Reminder that this is what happens when you don't pay for an album review.
>>62605401
Animal Collective is bad and you should feel bad
Kanye made arguably the best album of the decade and should have got a 10 but p4k is racist
>>62605401
It's finally happened. The transition from God indie bands to shitty hip hop. The apocalypse is here
A shit review that isn't even a review
Also
>listening to shitfork
They're not black that's why. If they were. It'd get 10.0
>>62605401
AnCo stopped being fashionable. See you next time a flavor of the month southern trap album gets BNM.
>shitfork
middle schoolers are a better source on music criticism
The AnCo score is fair, but TLOP is literally no better than a 7
It's not good! It's plastic! It's too direct! There is nothing here for anyone but spazzes. I'm ashamed of the group. I wanna cry.
>>62605526
This
its simply not a good album. no variety, did nothing new, no break up of pace, oddly soulless for anco etc.
shit review, but accurate score.
>>62605543
how is it a shit review? that writer has a good perspective. probably one of the most qualified people to write about AnCo that still works for Pitchfork. Check that Sung Tongs piece in dat hypertext.
>>62605543
>no variety
Listen to it more than once. FloriDada, Burglars, Golden Gal and Recycling all stand out to me as unlike the other tracks.
>did nothing new
Ultimately, sure. For anco it's a pretty big change in the way they stripped the songs down to their core.
>no break up of pace
That's sort of the point. The album is only 40 minutes, it's supposed to be all guns blazing pop music. And the last two tracks do stop to sort of reflect on the rest of the album.
>>62605629
>how is it a shit review?
Did you read it? The dude just makes surface level observations about the synths and the vocals and just calls it all bad without substantiating why, then spends four paragraphs getting nostalgic for their old material.
It's garbage, anon.
>>62605629
He doesn't go into detail at all, talk about the actual music. A large chunk of the review is just talking about old AnCo, and he ends it with basically "They r just not the same". Which is a fine opinion to have, but when you don't actually explain WHY the album is mediocre it makes it a bad review
>>62605657
this so fucking much
>>62605629
A band progressed and we don't like it but I'm not going to say why: the review
>>62605657
Holy fucking this
This so much
https://mega.nz/#!AF5XEYKS!QGID7gf4IA7Uy4sIjdOsrp10JdouXiT0TivvjsoF7sI
try dancing to this album. it's awesome.
>>62605657
well said
Also I'm ready for everyone in /mu/ who liked it to start hating it now.
>>62605657
Sounds like a huge copout.
THEY DIND WANT TO REPEAT THEMSELVES AND DONT WANT IT TO BE COMPARED TO THEIR OLD STUFF
They couldn't have possibly, reasonably held these expectations, especially with the number of albums under their belt. And also saying that these songs are good when they aren't compared to anything else is kind of belying the deflated nature of these tracks.
>>62605809
Yup. I can respect them for taking risks for their tenth album and still varying their style, but in turn it has to be said that this new album just isn't as good.
>>62605441
2/10 bait
>>62605926
Reasonable. I liked it, but this is a good synopsis
>>62605785
i'm forced to dance to it, my body won't say no
try not dancing to this album
more like panned with
>that one guy who reads music reviews
lol
This just goes to remind why that I can legitimately disagree with a review so much, that it almost makes me wonder why I even bother reading that shit at all.
Floridada- 8.75
Hocus Pocus- 9.75
Vertical- 7.25
Lying in the Grass- 9.25
Burglars- 8.5
Natural Selection- 10
Bagels in Kiev- 6.25
On Delay- 7.5
Spilling Guts- 7.25
Summing the Wretch- 8.25
Golden Gal- 9
Recycling- 9.25
Thoughts?
>>62605401
why are you surprised?
animal collective fell off after fall be kind
they just can't top what would i want? sky
>>62606078
why don't u like bagels?
>>62606078
>natural selection the best
no... why?
and on delay is the best song by far
other than that you're good
They are white
>>62606103
Just didnt immediately catch on like the rest. Gave it a couple listens, just didnt dig it. Im still listening, I'll start play through number 4 in the morning. This is subject to change.
>>62606115
I feel like Natural Selection was the poppiest, and Im still trying to grow out of my pleb stage.
Since when did pitchfork review albums when they leak and before release?
>>62606092
oh my fuck it's a dude blowing a horn or something
I never realised til just now
