Strawberry jam is Animal Collective's best album. Argue this with me.
DUDE BONEFISH LMAO
But anon, that's not STGSTV
>>65673600
Did you mean to say Campfire Songs followed by HCTI followed by Sung Tongs followed by Hollinndagain followed by Strawberry Jam.
If so, I agree
>>65673676
STGSTV is my second favorite. I also happen to to think that Danse Manatee is underated. Not one of they're best but still good in its own rights

I like every single one of their albums though
God that album cover always makes me hungry

Where's MPP?
>>65674089
Holy shit how'd I forget that one.
Equal with SJ
MPP > FEELS > STGSTV > everything else
>>65675567
pretty bad taste
Summertime Clothes is their only good song
>>65675630
It isn't even the best song on MPP, which isn't even close to being their best album
Also Summertime Clothes is their most normie-friendly song along with My Girls, so what does that say about you?
>>65675674
That I have a good taste that doesn't need to be ruined by normies and what they like
>>65675686
Well, I didn't say normies liked it because they don't (in my experience), it's just if I wanted to try and get someone who wasn't "into music" into AnCo, I'd show them one of those two songs.
In any case, they have a lot of songs that are leagues better than Summertime Clothes

I know it's probably an unpopular opinion, but SJ is not so great imo. It contains some solid songs (Chores, Peace, Cuckoo), but also terrible ones, (Unsolved could have been on CH, Derek just feels out of place and should have been put on a solo Panda album, and I dislike #1 and Winter Wonderland). Also, the gimmick of singing "ouuuuh ouuuuh" in falsetto on most of the song of the album just gets annoying. The worst part is that I fucking love Water Curses, the EP is much much better than the album, especially if you add Safer in it.
How does one get into AnCo? Everything sounds horrible.
objectively correct rating coming through

what type of stuff do you like?
>>65676975
I like a lot of stuff, but I always see Animal Collective popping up in recommendations for me.
Not sure what's linking me to them. Microphones? of Montreal? Dinosaur Jr.? Dan Deacon?
>>65677026
I guess I should've asked what albums you've tried too
here are a few albums I think you'd like right now though
>Sung Tongs
freak folk with a lot of emphasis on vocal intertwining, probably the closest you'll get to The Microphones
>Feels
their most typical 'indie rock' record. lots of people love it, so you should try it. I think it's insanely overrated.
>Strawberry Jam
the closest there is to of Montreal and Dan Deacon other than maybe Centipede Hz or maybe even Painting With, typically considered their best pop album alongside MPP
then, if you're willing to go into odder territories
>Here Comes the Indian
animalistic psychedelic noise rock
>>65676975
>objectively correct rating coming through
>>65677084
Thank you friend, I will give them a listen.
Will help me get through the day.
>>65677099
>implying it isn't
>>65677101
no problem anon, hopefully you manage to get into them
just saying, HCtI definitely isn't the best one to start on though
>>65673600
Why would I? You're right, and dubs confirm it.
fuck it

>>65677110
in fact, I'll give you more advice
start by going Strawberry Jam -> Feels -> Sung Tongs -> Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished
after that, if you like Strawberry Jam the best go MPP -> Panda Bear's Person Pitch -> Fall Be Kind -> Painting With -> CHz
if you like Feels the best, go HCtI -> Deakin's Sleep Cycle -> CHz -> Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks
if you like Sung Tongs the best, go Prospect Hummer -> Campfire Songs -> Panda Bear's Young Prayer -> Avey Tare's Pullhair Rubeye (fanmade reversed version since he and his wife released it in reverse and sped up)
if you liked STGSTV the best, go Panda Bear's self titled album -> Danse Manatee -> Hollinndagain
hope this helps
Feels > MPP > ST > STGSTV > SJ > the rest > DM
>>65677203
actually now that I think about it, switch Sleep Cycle and HCtI after Feels and put Avey Tare's Pullhair Rubeye inbetween Sung Tongs and Prospect Hummer
>>65677203
>>65677244
Thanks again for the advice anon, I'll follow Sung Tongs route for now. Started with it there now.. and have been enjoying it so far.
Trying to remember which AnCo I actually listened to before.
>>65677269
good to hear. Sung Tongs tends to be a bit iffy as a starter album for most people, but if you can get into it that's great.
and I'm guessing what you most likely heard was either some of their poppier stuff (SJ onward) or their early noisey earfuck stuff, since a lot of people like using that to scare people off.
>>65677301
I do remember the tracks I listened to being very earfucky. Guess I'll avoid whatever was.
>>65677324
yeah, most likely something from the STGSTV route (excluding that Panda Bear album.) I'd say still give it a try eventually if you get into them though, Spirit is a good way to ease into that type of stuff because it's mostly just pop with some noise thrown over it.

i don't get the Feels hate its arguably their best
>>65673600
huge anco fan here
for some reason the only reason I haven't ventured to listen to was this. i have no idea why since i've listened to everything else heaps.
what should I expect , /mu/?
>>65678550
it's like CHz but mixed with MPP and good
something like Water Curses if you've heard that, but more rock to it
it's pretty great
