Listen to more music
I can listen to abrasive, harsh stuff. I generally have no issue with sound but for some reason the high tone they use all throughout that album fucks me with me heavily. I cannot listen to it without feeling like I'm going insane and causing huge headaches. I like it otherwise though.

Not even AnCo thinks its their best work. They discussed this in a recent interview following the release of PW

And it's great, but it certainly isn't their best work

this (though arguing based off of what an artist says is pretty dumb)
it is one of their better pop albums though

The artist himself is the last person you should care about when it comes to his opinion on the quality of an album
Led Zeppelin II is objectively, by far the greatest album ever concieved. Bring the hate you pretentious hipster faglords, you know it to be true.

Nah, it has some great stuff but too many filler moments to be GOAT forget being the best AnCo.
>>66418280
The first two tracks bring it way down as an overall albums despite the rest of the tracks being amazing.
>>66421502
It's not all that well put together though. Having better transitions would make this album 1000000x better.
>>66421537
Best AnCo related work for sure. Takes care of HCTI's cohesion problem and gives us psychedelic in a minimalist frame in a way never done before.
>>66421599
Good album mostly. Though some of the tracks aren't as sophisticated/dense as their best work, and you got shit like Visiting Friends.
>>66421641
Best AnCo work that's done by all of AnCo together. More layered, more usage of musical space, and more sounds than any other AnCo album. Easy initial accessibility doesn't equate to simple composition.
>>66421849
Eh, doesn't bring anything interesting to the game. Generic hard rock for most of it.

God damn, you must be musically deprived. I mean it's a great art rock record, but it doesn't have any of the elements that make classical music great. That's actually a really weird thing to say given the record you posted, since it's not similar to classical music in any regard, unless you think having an electric viola makes that the case. I'd understand your claim more had you posted something like Laughing Stock or Close to the Edge.
>>66424295
Just saying the truth. If you don't see the similarities between HCTI and PP you're deaf. Otherwise you posted nothing of substance.
>>66425318
Another substanceless post.
>>66425729
I meant as a group. Person Pitch is still the better AnCo affiliated work, but it's a solo piece by Panda Bear.

Jeez, hearing some real shit really causes people to make shitty posts that don't say much, huh?

The noise section in the opening track. Untitled. Everyone Whistling. Some parts of Alvin Row.
>>66426323
Yeah, I ain't a big fan of pop songs that don't really do anything new nor are all that cleverly composed. It's as well done and good as any typical catchy single you'll hear on a radio pop album.

I definitely see that as being Feels, but I'd sound redundant if I put up another argument for it. I've worn myself out defending it and people still don't seem to grasp it. I feel like I'm listening to a completely different album from everyone else when it comes to Feels. I hear the most complex, vivid, and evocative music ever recorded, and the unanimous opinion on it seems to be like "Eh," so fuck it.
>>66429751

How is Mount Eerie disappointing? It's Phil at his best.
>>66429877
>Look, a contrarian
Not him, but seeing you say that in reference to Campfire Songs really rustled my feathers. The album is flawless. If you're listening to it wanting something in the same vein as Strawberry Jam they you'll be hugely disappointed. This might actually be the reason why so much of Animal Collective's best work is so underrated. Regular fans like them for different reasons than what they achieved in the early to mid 2000's, while those who aren't fans just don't bother with it. Campfire Songs is an absolutely sublime experience when listened to from start to finish. I think it's one of the best things they ever pulled off. I think it's really sad how so much of their best work just gets completely neglected. At least you know Here Comes the Indian is good, but I think Campfire Songs might actually be better, and of course I think that Feels is what they were building up to the whole time (which is why they had to go in a different direction in the late 2000's. Feels is where they reached their plateau as far as their early approach goes.)
>>66421537
Not even the best AnCo solo project.
I should probably leave this thread, I feel like it's not good for my emotional health.
>>66429816
Both take a minimalist songwriting approach to create a psychedelic tribal atmosphere. The only difference is that HCTI works with less sounds and lets them be more separate from each other (thus less cohesion) while PP has many sounds going on together to give a more cohesive feel to the whole thing with far more organic transitions/introduction of different sounds.
>>66429830
>oh this guy must hate whacky sounding abrasive music that's why he's hating on my favorite stuff
Being "weird" or "experimental" doesn't automatically make anything good. There have been things far more experimental and abrasive in psychedelic music (Parable Of Arable Land for example) which is far more well done with nothing overstaying its welcome.
>>66429884
Feels is different close behind MPP as the best thing those guys have released as AnCo. That album has a fuck ton of subtle little things going on that make it fantastic. I have no clue who thinks it "eh" though I thought we all agreed that it's fucking fantastic. In fact, if we were to do a weighted average of how much all of us love a certain AnCo album, I think Feels might come out on top.
>>66429891
>boring stuff where nothing's going on
>not filler
That type of stuff is a waste of time. It's why punk music got popular when a band like Yes makes something like Tales.
>>66426210
I still can't get over how good this album is.
>>66430016
Campfire Songs is the worst album of early AnCo, really it's just sloppy. Nowhere near as good as Danse Manatee, even less HCTI.
>>66430054
>>66430197
you know I was going to respond to like half of what you said because you unironically have some of the worst taste I've ever seen, but I can't fucking do it
>>66429751
MPP doesn't have Deakin so it doesn't count as "all of AnCo together"
>>66430054
>PP
>tribal
The only thing in that album that could be described as tribal is Good Girl because of the drum loop. Panda's songwriting has always been minimal with sparse instrumentation, but are you telling my you see Hey light or this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW5-bz3JQcE as minimal? And how can you say HCTI isn't cohesive when the first 4 tracks are essentially one song?
>boring stuff where nothing's going on
>I think it's boring so it's filler
The opener and beginning of Alvin Row are essential for what Avey was going for when he wrote it. I can get if you think Untitled is filler, but I personally don't think it is
>>66430197
>it's sloppy
That's bottom of the barrel criticism, and it isn't even true. CS seems free folky, but in reality it's really deliberate. How could you call the transition from the opener to doggy or De Soto De Sun sloppy?
I love Danse Manatee, but CS is better, and it's on equal footing with HCTI
>>66430299
as >>66430276, thank you for writing pretty much exactly what I would've written so I don't have to

