Collected Animals

I've got On Delay slowed down and it will make you cry/die/live. Seriously who wants this.

Look!........new album fits perfectly in the scheme of it all...if you cant figure out how, then you lose...you dont listen to music creatively lol

I wish people would appreciate Animal Collective giving us every possible dynamic of their spectrum...but im not going to start expecting people to do the right thing at this point in my life

This album's songs are the answer to when you wanna be in their vibe but you dont wanna murk it out with 5 minute+ long songs (w/huge intro/outros)

For that purpose, I think they succeeded, and if you cant click into that, you just suck, sorry

the bass stabs on spilling guts remind me a bit of friendship bracelet

Lost count of how many times I listened to this tonight.
Had it on loop playing splatoon with my brother. We both laughed every time at the opening sample to hocus pocus. We both drummed a lot on the shit around us. On Delay is incredible, feels like fast forwarding through pictures and clips of a trip. Beautiful.
Fuckin a
And now there are boots on the way. AC so good

Does anyone else think they might play some new jams from the album after Painting With on this tour, just like how they used to ?

I kind of think they might

welcome back fov

PW has received great reviews in France so far from Rock and Folk (4/5) and Les Inrock (4,5)!! They say the band deliberately started from scratch with this album and managed to bring more fresh ideas to pop music with 1 album than 99% of ordinary indie bands in their entire career




love to everyone, looking forward to seeing the band at la Cigale in Paris

fav tracks in order from 1st: golden gal, recycling, lying in the grass, natural selection, floridada, summing the wretch
8

favorite songs on this are def waterloo and dancing queen

Whats up ODDSACs .... this is the first week in 3 months I've hardy been on here.. So awesome so many of yous enjoying their new album!! I haven't been able to put it down myself!

i did read somewhere about the missing "wtf" moment on the new album ... My "WTF" moment was the WHOLE album. Lyrical too ... its astonishing that (Avey I'm referring to) how many creative ways he can use words to make an old subject seem new. As I love all their LP's and EP's for all different reason, this album is no exception.

yeah i love this album

holy moly spilling guts!!!!!! sleeper hit for sure

edit sleeper hit might not be the right term but you know what I mean

After almost 20 listens, this keeps getting better and better
One of their finest albums

"this new animal collective doesn't fit into my pre-existing animal collective hole" - everyone, since forever

i dont think thats fair to say. sung tongs is different from feels which is different from strawberry jam which is different from mpp, but they all have a certain magic to them that ties them together as work from the same band and i love them. basically, i feel like i dont know who made this album when i look at what different things theyve been capable of

no it's not fair.
it's as easy to say that than to say " there's magic missing" like I myself said.
but it's indeed very hard to explain, if it can be explained at all,
but as an AC fan I know AC is precisely not the band to fit in any pre-existing hole, they always shifted in form with every album, and that's part of why we're all such big fans.

it's about they way they used sound that was always so sophisticated and ingenious , that arose from their own magic feels-place (wich is not a place ofc, hence the problem of the linguistic explanation of art .) and it's precisely that wich you cannot explain, in any art form.

there's still ingenious moments that i feels on this album, i mean, they're still inventive as hell, but it's just not as mindblowing and inspired/inspiring.

just listen to Unsolved mysteries, Also Frightened, WWIS, Mr.Fingers/Kindle Song, Cuckoo cuckoo, Water Curses, and so on, and so on.

listening to them, they're all so different and can't be fitted in any AC-hole except for their extraordinary use of song-structures, sounds and feels in a degree that I cannot hear in any of these songs (or any of the Chz songs, except for Monkey Riches maybe)

but again, I do love this album, I love the light there is in this thing, the joy and the uplifting melodies
wich are inventive and playful ( a thing I missed since Chz) and very well-composed.

I can't listen to anything else atm, it grows,
and I smile with each listen,
something wich I haven't done with any new AC-rellated album since Chz.

nice review from the AV club!

I wasn't there when your Grandpa parted the sea, I wasn't there with Moses back in Kiev.


I really wish these were the lyrics. hehehe

Your avatar is killing me hahahaha

Seems like we all (mostly) like different things for different reasons - because music is personal - but we all like Animal Collective, and we're alive, and here, and we're going to enjoy the shit out of these lives shows. Makes me happy!

For some reason, the bright, sunny, and clear vocals are very "spring" and earnest and hopeful. I felt the same about Rihanna's new album as well. There's a kind of bright sunshine to the vocals that seems to be a new trend that makes me happy.

Your avatar is killing me hahahaha

haha thanks rampface. just for the CA to enjoy. I'd kill to see that movie.

Someone crunchitize my cornhole

Throw two hacks attempting to chip it return of the bat crack in a place called Camden

didn't realize there was an O's reference in the lyrics to "On Delay"
dats cool...

I love the bit in on delay "it was niiiiiiiiiiiiice, it happened twiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice"

That is so fuckin funny to me, like they're pointing out how silly the delay effect is, even after they've used it so much in the past.

I haven't yet read the lyrics for that one though, what is it actually about?

Are there any songs on this album that strike you guys as lending themselves well to extended live jams?

I'm thinking recycling

someone posted this on tonight's show thread. figured y'all would wanna know. looks like tonight's show will be steaming live in YouTube

oh hellz yes
edit: OH HEELLLLLZZZZZ YESSSSSSS

holy shit, nice!

I know how i'll be spending my friday night

That's sick that someone is streaming the show, but I will say that it looks a little sketch to me, like it's just a random yt channel called "Streaming 2016" that I've never heard of before. Just don't wanna get psyched for the stream if it ends up being shitty quality/bad sound etc. The link in the video description also seems kinda sketch

but hey, I wasn't aware of this stream's existence until this morning so if it turns out to be not that great, I won't really be disappointed

Can someone find out if this is legit? I was going to record the show with my tascam, but if this is happening it'd be nice to not have to.

Also, I'll throw up some pics of the merch table once I get in the venue.
