Didn't get them at first, then loved everything they did. Though, I didn't listen to their stuff for quite some time now. The singer somewhat annoys me now... I'm getting old without a doubt.

 

I went to their Feels tour and found their live performance pretty mediocre. Maybe it's because I was in the very back of the venue ordering one pitcher after the other with a couple of friends and simply not bothering with what was happening on stage.

I can't believe how many of you lump them into the Pitchfork/Trendy crowd. I've talked to several of them through email conversations, and they are incredibly humble people making music. There is nothing to "get" about their music, you either like it or you don't. While most of you lot have only heard of AC through the hipsters and loathed e-zines, Animal Collective were garnering attention to their music long before they decided to experiment with more accessible pop.

 

I've been a fan of their music for quite some time now, and I started by listening to Here Comes The Indian on a solid pair of headphones in my comfortable bed. Admittedly I had no idea what was happening on first listen, but it didn't take long into Native Belle to get lost in the sound. This album was and still is an album that changed my life. Truly an emotional rollercoaster.

 

For dreamers only?

lol what? as opposed to electronic music which was hip like five years ago? seriously. animal collective has recorded music before they were hip, see eugenes post. fiznuthian and taphead have an idea whats up.

i used to love them but then i realised that half their songs have really high pitch screeches in them which really pisses me off and it hurts my ears.

always found them really boring, but should give it another try when i'm in the mood.

 

mostly i just wanted to post here to clarify that the acronym "AC" belongs to Anal Cunt, and that i feel strongly it should stay that way. there is definitely something to 'get' about anal cunt.

They do, you just didnt get to see one.

When I pay $20 to see a show, I shouldn't have to hope to catch them on a "good" day.

Very well stated sir!

 

Also, I may not have thought through they're catalog very well- Spirit They're Gone and Campfire Songs are pretty good too as far as their early stuff goes.

No one has mentioned the ep with Vashti Bunyan- kind of short but just awesome stuff!

i must say i'm pretty hooked to this song "cuckoo cuckoo"

but only the 2 first minutes sadly. when the drums & yelling comes in it ruins what could have been a great surreal song

 

how i lost my boy how i lost my boy how i lost my boy ...

 

sweet

 

i also like bees and grass (?) too i guess

 

but the rest gets on my nerves