>>62606213
I was wondering this too. Do you think if theres enough public outrage theyll go back and change the score after the album is officially released?
>>62605401
Honestly surprised. That reviewer seems to have a complicated history with them, but the fact that the same website would give Grim Reaper a great score and this a poor score is pretty fascinating.
>>62606213
>>62606239
They get sent review copies ya dinguses
>>62606237
It's a guy swinging an axe
Avey wanted to showcase homage to psychotic murderers in the peak of the bands popularity
The subtext of madness from their older work has always been a part of anco
>>62605401
it's the truth honestly, a 6 sounds about right.
All the songs are really forgettable and don't seem to really accomplish much.
It sounds more like a dullish panda bear release more than another anco album
>>62606239
probably not I have a feeling this was set up to be panned by p4k if they liked the album or not
>>62606387
even if they were sent review copies most of the time the review comes out day before/day of release just seems odd its more in time with the leak seeing as the mp3 / flac came out today
Fall be kind is a man holding a Fucking axe, not a horn.
>>62606387
yea but they used to wait until the specific release date for most albums to publish reviews. now that the industry shifted to a day out of each week to drop new releases p4k has no rhyme or reason to which reviews they publish first other than their multivalent marketing strategies I guess.
Like holy shit how can they actually give this a 6.2? so Nikki Minaj's newest album is better than this?
Who even cares.
[spoiler]i care immensely[/spoiler]
Not that it will shape my opinion, but I know it will shape others, and that this is a sign of worse things to come. if this had been released in 2012 instead of CHz it would be a 9 or thereabouts
>>62606647
lmao fuck off back to your own board shitter
>>62607056
dude I was using spoilertags ironically can't you tell
>I like Hz and Painting With more than MPP and SJ
Is that so wrong?
>>62607130
No. I think Painting With is better than MPP
>>62605657
that's gay as hell
>>62606167
>I feel like Natural Selection was the poppiest, and Im still trying to grow out of my pleb stage.
I hope you get colon cancer
I've been listening to anco and shitting on this album all day
Where can i listen to it?
>>62605741
This. Wow and he sounds actually heartbroken (although he tries to mask that with cool disinterest). What were they expecting? It's clear that since honeycomb onwards the band took the practical route and just want to roll with it. Solo projects signal this direction too.
I don't know, I certainly prefer this before seeing them copy old shit wich would be truly sad.
What a lazy review. At least the other ones speak about songs, execution and sound.
>>62605472
Black people are subjected to different standards of quality because they're pinhead morons.
>>62607130
>>62607194
>album is unfairly contrasted with older works
>pretend it's better
its not bad, its just entry level as fuck.
it makes me think that theyre trying to appeal to as many people as possible on the offchance a normie will get turned onto their back catalog.
with that in mind, its already starting to sound better. they just wanna share the magic of their older releases.
>>62606078
>vertical and bagels the lowest rated
disgusting
regardless what you think, PW is at least better than Chz
P4K has gone full on BLACKED
>album we like gets a good pitchfork review
>"aye yeah i agree with it"
>album we like gets bad review
>lmfao more liek shitfork who even listens to them buncha fag nigger reddits lel keks
>>62606324
Maybe because Grim Reaper sort of did this formula first, so PW feels redundant? Honestly, even AnCo have sort of dabbled in this direction already - this is the sort of album I would have expected after Honeycomb, but it's liked they swerved completely with Hz.
>>62606487
>>62606566
No, often times it's "big/headliner review" is published the Monday before release. If Kanye had not released his album, the review probably would have been up a day earlier.
>>62607540
>implying anything on PW is better than Moonjock, Today's Supernatural, New Town Burnout, or Amanita
What's with all the current leaks having this DJ interject randomly in the tracks? I can't listen to it.
Even /mu/ can't ignore this level of white guilt.
PLOP gets 9 and this gets 6. Will pitchfork finally be cast aside as a race-baiting publication trying to maintain an image. and all it's drones migrate to /r/hhh? I do hope so.

