The Animal Collective is Awesome Thread

post #1 of 15

Feels is what got me into them... Strawberry Jam is probably my favorite album from them. There's not a bad track on there. MPP is decent as well, Girls is a sweet track. I've got some of their older stuff (Sung Tongs, Here Comes the Indian) but I can't really get into it. How about you guys?

love their new album.. like some of the songs on strawberry jam.
don't know too much of the rest of their music.. I think I need to give it time considering how different/strange it is.

Like MPP the best, Panda Bear's solo album second, Feels third

I think that AC has 2 different styles- Spastic, energetic loud AC and slow, psychedelic, folky AC. Feels is more of the latter, and I loved it, but I prefer the former.

1. Sung Tongs
2. Strawberry Jam
3. Feels
4. MPP
5. HCTI

AC continually blows my mind, but I was a little disappointed with MPP. I think they were calling it their "pop" album. Hopefully they'll move away from that a bit in the future.

Wondering if anyone out there dug the first Avey Tare and Panda Bear record, Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished? It was pre-Animal Collective…kinda the one I hooked into, even moreso than the later stuff.

I am with this gent. I semi-liked MPP at first, now listening to it more often.

FWIW, there is a 180g release of MPP, which I have, that sounds great.

really REALLY enjoying MPP. "taste" is just a finely textured song.

more reverb than a yodler in the grand canyon.

I second the vinyl sounding great.

Here Comes the Indian is probably my favorite by them. Spirit... is a great record by the way.

I really enjoy pretty much every thing they have done, both as a group and individually with Panda Bear and Avey Tare. SJ is my favorite, followed by Person Pitch, then MPP, then Feels, here Comes the Indian, and Sung Tongs.

Their "Fall be kind" EP is also AWESOME.
