In order (or not, really):
1. Strawberry Jam: their most consistent, varied and compositionally experimental release. Holds special value in my heart. One of the very few albums on which I like all of the tracks.
2. Centipede Hz: their second worst by far, but it's unique. Very quirky, stupid, the literal definition of spork-core, but it's so dense and flashy I can't help but love it.
3. STGSTV: the drums are perfect. Love all of the noises and shit.
Worst:
1. Painting With: I disliked it at first, then I grew to love it - just to dislike it again. How could they make a song like Spilling Guts? I know what they went after, but come on. I like three or four songs on it...
2. Centipede Hz: ditto. It's a love/hate thing.
3. Danse Manatee. I will have to choose it because I like all of the other albums enough, but DM has the most filter and not enough "listening value".
Best EP: Fall Be Kind.

it's their generic rock album fampai
even the songs people seem to love off of it aren't very special, Loch Raven, Bees, and Turn Into Something are by far the best on the album
also, Painting With was very good

>>66342198
I put STGSTV, MPP and SJ towards the top, that's the opposite of contrarian
>>66342222
i'm talking about the fact that you dislike it because it's "their generic rock album" and you listed arguably one of the two worst songs on the album as its best
>>66342089
>terrible taste
says the anon who rates the album that opens with 6 minutes of unchanging high-frequency noise
>>66342270
I never said I didn't have terrible taste now did I
>>66342143
How the fuck can you call it generic? It's their most interesting work on a sonic level, probably their best work in that area alone, and the whole album just creates these strange, beautiful pictures through emotion and sound. It's definitely their most mature work on all levels, sound and composition. You are right, though, that the second half rivals the first. The way I see it is they're great for different reasons. Sometimes I'll put it on just expecting to listen to the first half, but the second half will draw me in, and it's a hugely rewarding, sublime experience. Whatever, if you think their best album is shit and think Painting With is very good, then I'm just wasting my time arguing with you because I'm so far above you when it comes to my perception of music that you can't even enjoy Animal Collective's masterwork. You must also think It's My Life is better than Laughing Stock. I should feel sorry for you since you're deprived and musically retarded, but I just hope you have bad stuff happen to you.
>>66342267
I got quads so I'm pretty sure I'm correct m8
>>66342270
that's one of the best songs on the album though
>>66342222
nice repeating digits
im guessing the reason why feel's so popular is the subject matter, love, breaking up, da feEEELS, things that people can relate to easily
>>66342287
well usually you don't say someone has terrible taste unless you think yours isn't, but i forgot i'm on a board with a bunch of kids
>>66342293
can't argue with digits i suppose
>>66342292
I'm flattered you baked some new pasta for me anon, but it doesn't change the fact that Feels is the one album that explores absolutely nothing unique
>>66342314
probably, I wouldn't know because I don't give two shits about the lyrics in most music and anco is generally no exception
>>66342292
jeez dude go take an advil

Not the guy you're butthurt over, but thanks for the fresh pasta m9
>>66342222
>it's because it's insanely overrated for god knows what reason
No, it's just because it's actually really phenomenal, but in such away where certain Animal Collective fans - those on a lower plane of understanding when it comes to music - can't see it, and it flies over their heads. I know it sounds pretentious, but there's no other way for me to put it. I wouldn't say something that sounds pretentious if it weren't true. The way I see it if you don't like Feels you're just deprived.

You don't understand what makes Animal Collevtive a good band, end of story.
>>66342357
No, it's just because it's actually really phenomenal, but in such away where certain Animal Collective fans - those on a lower plane of understanding when it comes to music - can't see it, and it flies over their heads.

that makes sense i guess
alot of the appeal of anco (atleast for me) is the lyrics and the sounds, how they interplay and mesh together, creating these landscapes and emotions that flow along with the song
i'm the opposite now that i think about it, i have to really focus on the song and every element in it instead of letting it play in the background or i cant get into it
>>66342425
>No, it's just because it's actually really phenomenal, but in such away where certain Animal Collective fans - those on a lower plane of understanding when it comes to music - can't see it, and it flies over their heads.

The way I see it if you don't like Hollinndagain you're just deprived.
Lol I actually think that's kind of true, but not as much as it is with Feels. Plus, on Hollinndagain they were still chiseling away at their sound, which they did for several albums until they reached Feels, where the completely mastered their early approach to music. That's why they had to go pop with Strawberry Jam; There was nowhere else for them to go after Feels. Another thing, I think Here Comes the Indian is where they really pulled off what I think Hollinndagain was going for. I think that Here Comes the Indian and Feels are their two technical best albums. Kind of like Talk Talk's Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock. I'd take either one for an answer.
Why is Golden Gal so overrated, /anco/?
>>66342559
because it's the most accessible song and apparently there are people who still don't get the genius of songs like The Burglars and Lying in the Grass
>>66342559
I dunno. Probably because it's a great song.
>>66342595
The Burglars is great but you're trying to hard in citing Lying In the Grass. You've probably just heard other people talk about how it's good, but I doubt you like it.
>>66342699
nah, I hated it when I heard the snippet from the amazon leak but when the full single came out it grew on me very quickly. it's genuinely in the top five songs on the album.
Has anyone else fallen in love with Vertical off Painting With? I can't get enough of it
>>66342699
Lying in the grass really is one of the best on the record though
>>66342744
Yeah, it's one of the more catchy and clever songs on the record. In terms of underrated tracks I really love spilling guts, summing the wretch, and recycling as well
>>66342699
If you don't think the groove on lying in the grass is stanky af I feel bad for you
>>66342720
>>66342759
I think you're confusing being original with having shit taste. It's a terrible song, no matter what band it came from.
>>66342744
Honestly, it's my favorite song on the album. That and Burglars are the most satisfying tracks on there.
>>66342842
I just feel like I'm in special ed when I listen to it, and most of Painting With really.

Oh so you're just insecure. Got it.
>>66342941
Lol try listening to Lying In the Grass for twelve hours and then tell your friends how much you love Lying In the Grass and then see how you feel when they look it up and listen to it.
>>66342979
>lol try listening to x song for twelve hours and it'll get annoying
no shit
>>66342997
Okay, just play that song for them and see how they act with you afterwards.
>>66343009
>your average person can't appreciate anything outside of a very specific range of music
no shit
also basing what you judge as good or bad off of that is the most retarded thing you could do
>>66343009
My friends like Painting With a lot. It's not our fault you have shit social skills and can only befriend retards.
>>66343038
Yeah, but I still know how I feel when listening to it. Also, I feel totally comfortable with telling people I like Here Comes the Indian and then have them be like, "Woah, this dude's insane," but not the way Painting With implies. This is the first point where I actually don't feel comfortable telling people that Animal Collective are my favorite band, 'cause I can't have people look them up and hear Floridada and be like, "...oh."
>>66343100
>It's not our fault you have shit social skills and can only befriend retards.

You're so fucking stupid. You actually let others dictate your taste. Music isn't a fashion statement you shallow fuck.
>>66344862
I don't, I'm just saying if I really liked Painting With that much I wouldn't want to let other people know. For the most part, I feel totally fine with people thinking I'm crazy for liking what I like, but I guess that's just because I like it. I still don't think there are many people to whom I'd admit to liking Buyer's Market, and I think that's a great album, so there's that.
