I hate when anco fans act like this album isn't a 10, and rate hcti or some other bullshit higher than it
anco don't have an album higher than a 6.5
>>66068885
I don't like also frightened, and some of the 2nd half of the album, not a 10 for me. i think Spirit and Sung Tongs are better.

Nobody called you a dreamer
I hate when anco fans exist.
>>66069030
Brother Sport, My Girls, Summertime Clothes, even In the Flowers is better
>>66069087
also frightened is an avey song and its amazing.
shit ratings in general.
>>66069091
Stop being defensive.
UP UNEVEN STEPS AND TALKING'S HARD
>>66069165
>>66069175
In The Flowers is actually my favourite anco song so i kinda lied when i said AF was the best
still better then BS, MG, or SC
Here Comes the Indian is the most interesting thing they have done. Some of their stuff is nice, but it gets old fast
>>66069138
but its not the best song by anco
>>66068885
dunno why you'd get emotional about that
i personally like spirit, sung tongs, feels, strawberry jam and hcti more than MPP
but i think they were also consistently great until recently so MPP is still a really good album to me
>>66069216
the best songs on mpp are as follows: in the flowers, my girls, daily routine, guys eyes, taste, brother sport
>>66069237
hollinnd tho
>>66069138
When will the >8/10 is a bad score meme end?

Do you appreciate the subtleties of Taste, bud?
>>66069186

Incorrect

Correct
Try not to be a baby and think that 8/10 is a bad score.

yes please

Nah it's
>Brothersport
>Taste
>Guys Eyes

My Girls and Daily Routine are good songs but nowhere near the best. Give it a rest.
Where tf is lion in a coma on all of your lists
Imagine this album hadn't been marketed well. What score do you think p4k would have given it? What would it have on rym today?
>>66069013

