Collected Animals

Hows the quality? Im not able to listen yet, debating whether I should just wait the 4 days at this point, or listen to it once with the freebird and somehow abstain for the remaining days lol

yeah stan what the fuck happened

I'll go on record and say best vocal performances and just SOUNDS ever. This is truly sublime. These arrangements are truly truly top notch.

Stan you are making me so happy.

If you love it, they're back!

Love this place. Loving all the positive energy/excitement.

The problem with living in the future (Australia) is that you're asleep when all the action happens!

Tetsuo - please kick me in the pink bits.

What a glorious time. Can not wait to revel in this album. It is already so special.

Sorry about the chipmunk Strung guys I just thought I'd ffwd because I listened to it loads recently

it's funny listening to this album and thinking about all of the studio versions that are going up against their live counterparts and then you add fucking SWE on top. this album is a god damn song based collection.

it's good. i think i like this rip of PJ better than the digital

Hearing these studio recordinfgs just makes me so much more excited for studio DEFEAT and SEA OF LIGHT

Also best alb um closer of all time. It just is.

royal and desire getting me so close to tears right now, wow

Yeah PJ sounds pretty good, but I skipped to Strung and it sounds so bad. What the hell. Any other ones like that?

Not sure what happened with Strung, it has really bad compression and scratchiness to it for some reason. It's all good though, we have the official single released anyway.

@rohcti no its the only one that's like that.

this og rip is good but not THAT good.

a boosted one should tide me over (thanks Tetsuo)

This all feels so big. I've been feeling this with the singles the last week, but hearing this entire thing and playing it loud, you can really feel it in your chest. It's so full. Which is a beautiful and unexpected surprise even though I love the sparseness of the solo works of the last few years.

These tracks nestle themselves so perfectly in my love for Jenny Hval and Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith right now. Wow.

Yeah Royal and Desire is full tearjerking spine tingling perfection.

excited to hear yours tetsuo!! please do not forget me in the PM wave

Would also like to hitch a ride on the Tetsuo Skiff if its no trouble...

im listening to this for the first time while on the L train and i love thinking about someone looking over my shoulder seeing me listen to Pee Pee - Beach Boys on Acid

Man, it is 9:45am on Monday here. I am stuck at work for the next 8 hours. Then I have to go home and parent etc. I'm not going to hear this for at least another 11 hours and its killing me!

Barely hear the steel guitar in Drag Slayer. Still affecting. Holy fuck. This song is huge. Can people buy TS 2 on CD. Please

As much "fun" as this long buildup has been for skiffs. I am so fucking happy TS2 is likely not that far off.

just want to say thank you to the rippah

this sounds great for being a vinyl rip imo

it really does. thanks stan

ok ya stan i do get what you mean about that one weird melody change in PB verse. But its cool, he does go the right way at some points that are only slightly different.

does he say TY passerby at end tho?

It’s fucked that it’s hard to even wait to listen to Tetsuo’s updated rip to listen to it again.

It’s so good.

Please PM when it’s finished :’)

The boosted version helps a lot. And the original rip wasn't bad at all, just a bit quiet. I kind've like the air the rip gives Prester John.

man, ok. that listen through will get me through the week. those chord variations in Royal go such a long way. and with the sax...whisk me awayyy

Haven't cried to music in while but Cherokee just hit and . Whew .

Edit thank you dudes x

I'm going to sleep now, I really must, but if you anyone can pm me Tet's boosted version when it comes, that would would be great.

I should also say it's the least you can do for me hunting down and buying the vinyl and ripping it on my Crosley Jr. and uploading it to mega.

Stan The Man

There's a fucking sax on an animal collective record. New orleans changed them

do not believe the lies about passerby getting nerf'd

it's perfect

Can I get this boosted one floating around, por favor?

i also need that boosted bird please

Wow strung

if boosted means split up, I'll take it too!

me too on the boosted/split bird please

New to actually posting here but have been a lurker and reader for years. If anyone was so kind as to send a punch (maybe this new boost when ready) to the new guy I'd appreciate it so much.

Wow cherokee

CHEROKEE IS A FUCKING JAM. Sent out links fellas, hope you enjoy. Now time to listen myself. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
