Ahhh Good Country is by far the worst song on Danse.
Centipede Hz and Painting With are both far better than Sung Tongs.
Feels is their magnum opus, not Merriweather.
#1 is the worst song from Strawberry Jam.
What the fuck man! Ahhh Good Country and #1 are fantastic songs and Sung Tongs and MPP are fucking classics. You can fuck right off m8!
lol

"naaaah they picked a shitty nickname I'm gonna use the joke name invented by hipsterrunoff after Merriweather came out instead" in which case you're a bad person
YES!! AL OF THIS!!! that stupid ass joke website that facetiously called the band that dumbass shit when there already was a largerly accepted nickname usurped by ppl that KNO NO BETTER
im pretty sure "the animal collective" is more accepted among the band since theyve called themselves that MORE TIMES (since theyve never called themselves "AnCo" lol) on record (WE BID YOU GOODNIGHT COVER CIRCA 2004/'05 [THE AC LOVES U BEST {EVEN IF THAT IS SORTVE A STRETCH}])!!!!!!!
Getting upset about the use of anco is the epitome of inanity.
Like idc either way cuz I'm reasonable and I shouldn't stoop 2 explain it but like come on ac rlly is commonly used 2 refer to that thing some ppl use in the summer so it kinda makes sense 2 use the other 1. No one will eve b confused and like maybe it sounds stupid but no ones making u actually pronounce it, like take control of yr own mind smh

ANY1 WHO SAYS "ANCO" UNIRONICALLY WHEN REFERRING TO THE ANIMAL COLLECTIVE IS A HIPSTER JACK OFF WHO THINKS DANSE IS HARD 2 LISTEN
who cares what someone calls a band? anco sounds great.. also A.C. the old nickname for anco sucks because AC is an air conditioner or if you are anywhere from the north east, it stands for atlantic city... so those acronym A,C, has been done taken mad long ago son.
also calling someone a hipster is the worst dude bro... it doesnt even mean anything.
AC has been used by the band in an official and unofficial capacity for over a decade. Prospect Hummer literally has "AC" written on the CD I'm pretty sure. It's on their facebook, YouTube, reddit etc.
If you call them "AnCo" I assume you've either missed ALL of that somehow, or you've noticed them calling themselves that countless times and thought "naaaah they picked a shitty nickname I'm gonna use the joke name invented by hipsterrunoff after Merriweather came out instead" in which case you're a bad person
AnCo doesn't sound great either, it just looks and sounds obnoxious

lol at the new wordfilter, but only because I remember the exact same thing being done to "anco" before

Does the abbreviation "AnCo" bother you? Forever you guys were the AC, suddenly it's "AnCo"... sounds silly, bugs the hell out of me...
[–]DeakinAC[S] 27 points 7 days ago
eh... whatever... you know? it comes from a place of love and excitement about our music so I get it from that level.

deakin wasnt even fully on board with AnCo lol he was just like "well i cant stop them so..."
you sons of bitches
its like im testing some1 and im like "BRO, LETS WATCH SW" and were like huge ass star wars fans and hes like "WTF IS SW? YOU MEAN STOPWATCH? OR DO YOU MEAN StWa?"
Honestly though some of you people actually call them AnCo, AC, or Animal Collective?
It's Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Deakin & Geologist, dropping out and adding in names where applicable you fucking plebs

The name is whatever you feel like man... AnCo, AC, The Animal Collectives, Deakin & the Funky Bunch etc. Why does it fucking matter
Aw I haven't looked at the AMA so I didn't see that thing from Deakin about it sorry. It's reassuring to know it doesn't piss him off and I guess I should cool my jets on the issue. If the question had been "do you prefer AC or AnCo" then obviously the answer would have been AC though... and that's what I value most, not afterthought explanations about how you can't have one set of letters referring to more than one thing because A. Of course you can. AC also stands for Anal C***. It doesn't matter. And B. Your problem is with the band not the fans who call them AC since that's basically the official nickname for them.
So anyway I'll stop harping on about it and getting pissed, but I won't stop calling them AC or secretly hoping more people call the band the same thing that the band like to call themselves because that seems nicer to me. Honestly, if they were like "actually AnCo has a nice ring to it, most of us like it more than AC now" I'd start calling them AnCo in an instant.
Do what you want. Thanks for the quote.
P.S. Yeah that post about HCTI is vomit.

Except no one refers to a stopwatch as "SW" whereas lots of people refer to air conditioning as AC. I don't really know how AnCo would even compare to something as dumb as "StWa" anyway because at least AnCo is easily pronounceable.
I'm not saying AC is invalid or any less valid than AnCo, as the band use AC as the official abbreviation, I just prefer AnCo as an abbreviation. Some people prefer AC and that's cool with me. I don't see what all the fuss is about really, it's just an abbreviation after all.

I love you all and its been fun to me talking about this, hope no one took anything i said to heart. Were all allowed our own opinion on it and everyone's argument makes sense.. except for the silly star wars one lololol...
but can we all agree that deakin and the funky bunch should be their new nickname lolol.. or maybe even just DeFuBu
_________________ whats the day? what you doin? hows your mood? hows that song?
ok here's my bad dreams about the band....not all how i feel all the time....i dont wanna sound.....but yea....these are mine, sorry
- CHz and Painting With I have to try to listen to
- Geo should fuck off during interviews n let others talk
- Painting with is one album too many of this kind of material
- They need to bring back acoustic guitars and wow us again
- They could break up any day now
- If they break up Panda may just go away forever
- Deakin's album's cool, but he's slacking per band contribution
- A new album without Geo would be chill AF
- A new album without Avey would be chill AF
- They need to bump their game up to classic rock status
- ....like, able to play any of their old songs but also be exciting!
- They wont do this, who are we kidding?
- Panda's lack of vocals during CHz and PW is dissapointing
- Pulhair Rubeye is hella underrated
- Wide Awake is worst song on CHz and is not Peak DEak
- The Sung Tongs live shows were the high point of the band
- Panda's done having fun, Avey is worried about him
- PBVGR style visuals should have carried into PW live sets
- Their ATP Event had better acts than their Camping weekend
and lastly, the worst thought i have about the band...
I feel a similar way to the edge master about Panda... Sometimes he seems super sad and disinterested and like he's in it for the money, which he has sort of admitted that he's scared of not having money. That could be why he's made his poppiest music ever lately and come closest to being a "star" in whatever indie terms we define that with, while also seeming his most disinterested
what makes you think Panda is in it for the money? I don't get that impression at all
just because the music is poppier doesn't necessarily mean it's accessible. I don't really see how Grim Reaper or Painting With are examples of him just being "in it for the money". Both albums are still super weird
also I've never gotten the impression in interviews that these dudes are anything more than just a couple of friends who like to make music together, and have happened to be lucky enough to make a career out of it
Reading that people think they've sold out or whatever just bums me out because to me, AC is obviously one of those artists who really do care about the music and mostly don't give a shit about whether or not people like it or think it's cool or whatever
anyway this is the unpopular opinions thread so I'll shut up
