Nice sound!
One of the only negative things I can say is that changing the lyrics to "if the West is threatened... are you also frightened?" makes the song seem xenophobic, haha... I don't think AC would ever sing about being frightened of "the west being threatened".
The original lyrics are something like "When influence is threatened" in case that was just a mistake.

it could also be a reference to the "wild west" of the united states or something. i think calling out xenophobia is a bit silly

Yeah i wouldnt automatically assume that its what they meant by the lyric change. but your interpretation is still valid

I dunno, that was just the first thing that came to my mind seeing westerners say "the west is threatened"
how would the wild west be threatened today
I mean, they probably just thought the lyrics were "if the west is threatened" and just ran with it so whatever. No big deal. I just thought it was funny how it made it so easy to interpret it like that.

gaaaawwwd, i rly hadnt listened to must be a treeman or fickle cycle in a long time
Tykes who feast but do not pray
Sun dried cheeks and sun dyed grains
Spilled in the house that they leave like geese
Travel in the night like a pearl thief
Believe in ghosts and set them free
Bury your heart, don’t shake that sheet
Give your teeth to the crocodile cave
Under my wings and on my head
Twisting heads with the sounds of change
Change so often they’ll be dead
Kissing the people that you’ll all burn
Trusting your friends without thinking best
Leaving yourself to kill your grief
Rooms can be lonely, but that don’t mean
I want a son who can float and fly
I’ll take a daughter who laughs and cries
When you are home you can do as you please
Some have homes in falling trees
One day our homes will all fall down
One day your body will be in the ground

I love that country interpretation of Also Frightened. Well executed, even if the lyrics have that xeno overtone.

Haha, was talking with my experimental music teach and he was talking about how tired he is of bands building songs in the structure of either 4 bars, or 4/4 time, or using any multiple of 2 as the form of their song as he said off to the side "It makes me mad - aww Animal Collective you're fucking up!" I literally loled. He's a cool guy though.

An experimental music class would be the greatest thing ever, wish I could go to one.

Yeah I always thought Aeroplane Over the Sea was a weird album. I mean dude, you didn't even KNOW Anne Frank.

She is a historical figure though so you 'know' her in some way (also don't even front like that isn't in any way a gross and weird concept for an album). I think y'all know what i mean anyway.

I was being a smart ass. Anyway, I guess if you looked at it with a perverted perspective it would be, but that's not what it's about at all. It's about the tragedy of how a girl with a pure heart and soul had her life ended by evil people. "The only girl I've ever loved was born with roses in her eyes, but then they buried her alive one evening, 1945"

That video is really special. Very serene and peaceful moment between two lovers, at the time, it was just very sentimental to watch. I never get tired of that video myself. That was a good time