I ain't the same guy as the other one. Unless you're talking to us both. In which case holy shit are you deluded; I wonder if back in the 70s prog fans were also like this when people started turning on the genre for being so bloated.
>>66430278
I already explained this in the topic before. I used that term to differentiate AnCo and Panda Bear's solo work in the context of this thread.
>>66430299
Minimal is not the same thing as minimalist. HCTI is minimal, PP is not. Both are minimalist though because of how they use repetition. CS is also minimalist, too on the longer songs especially.
There's a ton of sampling going on in PP, but that doesn't mean it's not tribal. It sounds like it's been recorded in a forest like setting with both its production and the ambient samples. The minimalist rhythms in the context of that ambient feel and the production give off a very tribal feel. There are chant like parts in the album, too.
The opening part of Alvin didn't have to be that long. After a bit you get the fucking point. The same with the part around the 6 minute mark it's there for no reason the slower cool part was before it and the faster build up part after it and it their context it achieves absolutely jack shit. The transition towards the ending could've gone better, too why wait so long for the fade? So Panda can wank on the drums longer? Really no other reason.

>repetition=minimalist
HCTI and PP are hardly minimalist, though I can see it a bit more in HCTI, and campfire songs definitely is. Minimalism isn't just about repetition, it's using repetition as a base and having slight diversions as vehicles for the music to change. A lot of Panda's stuff is just straight repetition(not that this is a bad thing)
>It sounds like it's been recorded in a forest like setting with both its production and the ambient samples. The minimalist rhythms in the context of that ambient feel and the production give off a very tribal feel.
Tribal, to me anyways, is music that takes heavy influence from Traditional Music, usually African. HCTI obviously does, and the only moment that PP does for me is Good Girl.
As for your opinions on Alvin Row, I don't personally agree, but I get it. It does get drum wanky at points, but I like that
>the part around the 6 minute mark it's there for no reason
You're not talking about the "RUUUUUUN" part, are you? Because that part is absolutely essential, it's the climax of the song. If you're talking about the part immediately after that, it a transition to the third "act" of the song

Seeing those two releases put together seems absolutely surreal being that they're exact opposites in terms of quality. Animal Collective is the only band where you'll see an opinion that comes off as absolutely ridiculous and yet have it appear completely sincere. You wouldn't get people saying the two worst Yes albums are Close to the Edge and Big Generator, or calling the two worst Talk Talk albums Laughing Stock and It's My Life or whatever, you you can get that with Animal Collective and it won't even come off as bate.
campfire songs has one of the most bafflingly offensive lines in ac's discography, otherwise i'd definitely put it on before spirit

Lol if you took that whole "color people" thing as political commentary then I think you're in the wrong frame of mind when listening to vintage Animal Collective.

It's not his fault that you take everything you hear as political. AnCo has always had abstract sort of lines like that. Besides, what's offensive about it? What's so offensive about "color people say oh no 'cause think it's contagious"?
>>66431636

It's not my fault you can't fully absorb what you're listening to and label it as relaxing, forgettable background noise.
>>66431863
>background noise
In my opinion, this album takes the upmost attention. You have to really hear all the nuance and emotion in it.
A lot of people don't give Geo credit for this and say that he "only pressed record". That's true, and I give more credit to Deak, Avey, and Panda for this record, but Geo strategically arranged the three mics, and I feel as though it wouldn't be the same without that. A small contribution, I know, but still
>>66431947
This is basically what I was trying to say with >>66431929. You have to be focused to understanding it. If you're just treating it as background music you'll be totally missing out.
>>66417894
This album seriosly sounds like shit. It sounds like if you were listening to some music with headphones on and the jack wasn't inserted properly. That is exactly what that album sounds like.
