I've always wondered why people hate Danse Manatee, even people who are well enough into patricianhood to be able to listen to it without getting a headache seem to despise it. People who heil Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished as a masterpiece, criticize the fuck out of Danse manatee, even though they are around the same level of abrasiveness.

But then it hit me, how many people have you seen who say they hate Danse Manatee, but love "Essplode"? How many people have you seen deny that Feels is the true anco pop masterpiece, because the tracks "drag on" too much? How many people have you seen who's least favorite track on Sung Tongs is Visiting Friends? Animal Collective have developed a fanbase who cannot appreciate slow music. Its not that Danse Manatee is too abrasive, people are just too fucking impatient. It's not a failed experiment, it just takes its fucking time. Asking an anco fan to appreciate this album is like asking a Soccer fan to appreciate Baseball. It's hard to go from "GET BALL TO GOAL" to whatever the fuck those nerds are doing in baseball. I don't actually watch sports.

I think its just the same fag who thinks he knows everything and is desparate for people to agree with him.

mpp fag detected

The ear-piercing trebble

Not even Spirit is that much ear-raping, it's also a more cohesive album than Danse

OP here,
copypasta or not, amen.

cause it was a masterpiece that was too much for even AC fans to understand.

The studio production just killed it for me. It has a bunch of really good jams but this kind of material really just sounds better live. and if you listen to boots from that era they really are 10x better

Actually mpp is ranked fifth at best in my ranking. I didnt at all insinuate that I dont like the album.
