ok but who is this guy making an account on CA to talk about his political leanings as relevant to enjoying Feels lol

Fucking funny too. His username translates to Man of Oil. I’m all for AC fans, whatever hole they crawl out from. I’m no gem.

You guys remember Bubbloy or whatever his handle was? I sometimes wonder if he’d survive this era of CA. Dude was pure id. Lots of youngsters on here now with their narrow little minds looking to pounce.

quit harshing the buzz, brah. we're havin a good time here

Oooo, no. I've got 40 years to go but it'll be a cold day in hell before I willingly listen to country radio

Couldn’t take a photo but there’s a billboard with just the “Isn’t It Now?” text against orange in Los Angeles’s Silver Lake on Sunset & Lucile. Album rollout has officially begun

[jordanrandall]

It's on Amazon with a release date of Sept 29th

And this description:

At this point, it is almost impossible to say what makes for a classic Animal Collective album; the standard fluctuates with the weather, your temperament, whatever chemicals may or may not waft through your mind. But from start to finish, first listen to last, Isn’t It Now? absolutely lands as a classic, its mix of playfulness and earnestness, glittery pop and tessellated textures seeming to synthesize and update all that has ever made and still makes this band so compelling. It is experienced and wise, energized and young, the work of four people committed to finding the frontier of a beginner’s mind, together. Recorded, mixed and co-produced by Russell Elevado (D’Angelo, The Roots, Kamasi Washington).

I’ve been an AC fan for 20 years now. It’s very disheartening to see fans reduce each other to political talking points. We are all better than that. Transcend the boxes they try to put us in, cmon.

Huge libcuck energy over here, am I right guys??






Sorry I don't mean it, I'm just trolling today to keep myself from ripping my eyeballs out of my skull.

[tdegenaro]

Extreme Reddit and spiritposting energy right now. Hope the single drops early today and snaps everybody out of it smh.

this board is like, way too close to Defeat and probably a sticking point and main discourse of the average listener of this album is gonna be "there is an over indulgent 22 minute song smack dab in the middle" (that the average listener will either end up skipping or flip to side D) ... and they're probably not wrong.

Defeat could probably stand to loseat least 5 minutes, if not more. I mean, I like Defeat, but I think the album could benefit from it NOT being on the album. a brisk & breezy lil 42 minute LP instead of a 64 minute doozy.

goodbye!

Shout out to this dude for somehow not having the worst post of the last 12 hours lmao

I did actually cherry pick the term libcuck from Reddit to be as aggressively annoying as possible. But yes please let's hurry it along with the single because I'm getting absolutely zero work done.

[tdegenaro]

Tay you absolutely nailed it lmao

All these reddit/spirit fucks fucking the fucking place the fuck up this morning.

that one post is bout to make Tap nuke the forum for good. the idea that someone would self describe as a conservative rural guy on collectedanimals.org in 2023 is inscrutable to my brain

Equally goofy post imo

[preacherben]

No actually

[tay's tee games]

So isn't this Defeat track pretty great everyone??? I wonder if the rest of this album is going to be just as good? Does anybody have any opinions on this subject?

[Slothrope]

Y’all need to get your souls captured

[foxtrot]

Can we have our thread back now?

I hope the rest of the album has some more of that synth flute sound that’s on the first section of Defeat at some point. It fits the psychedelic medieval thing so well.

I was listening to the blast tracks this morning and am of the opinion that stride rite is deeply underrated. thoughts?

[foxtrot]

Yeh I listened to a 2022 live version yesterday and I think it’s even better than Royal and Desire. It’s going to be absolutely glorious.

[muark]

Stride '21 is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. I think if any track is gonna give me demoitis then that's the one.

Code: Select all

That's a Deal song isn't it? While I absolutely love Wide Eyed and R&D, I am not a fan of Sleep Cycle at all. Haven't been doing any boots, and I don't remember the live show at all but I'm hoping it's more Royal and less Sleep

[foxtrot]

Yeh it’s like a more epic, sweeping kind of Royal.

That said, you really need to give Sleep Cycle another chance. Especially Just Am.

[Slothrope]

stride has never hit hard for me, even seeing it live several times. hopefully studio magic will change that

[tay's tee games]

Yeah looking forward to Stride more than any of the other under-8 minute tracks. Think it's poss my favourite Deak track (peak Deak?). I get R&D for what it is but have never loved it the way other people seem to.

[tdegenaro]

I would say stride rite is definitely more royal than sleep, though i too love sleep cycle.

[wilandhugs]

Just woke up and now it's time for the longest hour ever!!!

I love Stride, been listening to it ever since the boots in 19. Really wonder how it'll be in the studio. Wish I saw it live though, never got to see it and passerby even after I went to three shows. Feel like it might be pretty different, or very similar to the 22 shows.

[awesome]

sooo......... think we'll get a video today with the single?

[foxtrot]

It’s now 11:10pm on Wednesday in Australia. I’ve been crossing my fingers this thing would arrive early. How confident are we that it’ll arrive at 10am EST?
