hybrination has been trolling me (and this entire thread) for days, and should absolutely fuck off. I didn't even see your post ethmin. Peace.

If we had some bootlegs it probably wouldn't be like this.

welcome to the foe list, hombre

That's funny. He's trolled me for days, I've literally never said a word to you, and I'm your foe somehow? Lol. So be it.

What a weird day on CA. I feel peaceful as can be, for what that's worth. Hybrination won't leave me alone, so I did what had to be done. And I'm just fucking around about all the freebird stuff.

But add me to the foe list, as needed. I'm not that good of a presence, anyhow, I guess. You won't lose much by blocking me. But I like CA so I'll still be here.

Oh geez buddy I haven't said a word to you since the original joke, and even then we only had an exchange of like 3 posts max? Mostly it was you insulting me. I mean I'm sorry that I've made you feel this way to the point where you are fixating on me, but all I did was make a dumb joke. Just take a step back, I'm not against you, and I will not respond in this thread at all if that makes you feel better. Just take care of yourself, this stuff is getting you unhealthily worked up.

boycott the album

[conswaygo]

this board isn't what it used to be.

soo many people picking fights or breathing negativity.

the growing popularity of the band has lead people to make accounts only to get access to freebirds or to get a reaction from others.

the intimate sharing of excitement and civil opinion sharing is why i've been coming here for half a decade. let's try to get back to the good parts of what a community is. a collective <--

This 'thread' is being 'pulled' (abused) too much by you guys, threatening to 'unravel' the very fragile 'fabric' of the CA sweater as we know it

[amber]

Lol

You guys aren't being good for Christmas

[jetski]

I like how we have Fugazi, Billy Joel, and Mission of Burma lyrics on this page

lemme say that hypo is the best part of this thread
he is the CA ambassador, bridging the gap between top and bottom

[WoodenSails]

Does anyone know where working versions of Vertical/Burglars are? I've looked all over and they seem to be totally purged.

[Losercore]

They've existed inside your heart all along. You just have to believe.

[Stanshant]

I was playing the samples again in the car before and about two thirds of these songs do sound brilliant already, and most of the others don't appear to be great excerpts, anyway, i.e. clearly part of an intro. Vertical especially sounds magic.

[dio]

ya vertical sounds ridiculous. definitely alrdy after my heart. feel like wwiws + taste + daily routine vibes all rolled in one

[dio]

but then i feel like a lot of the panda ones with a lot of vocal manipulation seem to kind of draw off a sweet daily routine type vibe? cept Bagels. that sounds like AIR/ darker vampire weekend?

[captainhowdy]

Well.... I don't expect a freebird before a music video.

[partario]

Aren't the videos usually released right before the album, if not after? I would think that unless a freebird doesn't happen until February (assuming it happens), it would be before a video.

[captainhowdy]

My Girls and Today's Supernatural happened before freebirds. They are promotional material to hype an album.

[Texas Trill]

If they do make a music video for a song on this album I hope it actually adds something to the music. There's only a handful of AC and AC side projects music videos that are worth watching a second time

[LadsFromOsaka]

I honestly wouldn't even blame the band for breaking up and never releasing the songs just to spite some of you jerks. Wait, no, I would totally blame the band for that, that would be petty, carry on.

[WoodenSails]

The 30 second snippets grew on me so hard imo...there seems to be this "sonic mosaic" thing running through the songs i have heard where they shift and flow and break and it's such an interesting way to follow their droney and more soundscapey stuff. It feels like such a logical place for their sound to go.

[WoodenSails]

There's all these weird, angular panda harmonies over the last part of Burglars and especially Vertical. And what I could hear of lyrics on Vertical sounds so sweet and cute. Theres lines like "my imagination reaches in forever" "some kind of creatures could build themselves a home" that just pop out. im tryin so hard to find the bathroom flacs and them sliding harmonies b giving me withdrawls

So I guess this forum has stooped down to the tier of 4chan. Shame, it used to be a cool place with some intelligent discussion thrown in. I guess my opinions go above your head too much, so you stoop down to petty two word insults because your taste has been criticized. No wonder the band stopped posting here long ago,

If it isn't a meme, than you can't process it right?

Please, at what point did I whine or complain without a valid reason? I'm sure if some of you played music, you would understand what my comment was inciting. If the bad wants to do a poor job of selling their album, what better way than to release a single without a murmur and offer nothing to entice its fan base. It's not like the 10th album of any band is going to ride on its musical sleeves alone. If the band is going to meet people half-way and they need to actually bring people around to the idea that this 10th album is offering something worthwhile. It's kind of a shot in the foot. They are expecting some kind of air of mystery to attract an audience, but in actuality its just a deafening empty-ness. The masses/blogs/critical listener is not hanging on the edge of their seat JUST because Animal Collective played their 10th album in an airport. Obviously someone here agrees, as it's a logical point.

Even the artwork seems hastily made, which I guess embodies the whole idea of this album's concept? It seems very unthoughtful to me, which is the opposite case with their actual music-making process.

If you read the interviews (they have done a few) they are pretty explicit about the intentionality behind the "cold release" this time around. Up to this point they have given the fans LOTS of time with new material before even recording it-- this time they are trying to do the opposite, in order to avoid "demo-itis" (as they called it). They have also decided to play much smaller venues than they did on their last tour, so there's no real need to attract an audience, these shows will sell out by their loyal following. I would argue that the whole campaign (or lack thereof) around 'Painting With' is entirely thoughtful. Also, to say that Brian DeGraw hastily made the artwork is pretty disrespectful... he posted some beautiful outtakes on his Instagram, it's obvious to me that he spent a lot of time and care on each portrait.

[Synusoid]

Did I miss a rule about not being allowed to respond if it's been more than 2 days or were you just trying to announce that you know how to read timestamps?
