i can't wait. been listening to live versions of the songs on the album and it sounds pretty good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I bet it leaks super early. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
me too. finally someone mentions a good band on here. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think there's a new song out now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you haven't heard it, you have to. its glorious. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Are you talking about Brothersport or the whole album? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
brother sport. i've had that on repeat for the past couple of days. its very tropical sounding. ac can do no wrong. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
brother sport is fucking amazing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ooh, just listened to brother sport. god damn i'm loving animal collective atm. water curses still puts the biggest smile on my face. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
am i the only one who finds these guys extremely overrated? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in what sense? how are they overrated? what is said about them that is just over the rate at which they shall be rated? please. elaborate. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh. when i first heard them i absolutely hated them and thought they were the biggest bunch of pretentious douches. but i gave their albums a chance and really started getting into them. would hardly call them overrated if people are actually getting into them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
overrated in the sense that it seems they are always praised in every review i have ever read. strawberry jam got a 9.2 on pitchfork. I have tried several times to get into them and just cant. i even saw them live at the apw festival in nj and had to leave their set because it was literally just a wall of incoherent noise. i saw people with their fingers in their ears. |

good logic |

| |||||||||
|
|
good logic |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ha, 9.2 for strawberry jam is a generous rating :) i mean, i like the album and all, but that is higher than what i'd give it. sung tongs on the other hand.. also! yeah. i've checked live clips on youtube and absolutely hated what i saw. bunch of pretentious wanker scene kids standing around with their eyes closed. i think one of the guys had a light strapped to his head, and he was looking all cool and really getting into the music, and all he was doing was controlling a mixer!? either way, yeah, i don't like their live stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't like brothersport that much. and i bet they are a right bunch of twats |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i guess its expected for a bunch of elitist dorks who only listen to electronic music to hate on a great band. whateves. if any of you idiots hasn't heard person pitch, you're missing out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If you guys want something truly overrated to be pissed about, have a listen to Dan Deacon. You get the sweaty hipsters, the indie cred, AND the electronics. YAY! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you guys are gays, animal collective are fucking amazing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im not elitist by any means. i listen to electronic music the least of all the genres i enjoy. i do love person pitch however, but i find that to be pretty far from the mastubatory nature of ac. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
can't like everything. why not assume that people who like music that you don't like like it for the right reasons instead of the wrong reasons? or better still, why not just let people like what they like without putting them down for it or assuming the worst? ac is unique, surprising, discombobulating, overwhelming, delicate, sometimes all at the same time, sometimes one after the other. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
agreed |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think of all the stuff i've heard by them i've only really goten into one track and that was Peace Bone from Strawberry Jam, haven't given them the proper listen i should though... guess i'll be doing that in due time |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Leak Alert! Back to the dense shitwall style, with plenty of bloopy bits and Panda Bear choruses. It's unique and surprising, discombobulating and overwhelming.. and that's before I even press play! Two weeks from now has never sounded so good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just got done listening. i must say.... it sounds like nothing anyone has ever heard before. so good. surprisingly danceable. FUCKING AMAZING. hello best of 09. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmmmm. got the leak and i'm not too big on it. seems a bit too processed at times. (especially the vocals) i guess a part of it is me hearing the live versions pack some person made up on soulseek. the 6th track is something completely different and was one of my favorites live. the lyrics to the 1st song seem awful and awkward to me compared to the live version i had. i'm very critical of electronics in bands. overall it's decent. could go either way. maybe i'll feel different in a while but i'd rather listen to their other albums or the live version of these tracks pre-album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the first track is great, good melody/riffs, but the other tracks never reach this grandness. it does have its moments on there for sure, some really good ones too, but i still think ultimately the album could have been much better. it seems a little forced trying to be all happy and woohoo but the melodies just dont warrant this, the sound / production is more gripping than the content of the songs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it sounded nice on the first listen |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the first song, especially before the heavy drumming - is simply amazing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love it. this album is my best friend right now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
disappoints me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow. this mb sucks. you people post the stupidest shit and finally when there is something to talk about it, the whole lot of ya don't like a fucking great album. good music is good music. don't fucking cling to your eLeCtRoNiC muzic rawks mindset. open your mind. listen to this album. you can't pin it to anything. its totally new territory as far as music goes. fucking dorks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So according to you, anyone who doesn't like this music is an elitist dork? Wow, how very elitist of you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
For the record, I haven't heard Animal Collective, but they've got you to thank for totally ruining any interest I might have otherwise had. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol awesome post |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
durr. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's an album where a band embraced electronics 99.9% percent. radiohead did it and many bands have done it before. it's not a big deal if others don't like it. don't be an idiot about it. in the words of elusive "get out of my thread" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's a pretty weak album though, vs their old ones. their songwriting isn't anywhere near as inspired as the previous shit, they're using the electronics as a crutch here. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol, i knew it. i havent heard it yet and i hope it changes my opinion on them but holy shit pitchfork shoves more fingers inside them than radiohead |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"...where the churning electronic sound, with its fizzes and echoes and underwater cast, brings to mind altered states and the confusing gap between the familiar and the strange, the words seem like a running commentary on the essential mystery of being alive." wtf |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've heard and liked enough indie music for the rest of my life |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i must confess that this is the first thing i have heard from them that didnt make we want to turn it off. and track 2, holy balls. thats is killer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
people bought this yet? got my vinyl on the way. from the leak (not so leaky anymore) its brilliant. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, its good shit. Enough said. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Fabulous... just fabulous. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's not normally my cup of tea but I really like this album a lot. Takes about 6 plays to really get into though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nonsense. you're going to need at least eight plays, and a strobe light. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really couldn't get into their previous albums, mostly because their 'quirkiness' seemed a bit too calculated to me. i felt like they were trying hard to update mercury rev's sound of the early 90s ('yerself is steam' and 'boces') for the 21st century. but i like this. it's original and sounds less forced than previous albums. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree, i have really disliked just about everything they have done before but this record is blowing me away. i think its their most electronic album to date but it feels the most organic and natural. |
