Do you really feel completely sastified owning all of those records or do you wish for more? I have realized that I can enjoy when i am limited to one thing, one record. i enjoy having an image in my mind of the band playing on that album, its not how they actually look or play, but that doesnt matter to me because its all about how I interpret the listen, its using ignorance for self-pleasure.
I do this with other bands to such as my bloody valentine and jesus and the mary chain, if i find that i love the record and am creating my own beautiful interpretation of it, i will only listen to that so as not to spoil that ecstasy...
so i will not be buying any animal collective albums anytime soon, but i still love their music...

No, you love their first LP. If you open up to more albums from a band, not just one "magical" release, you'll probably get a lot more pleasure out of listening to them. You don't have to love all of their music of course, but a band like Animal Collective that's fairly young is still deffinitely at the point where they're progressing with their sound a lot, especially a band that does so many interesting things with their music.
