it is overproduced and a bit lifeless/soulless in parts, so I can see someone looking for something to try to hold onto when listening to it. You probably won't find anything. There's some really good songs on it though.

This talk of really good songs makes me bothered. I think really good songs like something that makes me weep or cry or laugh or FEEL or have that sensation crawling up my back. This defining of good songs by technical terms may have a place in the world of tool-wielders and mic-handlers, but for me it is a lost bargain. |
I think "Also Frightened" is a really good song and I like the hook in "My Girls" and that one with the keyboards. Daily chores or some shit. I think those are really good songs. The rest are.. you know.. I dunno. It's a decent though boring album. Pretty much what everyone was expecting.
|
in the flowers is my favourite song on it, I think.
|
i havent heard the album yet, but on my new radio show we played th studio version of brother sport that my co-dj played. that song is AMAZING and it sounds so much better in the studio that on the bootlegs
|
You can only overproduce a big amount of shit, nothing else.
|
Brothersport sounds too much like the Baha Men to me.
|
but in an extremely awesome way
the vocal melodies are really great |
You can be raised on a horse farm and shovel the poop of said horses all your life, so, basically you wouldn't know what shit smells like. Much the same with a lot of the music praised on this here forum.
|
the influence for the album was weather/water. thats why its so layered/textured.
|
......No matter what I say in response to that, it's going to sound insulting and sarcastic and start a weird argument so I'll just reply with
".........................................." and hope someone else takes the words out of my mouth and fights the good fight for me. |