Haven't found one. Every one, including the mega link in this thread, is of that tainted version. I'll just wait for the official release.
"I'm the same age as most of the band and they sound way younger than I feel. This album sounds too rowdy for someone my age to experience in a live setting, therefore it is bad. Also, my wife said I can't go. I wish it was more like the albums that I most enjoyed when I was a younger man and cared more about music. -6.2"
>>62607599
I really just meant that PW is so much more interesting than GR. Not that GR was all bad, but Panda didn't present the songs as progressions, but presented an idea and overused it for two or three times as long as it stayed interesting. PW is so much more interesting that I'm surprised.
>>62607691

it's anco. it's really not that hard.
Bagels and On Delay gave me serious Feels vibes.

>>62607692
this to a T
what an atrocious review
>>62607404
No.
>>62605441
It's a 30 out of 10 you bigot
>>62607730
I don't think Panda was really going for linear progression in terms of song-structuring - I listen to the songs more in a techno or drone type of context, if you get what I mean. Really about getting in a certain mindset or groove and staying there as opposed to be lead in forward-ward moving direction (where I guess PW is more propulsive).
I dunno, I actually found GR to have more variety. The fact that you have a song that's very reminiscent of something very tranquil and Daffy Duck-like (Lonely Wanderer) being followed by something that's rhythmically like a full-fledged house track (Principe Real) showcases a wider range in just those two tracks than most of PW. I like both albums btw.
haha white bois got cucked again by BBC
leave it to black artists to get BNM

>>62607583

>>62605472
Although i genuinely think black people ma de the greatest music of the past century and literally built froom zero an american musical identity this is actually a fact
I just don't get it, this album is awesome
the text said nothing about the art side at all, maybe release another review by other person, this one is crap
RE-REVIEW IT YOU WHITE GUILT FAGGOTS BEFORE ANYONE ELSE SEES THIS SHIT. NO ONE GIVES A SHIT IF YOUR MOM WON'T LET YOU GO SEE ANCO
bullshit, this seems like a grudge review because something one of the guys said on twitter of if the didn't want to perform on their pitchfork festival
I can see this album being a 7.something at worst, easily a higher 8 and 9
>I didn't hear these songs live in advance so 6/10
Tbh this was unsurprising as hell. The CHz review marked the decline of p4k's critical credibility. (Friendly reminder that that album is a top 3 AnCo record)
Also, I haven't listened to PW yet. Waiting for the proper release.
>>62608241
>of if the didn't want to perform on their pitchfork festival
wut
Remember that ridiculous 0/10 rating of Zaireeka back in the day? It was so bad that a few years later the founder had to issue an apology. Would be hilarious if that happened again
>>62608263

>>62605657
'it's not bad, it's DIFFERENT :)'
I bet this album will turn out to be a great feel-good summer album this year. Too bad they released it in the winter
I told you guys. This album is interesting and a good listen but lacks the replay ability. And how can you blame the dude for being emotional in his review? If you love this band as much as I do you'd be disappointed with PW too.
Gonna listen to HCTI or Feels hell maybe even CHz which is a good album.
>>62606078
Recycling is probably the worst song after Lying in the Grass
>>62608104

>>62608790
>And how can you blame the dude for being emotional in his review? If you love this band as much as I do you'd be disappointed with PW too.
It's fine that he got emotional as long as he also embedded an actual and fully considered critique of the ACTUAL musical content of the album, which he did not.
>>62608861
>disliking Lying in the Grass
Someone explain this to me please, I think I am being ememd
>>62608938
I suppose. I just wish they'd slow it down.
I gotta say they did what they wanted perfectly. Just wish it wasn't the route they took.
can someone explain how their ratings work? there are a bunch of different reviewers but they they agree on the score together?
>>62605454
>A shit review that isn't even a review
This is p4k in a nutshell. Why do you even read their "reviews?" They're rarely, if ever, about the music.
>>62607583
it wasnt just any hipster band but it was anco
>>62605785
>>62606007
samefag
cant wait till Deakin's album gets a 9.8 BNM
he deserves it
It's a pretty bad album, yes.
So, is P4k just a place where reviewers try to stick out as controversial giving the precise score that will make the most people angry or agree out of sheeping?
There are people who think this is above a 7? This is easily one of the weakest AnCo albums. Too fruity sounding. It's like a big fuckin meme album
>>62606213
pitchfork would've been paid off by the marketing team for Kanye West, they are a part of an already orchestrated online narrative surrounding the release of this album.