>>66069300
whatever. cant argue that those songs arent amazing. however, my girls imo is vastly underrated on /mu/, probably due to its popularity and catchiness
OPENUPYAOPENUPYAOPENUPYATHROAT
>>66069312
Lion in a Coma is the worst song on MPP.
Let me wait for you to stop frothing.
It kills the entire momentum of the album. The album begins a gradually slowdown starting with Daily Routine, reaching an excellent pace by Guys Eyes. And then Lion in a Coma absolutely rips that into pieces for really no reason.
It could've been placed better, or even more, just not included. No More Runnin works along with the intended structure, where the album slows down all the way until Brothersport kicks it into high gear for a last hurrah.
I like Lion in a Coma. It probably has some of the best lyricism on the album. But it fucks over the album, and its the worst song on it.
>>66069374
I'm not saying it's a bad track at all. It's just overwhelmed by the other more standout tracks.
I get what you mean. It's absolutely worth discussing but is overlooked due to being the most popular AC song out there. But I'm not going to let that make me overrate what it is. It's a great track, surrounded by even better tracks.
>>66069391
I can see where you're coming from but I think it works absolutely perfect. It's not supposed to be just a slow paced album, it's supposed to be a heavy synth accessible album which it does perfectly
>>66069423
im glad we agree
>>66068885
HCTI and MPP are both some of their best, though.
>>66069255
i haven't listened to that record in a long time but it is really good. i like danse a lot too but not until recently
>>66069448
>it's supposed to be a heavy synth accessible album which it does perfectly
Even with that, Lion in a Coma doesn't really work with it. I can see where it's coming from, they did put effort in placing it after Taste's tropical rainforest soundscaping, but it's just so jarring from everything else on the album.
I'm not saying the whole album has to be slowly paced; in fact, the first four tracks and the beginning of the fifth are all quite high energy. It's those remaining four and a half tracks that allow the space the album needs. Most of their albums roughly follow this formula, setting up the first half with high energy jams and spreading out that feeling over the second half, with the last track picking up where we left off.
>>66069255
I love Hollinnd, don't get me wrong, but after Forest Gospel it degenerates pretty hard.
>>66069058
I feel this. With Feels in 9/10.
anco's best album coming through
>>66069715
I can see this. I suppose I rate it lower, maybe because the stuff above is better.
Spirit, Feels, and Campfire Songs are their only albums that make me feel sad. They're three out of the four albums I've ever cried to.
>>66069138
that title belongs to "safer", friendo
>>66069724
i think you mean this
>>66069790
Thank you, friend.
Now I'll wait for the one person on /mu/ who hates it to show up.
Here's what I don't get about My Girls:
"I don't mean to seem like I care about material things, like
>a non-material thing
I just want
>material things
for my girls"
>>66069175
outing you as a pleb rn
>>66069790
I'M ALRIGHT IF YOU'RE ALRIGHT
>>66069842
IM ALRIGHT, IM ALRIGHT, IM ALRIGHT, IM ALRIGGGGGGGGGHHHTTTTT
>>66068885
MPP doesn't feel good to me in the textures. I don't like it. Sung Tongs is more my speed.
>>66069812
is a home really a material thing?
>>66068916
>>66069812
"Four walls and adobe slabs" is a metaphor for a stable and loving home.
>>66069812
I've tried to defend this before as Panda treating something like social status as far more material and bound to this world, than something that is literally material but much more figuratively important to him like adobe slats for his girls.
Basically, Panda doesn't care about the immaterial fame, because it only brings material things. Panda DOES care about being able to provide a house for his loved ones, a material thing that brings immaterial concepts - love, fatherhood, being a good husband, family.
It's a mixed metaphor, granted, but I see what he means.
>>66069829
asking the real questions
>>66069812
>>66069883
And a social stats is usually determined by material things.
>>66069859
You mean a house? As in four walls and a roof?
Yes. That's definitely a material thing.
>>66069883
I'd be able to believe that if the lyrics preceding the chorus didn't include the line "I only want a proper house" and the song weren't about wanting a literal house for his family
>>66069895
I mean so basically what we've learned here ladies and gents is that panda can sing whatever the fuck he wants and we'll have booker t. washington over here rationalize the ever-loving shit out of it til it "makes sense"
>>66069895
This is an explanation I can get behind.
>>66069812
A social status is based on superficial material things like wealth, while the importance of 'four walls and adobe slabs' is family.
>>66069967
This is true for literally every musician.
I'll justify Meatloaf lyrics if you want me to.
>>66069947
he wants four walls and adobe slabs, meaning a home. a home is not material, but the four walls and abobe slabs are.
SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK ADOBE SLABS ARE
>>66070038
>a home is not material
>>66069947
>the song weren't about wanting a literal house for his family
Where? That one line that could also be a metaphor?
>>66069967
>I will have sons and daughters
Panda makes the claim that he will provide a family for his dying father, achieving him the single goal of every father in the evolutionary sense.
>And I will say, here are your grandchildren
Not only does he claim he will achieve this goal, but he will do it prior to his father's death, letting him personally see his success as a father, as his son becomes a father himself
>And you will see them
The true tragedy of the lyric, is that Panda's father died before the birth of his daughter Nadja, denying him the intention of the song.
I can do this with any Panda song.

Anon, were you really this asspained about this chart?
>>66070073
Home is where the heart is.
Surely you're at least in high school, and understand the difference between the immaterial home and the physical structure of a house?

