Water curses!
Followed by Feels.

SYRFox 10.06.2008 06:31 AM

Feels, for personal reasons.
Animal Collective is actually my second favorite band, after Sonic Youth

atsonicpark 10.06.2008 07:09 AM

I think Feels is by far their worst. Here Comes the Indian was the first I heard, and I like it a lot, but I voted for Sung Tongs because it's the one I listen to the most.

In my mind, they still haven't made their greatest album..

noisereductions 10.06.2008 07:12 AM

Yeah I must say--and I'm a big fan--that for some reason I tend to love their EP's even more than their albums. I have huge soft spots for WATER CURSES and PEOPLE especially. It's weird.

fugazifan 10.06.2008 07:33 AM

i agree with ATC on many many things, but i never got how someone can say that feels is not a great album...
so if you would like to explain why, id be much obliged

atsonicpark 10.06.2008 07:40 AM

It's pretty good, I just don't like that many songs on it. I think it's disappointing for them.

noisereductions 10.06.2008 07:46 AM

The only album by them I've still been able to "get into" is DANSE MANATEE. I dnt know, dudes. It just sounds so grating on my ears. Am I wrong?

batreleaser 10.06.2008 08:34 AM

i was damn close between dansee manatee, here comes the indian, and sung tungs, but i went with here comes the indian. damn theyve made some good records these last years. only one i dont ever listen to is prolly feels.

Derek 10.06.2008 10:15 AM

I voted Strawberry Jam because it's the one I like the most songs on...

they really haven't made a GREAT record yet, so much potential in that band.

valid 10.06.2008 10:34 AM

firstly, i must say straw jam is brilliant. I vote for campfire songs (a kinda tough record to find these days, but worth extra money) It is placid. It wisps around the walls and creeps into the back of my head like a soft parasite. There is something special about it's mode of recording (acousiti porch rock?>>) Spirit and Danse are next, but much respect for sung tongs. I like People a lot too. It's just the one song really but it's such a damn fine song. PEOPLE!

1. Yes, I almost voted CAMPFIRE SONGS myself. Damn good.

2. People is not just the one song... both versions are awesome, and the 2 other songs are great.

I think Danse Manatee is really great, probably in my Animal Collective Top 3. It sounds a bit like the second Liars albumfor me

valid 10.06.2008 11:41 AM

It all happens so fast with animal collective. It's as if they are three or four different bands , all of them good

SuperCreep 10.06.2008 11:48 AM

I went with Spirit. That one and Feels are the only albums by them I can listen to in full and be satisfied.

Silent Dan Speaks 10.06.2008 04:37 PM

I went with Strawberry Jam. Next I'd probably put Sung Tongs and then Feels. After that I'd go with Here Comes the Indian and that's all I have from them.

gmku 10.06.2008 04:45 PM

Feels is the only one I own. It didn't interest me enough to wanna pursue their other things.

StevOK 10.06.2008 04:53 PM

All I've listened to are Feels and Sung Tongs, but I'm downloading the others.