Kill urself m'm8y
>>62609628

Nice 'review'. 2 paragraphs talking about music and 5 paragraphs talking about random bullshit which basically summarises to "AnCo aren't cool anymore". The one thing I'll agree with them (and the Guardian review) on is the whole trading vocals for each syllable gimmick, that shit's annoying and they overused it
>>62609163
Quick, somebody force this meme

>>62605401
desu this isn't a groundbreaking album: they didn't bring anything new on the table; considering their 3 previous albums, Painting With is unsurprising – even if it's still enjoyable.
Besides that, yeah shirtfork should have given them a ~8.0.
>>62609657
Sorry for being mr spoonfeed, but does anyone have a link to it. I just don't trust anything with the number of fakes/rips that are flying about.

>>62605657
I feel like this will apply to Death Grips' future projects.
decent score. sung tongs is still their best anyway
AnCo shouldn't have put so much effort into promoting this album with all the stories about the BeachBoys studio and dinosaurs etc. It seems like a lot of the backlash is just because of this image of theirs. Just put the music out and let it speak for itself
>>62609719
I miss the time when you could go on p4k and all the new reviews would be of obscure indie bands from irrelevant parts of the world, all with poorly-drawn cartoons as their album covers.
Now it's just meme rap and EDM

>Depth and hiddenness become metaphors here. Watching the rockets' red glare over Baghdad in April, 2003, I was ready for an album like Here Comes the Indian, whose nightmarish volatility reminded me that whatever evil men do starts in the heart; after the 2008 election I vibed unapologetically with the optimism of "My Girls," which sounded like Peter Pan taking the wheel and telling the Darling children everything was going to be all right.
Do people actually live/think like this?
>>62609668
Don't you know? That's how you write a pitchfork review
Are AnCo fans really that desperate in 2016. Sad sight.
Ps: record is pretty bad gents, stop defending it like that and prepare yourself for more pans, as it should happen.
>>62609769
Pretty much all bands of their "indie status" have to do lame press tours with quotables that are often overused and put in headlines. Just the name of the game.
Also, their presence has always been polarizing - their whole "persona" tends to really annoy people for some reason, no matter who unoffensive it is.

idk, with me it seems like they've used it in a creative way each time, its not just like in Boys Latin, they mix it up enough to mean it provides cohesiveness to the album
>>62609719
Good article, thanks for posting.
>>62609891
They never did that to begin with, outside stuff signed to 'indee' british labels like El Guincho
>>62609987
I wouldn't know, I've never cared enough about Pitchfork to actually read any of their articles or anything.
i wouldnt have a problem with the score if it wasnt for all the shit uninspired trap they give bnt and bnm to all the time, also giving tlop bnm less than a day after it was released is proof all they care about is traffic, any serious publication would give whatever it is theyre reviewing more time
>>62610028
All reviewers get pre-release copies. They've had it for at least a week, possibly more.
An accurate review
>>62610042

Scam of a lifetime
Idk man, this album is great. Every listen I've gone "wow that was a really good track" on different parts of the album
overall not super great imo, but it has some of their best jams in years.
album is worth it for burglars, bagels, golden gal, on delay, and natural selection (i like it and think this track is underrated)
i think vertical is actually a bit bland. summing the wretch is legit terrible.
It's a shame to see people getting upset over a review and potentially ruining their enjoyment of the album because of it. Seriously, it's just some person's opinion, it shouldn't have any effect over what you already think of the album.
AnCo fags btfo.

