MPP===best album of all time - Page 21

Animal Collective's ticket prices are about £10 less than tickets for Britney Spears, and about the same as Girls Aloud. That's pretty fucking wrong if you ask me, given that you're not even getting a costume change, let alone a dance routine.

Edit: This isn't really accurate, on reflection, but the ticket prices are still too steep for real humans.

there's nothing wrong with whining.

edit- especially when you know you're right.

and yes i did have a problem with the lp being thirty bucks. that's why i got the cd used for thirteen.

expensive shows are usually announced a couple months in advance, you could save $30 in that amount of time by walking around looking for pennies

That just means its quality is debatable.

Why so much bitching about ticket prices? It's not like they're Fugazi or anything.

Bollocks_to_Pop · 01.23.2009, 11:54 PM

I don't get the problem. I just paid $20 for tickets to see them (not counting the "convience fees" though). When I saw Dinosaur Jr when they first reunited I paid around $35. When I saw SY I paid $25 and $45 for the daydream nation show. I think AC have come out with an outstanding album and don't think that this ticket price whining is called for. Besides, I think they deserve the extra couple of bucks imo for creating an amazing album.

I'm only warning you kids about the damage you're doing to your ears. I bet that if you ask your mum about AC she will reply: ''Oh please sweetheart, what's this shit? Are you mad?''.

SYRFox · 01.24.2009, 05:07 PM

I discovered today that Pantha Du prince will open for them when I'll see them in March
I almost had a heart attack reading it
I fucking love Pantha Du Prince

noisereductions · 01.24.2009, 06:19 PM

I really like it so far. I think it's great. Don't know (yet) if I like it more than STRAWBERRY JAM or not. It's hard for me to really say I have a favorite AC album, because I like each in different ways. If forced, I might say SPIRIT is my favorite. Whatever. MPP is great.

StevOK · 01.25.2009, 01:17 AM

I still think Feels is my favorite AC album, but MPP has the most memmorable songs. I've had almost all of the songs from it stuck in my head at some point. The only thing that I really don't like on this album is the bass/low end stuff. It's all really one dimensional, and seems like the kind of bass that you would hear a mile away from a low-rider. I didn't notice it until I listened to it on my dad's stereo system yesterday, and I got scared that someone was going to call in a noise complaint on us.

schizophrenicroom · 01.25.2009, 01:20 AM

i just listened to their show in nyc from earlier this week and god, it was so good. i'm seeing them in june!

uhler · 01.25.2009, 01:34 AM

"youth of america" is better than anything animal collective can even think of creating. i just felt like saying that.

RdTv · 01.25.2009, 01:39 AM

Last time AC came local, I didnt see them because it was $20 tickets for a wednesday night show. A year or two earlier they were doing shows here for 1/4th that price. (thats $5.00 for a much more intimate venue full of people that will buy your records because they are good and not because they are Animal Collective)...true appreciation....PRICELESS