>>66070209
>he fell for the pleb, patrish, contrarian trichotomy
I like MPP, but HCTI and CS are just a lot better
>>66070229
My only issue is that you rate lower.
Feels really doesn't deserve to be that low, and it's not even in my top 5.
>>66070240
I didn't include it because it's a live album, but it's a 9/10
>>66070173
Yes, if you think a house isn't a material thing you are mos def retarded tbqh stepfam
>>66070261
ok contrarian
>>66070225
Because plenty of unhappy kids live in literal four-walled homes and it still doesn't stop their childhoods from sucking.
>>66070229
>No one ever includes ODDSAC
It is literally the only 10/10 they've released in the past ten years.
>>66070295
Have you even listened to HCTI and CS more than once?
Which album do you fags think I should to next if MPP was my first?
>>66069087
>No More Running that high
>>66070296
It's not a song about not being an abusive alcoholic of a father, anon
It's a song about a house, with 4 walls and adobe slabs
>>66070331
yes im just teasing ya ;) but forreal CS is a solid 8 and hcti is a solid 7, whereas MPP is a solid 11
>>66070334
All of them
But Strawberry Jam if you like MPP
>>66070356
>he doesn't like No More Running
>>66070334
strawberry jam or feels. just go backwards
>>66070377
>>66070391
Okay, I kind of wanted to try Strawberry Jam next anyway.
>>66070366
Alright, we'll just have to agree to disagree.
>>66070507
its really good, a little more abrasive and weird, but arguably better. my favorite songs are fireworks, for reverend green, and derek, but i love them all
>>66068962
I hope you don't actually believe this.
>>66070507
i envy you, being able to listen to these albums for the first time :)
>>66069790
I can't get safer on strawberry jam to load for me on spirit seek, does anyone have a mega for it?
>>66070665
get spotify premium
>>66070665
Use soulseek
>>66070703
>he uses spot-a-pleb
>>66070565
Not him, but Geo and Avey dominating CHz is one of it's downsides. Panda should have had a stronger presence, but due to the recording had a much weaker involvement. Deak is often given as example of it, but outside of Wide-Eyed and the guitar focus, is barely part of it.
>>66070773
I completely disagree with you. And honestly, I think Deak contributed quite a bit to CHz and other albums. Some of my favorite moments on CHz are the guitar licks that Deak plays.
I don't know what you mean about the recording process either. How would that affect Panda Bear?
>>66070740
>he doesn't use spotify
>>66070834
>not pirating all your music
>>66070820
>I completely disagree with you.
That's cool, but it's pretty much understood. Avey and Geo dominated both the concept and recording method. The manic energy and the majority of the lyrical themes are entirely Avey's doing, which both gives it its strengths and its weakness.
>nd honestly, I think Deak contributed quite a bit to CHz and other albums.
Don't get me wrong, he's an immense influence on Feels and Campfire Songs, and on HCTI and Strawberry Jam he's an influential player, but outside Wide-Eyed, his presence on CHz is very minimal. Avey is the principal songwriter, Geo is the principal producer.
>Some of my favorite moments on CHz are the guitar licks that Deak plays.
This I can agree with, and it's one of the strengths of the album. Which is why I want more of Deak in terms of sound design for their future albums.
>How would that affect Panda Bear?
Panda is the only one of them to live outside the country. He had to move back in with his mother for Centipede Hz, which put a heavy amount of stress on him, bringing his whole family with him. This turned out positively on New Town Burnout, but he really phoned it in on Rosie Oh (even though I think it's a good song). He was tired and upset pretty much the entire recording of it, which reinforces how hectic and uncertain it is.
I think it's really difficult to debate that Avey and Geo were the architects of its themes and its sounds, respectively. The whole 'alien pop' thing is pretty clearly an Avey thing, given the entirety of Slasher Flicks.
My belief its a downside, is how strained it is. Compare MPP, how it has a wholly understood gasp for air. CHz doesn't have that until the very last track. The whole album is incredibly anxious, uncomfortable. I like the album, quite a lot, and pretty much all I enjoy out of it, was masterminded by Avey and Geo, and subsequently, they were responsible for the things I don't like about it.

ODDSAC is a 10/10.
>>66069013
It's decent. All of Panda's tracks minus recycling are shit though.

>>66068976
Sung Tongs would be 10/10 if they had ended on We Tigers and left out the last 3 tracks, making it a nice 40 minutes album.
This album would be a 9/10 if it ended at Tate and wasn't so abstract and extra