>>62611217
I loved that album, personally
It resonated with me much more on an emotional level.
p4k mate
The review was good especially the last paragraph
>As someone who has no hangups about admitting that this band changed not only how I think about music but how I thought about life, it's easy to wonder if Painting With and Centipede Hz signal an ending, or at least a consequential lull. Fifteen years is longer than most bands last, let alone great ones. Part of Animal Collective's image—or my image of them, at least—entailed fantasy of three to four guys sacrificing themselves at the foot of their loop pedals to conjure some other, bigger, more powerful god. Now, they're parents living in different zip codes and riding the festival circuit. Panda Bear's solo albums are more interesting than they've ever been and Avey Tare has kept busy, but the time that they were a bellwether for the horizon of independent music seems in ebb. Old heads will tell you that the most exciting part of seeing them live was hearing songs months, sometimes years before they came out on record: I, for example, remember being in the basement of a sushi restaurant in Charlottesville, Virginia, watching Sung Tongs before anyone knew it existed, or wading through Webster Hall to a gorgeous, slowly dawning song they later called "Banshee Beat." The feeling of that moment is hard to describe, but it was something like standing in the light of a secret. Times change, life intervenes. Painting With was the first time the band jumped right into the studio. Work can be scheduled, magic can't.
AC are old men now, it's just like Radiohead, they're past their prime
p4k has spoken, so now even /mu/ has followed suit in the anco backlash
this is kind of sad desu, forget about the memes

havent heard PW yet but not sure why it would be considered a lull. CHz is a tremendous, invigorating sonic experience. Easily one of their best works.
idk, maybe it doesn't sound good live? i don't go to concerts so i can't really comment on if that's the reason why people dislike it.

>havent heard PW yet but not sure why it would be considered a lull.
because it got a bad score from Pitchfork
seriously
that's the only reason
>>62605401
I'm confused aren't we supposed to hate pitchfork anyway
>>62605401
yes it leaked
but this review came before the release
fuck pitchfork
>>62611826
this paragraph confirms what everyone already knew about p4k, but still jarring to see so clearly. All they really care about is the image or trendyness of an act. "They used to be underground and cool, but now they are popular and old and have families." There's hardly any mention of the actual music in the whole review.
>>62605526
kek montie you hit the nail on the head
>>62612213
press get review copies earlier retard
>>62612213
they get promo copies mate...
a bunch of other publications have already published reviews as well

