Trying to get into An Co, what do I start with. Give me an order
figure it out yourself, why do you need spoon-feeding? Do you not have the cognitive power to look through their discography on wikipedia? Go fuck yourself.
Hey, listen to FloriDada on repeat for a few hours, then you are prepared to go outside and tell everyone your favorite band is Animal Collective (But be sure to call them AnCo, so only the realest fans, like you, get it)

newfag fuck off
i would suggest to start with Merriweather Post Pavillion
I'm drunk and feel like being a tourguide
It depends OP, are you a fan of poppy, briliantly crafted songs? Or more abstract stuff?
If the former, start with Merriweather Post Pavilion and work backwards. That way you slowly get introduced to the weirder stuff.
If you want to start abstract straight away start at Here Comes the Indian and work backwards
If you want a middle-ground then start with Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished or Feels.

Merriweather and Strawberry Jam are their most accessible albums. Start there. If you dig comfy acoustic autism, Sung Tungs is right up your alley. Their Water Curses EP is also pretty tight if you like MPP/SJ more. Centipede Hz is an acquired taste but it's a fun album when it clicks. Painting With is a hit or miss album. The 'hit' songs on there are really good though.

Not the biggest fan of this flowchart, it's like it recommends listening to all the solo stuff before you even reach STGSTV

I'm hardly a newfag, I've been around long enough to see this board become a cesspool filled with posts begging to be spoonfed.

I agree, it's not the best flowchart going around :(

hardly f a m

>Feels
>Slightly abstract
feels is literally is just a 2 guitars with delay pedals
Sung tongs is more middle ground than that

You can't call the middle section of feels not abstract, even if it's just delayed guitars and geo making scraping noises songs like Banshee Beat and Daffy Duck are more out there than anything on Strawberry Jam (for example)
>>66152446
well i proposed sung tongs was more abstract than feels and not SJ but w/e
also Fireworks, #1, and maybe For Reverend Green are more abstract than Banshee Beat
just turn it to nickelodeon every half hour and catch the theme songs
there you go now ur an anco fan
Start with Sung Tongs, go until you hit Merriweather and Fall Be Kind, then transition to STGSTV and listen up until
Here Comes The Indian, then listen to Centipede and Painting With and cry
