>ITT: Bad assumptions that you have made at one point.
I was first getting into Animal Collective, and I saw that this album was listed as "Noise Pop". I've only ever seen that term applied to bands like Pavement, so I assumed that it would sound similar to that.
I was wrong. So very wrong.

Your post actually reminds me of discovering Pavement after hearing them labelled as "indie rock", so I went into Slanted and Enchanted expecting it to sound like Arcade Fire.
Whoops.
>>63314660
that, because it was a meme, it was a bad album
actually pretty good
I thought this was average spork core. ie: it recycled a bunch of genres in rapid succession in order to appear "weird".
its actually very unique

I guess that just goes to show how arbitrary a lot of genre labels are.

It's pretty much useless to try and find something specific with. I like bands like GBV, Beat Happening, and The Halo Benders, but I have no idea what you would call their sound.
Thought this would be shitty soulless 70s prog wank with little feeling
Actually a great album that gives me some weird nostalgia, I like it a lot

This album is amazing
I was expecting black metal
>>63314922
awful album
I just saw Mac Demarco pictures on here and for some reason I assumed he was a white trash rapper
I went in expecting F#A#infinity, but then the 15-minute track where they tune their instruments happened and I lost interest. I gave it another chance, though, and it's been growing on me.

Just because it's sporky it doesn't mean it's bad, see The Molusk.
>>63314873
i think "twee" would be accurate
>>63316749
Thought this was going to have music in it. I was wrong.
Thought this was just another emo album
>now my favorite post-hardcore album besides Burn, Piano Island, Burn
I expected memes
I got memes
>>63315018
I was expecting something hardcore and aggressive, but still under the electronic umbrella
>>63315018
I wasn't expecting black metal, but something a lot more hard than what it is
>>63318202
exactly

I assumed your dad could handle my cock all the way up his ass.
I was wrong. So very wrong.

>it recycled a bunch of genres in rapid succession in order to appear "weird"
I mean, that's basically what it did. But it did a damn good job of it.
That's funny, because outside of all the harsh noise bits, Pavement is the biggest influence on this album.
Avey spent a ton of time dropping acid at Pavement concerts and he was in a band with Geologist and Deakin that was transparently a Pavement ripoff band.