Reminder that this is what happens when you aren't black.
>I, for example, remember being in the basement of a sushi restaurant in Charlottesville, Virginia, watching Sung Tongs before anyone knew it existed, or wading through Webster Hall to a gorgeous, slowly dawning song they later called "Banshee Beat." The feeling of that moment is hard to describe, but it was something like standing in the light of a secret. Times change, life intervenes. Painting With was the first time the band jumped right into the studio. Work can be scheduled, magic can't.
This fucking idiot is just mad this album isn't Sung Tongs v4 so he slams the record and says that AnCo is ending, what a fucking troglodyte
>>62606072
Not a single fucking line about the music.
>"Though it pains me to say it, there are times that Painting With feels less like Animal Collective than Animal Collective: the Ride."
What does it mean?
>>62611826
All of this can be applied to Kanye
>>62605401
i love how everyone is using deak as their album cover
>>62614711
based avey
>>62614711
Avey being based
>The Pitchcock dicksucker flavor-of-the-month crowd no longer likes AnCo and stops listening to them
>With only their real fans left to appreciate it the band makes Feels 2.0 for their next album
>>62611826
honestly kind of beautifully written
standing in the light of a secret is exactly how I felt as a 14 year old discovering merriweather--I couldn't believe music so good was possible, and that no one else I knew seemed to be listening to it
someone kind of referenced that paragraph as a eulogy for the band and it kind of makes me tear up
Quick guys give me your best Drum Circle Jokes :D
First time I agreed 100% with a pitchfork review.
I'm a huge anco fan btw
>>62609818
That's legitimately one of the dumbest paragraphs I have read in my life.
>>62615153
PW is 1000000000 times better than music.
I'm a music fan btw,
>>62615392
Haha!
>>62615392
lmao
>>62605657
>>62605682
these
saw it coming
they didn't really like chz right?
i feel like it's really underrated
7.4-6.2=1.2
6.2*1.2=7.44
It's all a meme
>>62611826
>>62615095
Have you considered the possibility that it's not that they got old and stopped making good, unique music, but that you got too old to adapt to the new ideas?
this was the nail in the coffin for p4k.
>>62616398
Yea, this score is embarrassing.
>>62616398
Wow
You guys should have stopped taking P4K seriously when they gave Danse Manatee a 3.
>>62616507
They did? Wow
>>62615882
Geo went to Columbia though?
>>62616398
this
how people dont see this as their best amazes me
P L E B F O R K
Listening to this just made me want to listen to the few good tracks on Hz and MPP.
I'm surprised people actually dig this album besides florida
>>62616624
stop listening while you browse the internet
Black Music Matters
>>62616624
MPP is entirely, that is.
Also I hate how there is nothing slow on this album, just seems like rushed songs that were just produced well
>>62605401
>listening to a company with meaghan garvey on their staff list
>>62606647
this guy is right
>>62616640
Nope, commute while listening. I hardly browse and listen anymore, desu hard to read and hear lyrics and then watch videos
I really like this album
Is their safest play yet tho
It feels like MPP's non-chill synthy brother
People who dont enjoy it are fucking hotheads
>>62616744
I'm a bit hotheaded about it not being amazing, I'll admit that. Just disappointing and I'll just listen to other stuff
>>62616671
I love a good half of it. Hocus Pocus is one of my favorite tracks ever.
>>62616398
Yeah the painting with review it pretty bad, but this is just wrong.
>>62616624
This albums has a lot of weird modular synth details, give it a couple of more listens maybe.
A lot of people complaing on the spastics vocals but i really like them, they remind me of how my mind sounded my first time doing acid
>>62611826
>>62615095
Fuck both of you, that travesty of a review focuses more on AnCo's image than the fucking music. Only shallow trend followers could think that review is good.
>>62615882
>>62616398
>Death Grips make the most daring and groundbreaking album of their career
>6.7
>Kanye makes watered down industrial hip hop
>9.5 Best New Music
>Kanye makes an incoherent mess
>9.0 Best New Music
I really hope no one on here still takes pitchfork seriously.
>>62615882
I love how they barely had to do anything to Deak's face on that top pic of them.
>>62616794
idk what you talkin about m8
Is pretty amazing imo
Texture wise sounds like MPP and SJ' child
Melodies arent as good as anyhing in their early stuff, i've to admit that, but the overrall up beat feel of the album and the aesthetics are really psychedelic, or at least for what psychedelia is for me.
The vocals are really disorienting and i love it.
Is a full trip.
Maybe listen to it while driving or something.
Maybe you are just not in the mood for it and thats ok.
who /Bagels in Kiev/ here
Best track by far
One of anco's best imo
>>62608790
>hell maybe even CHz
someone who actually likes chz doesn't talk about it like that, m8
>>62617059
Bagels in Kiev sounds like a Feels outtake, which is not a bad thing by any means. I have to stick with Lying in the Grass as the best though. The beat is top notch and the Boys Latin style vocals outdo Boys Latin itself. The piano and sax accents, the layer of texture underneath it all. It's just too good.
>>62616398
this review
Fucking Exai got a 5.5
and now Painting With
>>62605657
I haven't even heard any AnCo albums before but I generally liked Painting With and Pitchfork once again show that they can't actually make a real review for the life of it.
>reminder that they gave drukQs a 5.5 (wasn't it 4.2? did they really change the fucking score?)
http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/225-drukqs/
PITCHFORK BTFO
>>62609931
I'm a fan of AnCo but it sounds similar to hissing Fauna by of montreal
>>62617510
This makes me like the album even more, such a great response
Honestly who gives a fuck what Pitchfork says?
>>62615392
>>62617642
>>62617510
Man, that's just a nice response. AnCo seem like such genuinely nice guys.
Sick lowkey burn at the end tho
