best song on the album easy

Post **Posted:** Mon Jan 31, 2022 12:35 am

maybe you've seen my posts, i'm an old head who is cynical as fuck and crusty for their heyday but...RnD is truly one of their best songs and certainly the jawdropper of the album. from the live experience to....this perfect messy diamond of song, thank you animal collective, its been years

Post **Posted:** Mon Jan 31, 2022 12:37 am

those guitar chords on the slow part kill me right dead

I liked Sleep Cycle but never as much as people sometimes really idolize it. But this... I get it now. Josh is a complete genius.

Is this off base at all?

Post **Posted:** Mon Jan 31, 2022 4:55 am

methinks that the rhythm guitar towards the end is playing some 7th chords on the top 3 strings. I can't make out the key
(yet) but I'm pretty sure I hear F/F# with some kinda high string 7ths.

Yea holy ffuck their prettiest song ever. Jaw dropping

Post **Posted:** Mon Jan 31, 2022 5:39 am

There's at least 3 different moments in this song that are just so unbelievably beautiful, in the way that the best AC stuff is where it just totally overwhelms you:
1. The moment where Josh's vocals first come in.
2. The drums steadily getting more intense at around 2:30
3. And of course the big climactic high notes near the end, and basically everything that follows til it's over.

They couldn't have had a more perfect closing song for this album, like it enhanced everything that came before it.

Jay Z voice: "Sounds so soulful don't you agree?"

The fact that this exists makes no sense. It's beyond perfect.

That short part with the harmonies around 3 minutes in...... I weep every time it's absolutely sublime.

Post **Posted:** Mon Jan 31, 2022 10:16 am

It's too fucking much

Post **Posted:** Mon Jan 31, 2022 10:17 am

Teared up. One of their best songs ever.

This thread is hyping me up, cannot wait. Also never listened to the boots outside of down down down and defeat so allll new and fresh

Post **Posted:** Mon Jan 31, 2022 6:47 pm

this song is triumphant. i feel like theres a tension on the album that isnt released until this song starts, and then it absolutely soars. Washes of color and glorious vocals. The power of Noah’s drumming, too!! Goddamn.

This is the moment that got me too, I really didnt see it coming and got choked up

The crescendo into guitar into that harmony is cosmic divinity that only deakin and animal collective could conjure

Well put, this is exactly how I felt. As soon as I heard the opening chords I was instantly like "ooooh ok I 'get' this album now".
