Collected Animals

Fuuuck man we were spelling out 'ok aquarium'.

oh

Sounds like the title of an album where AnCo covers all of OK Computer.

drool

their on a plain cover is the bomb

I think I prefer AC's version of Polly to the original.

i think i like OG polly better but oh mann on a plain cover is a killer. i also really like AC polly obviously but yeah opinion

ac has such perfect halloween-time material!

they really do.

Listening to Alvin Row on the way to my last ever school day was incredible, it was almost too much to take in.

would have been better after your last school day ! but it's all the same in the end whatever that means

Am I the only dude who only listens to AC, and only AC ? or are there others out there too .... ?

for a while yes
then for a while no
then i listened to 08/09 boots again and thought "why would i listen to anything else"

why would you do that to yourself

so much out there

If I'm not mistaken pumpkin is a teenager right? I know I had a phase of ONLY listening to AC when I was 17.

i guess it's just that when i was in high school i took the train there, so i spent a ton of time listening to music everyday

i think i would've burnt out on AC if i just listened to them only… but that's just me of course

although when a new AC release happens, i definitely binge on it for weeks
(and in tomboy's case, years)

AC's discog is so diverse, you can spend a lot of time just exploring. But as most of us know, eventually you've heard everything and maybe you're still not satisfied. So we get a situation like last night where a lot of us were jonesing real hard for a new bootleg that never came. We are addicts.

senior in high school here, when i was a sophomore, no other band existed ha.

At my most obsessive listening binges, it was probably around 70% for a few months and evening out to 50% for the majority of the first year i was into them.

Pumpkin ain't no youngin'. I am twenty actually hah !

But I guess I just realized that there is no other music out there that can come close to the way AC makes me feel. Lyrically, structurally, it's all just too perfect to me. I know you guys feel the same way. I know there is other music out there, and I listen to it, occasionally, but just that

I love you guys

my listening consists of like 99 percent AC, but theres always a few songs by other bands that i like enough to throw in there

^ that accurately describes my listening habits ...

but its so nice to come back to them after a break. I think I could listen to them every day and not get tired of them but when I go through their albums after a gap of 2-3 months it all just hits me so much harder. tolerance breaks are good for most things you enjoy, and the more you love it the sweeter it is when you go back to it.

on an unrelated note Ive been listening to Terrestrial Tones again. didnt think it was worth starting a new topic and I know its been discussed but do you guys think well ever get another album from them? I remember someone saying a couple years ago that they asked eric and he said the two of them were just in really different places style wise but to me theyre closer in style now than when they made the albums. I hope it happens sometime, seems like they could make some awesome stuff together with where theyve both been going.

there's no other band like AC. at a couple points in my life i've been absolutely obsessed and probably gone a like month or so without listening to anything else, and those were good times!

but yeah, obviously there is so much great stuff out there -if you are willing to work a bit at finding it! a forum like this is an excellent resource!

AC is definitely not the only band I listen to, but I talk about them ALL THE TIME. I don't even realize it all the time haha. I would say I'm obsessed.
Me and my best friend were talking to someone, and afterwards he said "dude, we're both so obsessed with Animal collective. We bring them up so much!"

By FAR my favorite band ever, even if I'm listening to a different artist more at the time.

I'd call AC my favourite band but they're part of a group of 3 or 4 bands that are on a very similar level and are very important to me, but yeah there's so much great stuff out there that it's always good to find other stuff you like.

Spongeluke is fresh as fuck, I've listened to it so many times.

lets pray today

spongeluke rules so much.
I wish we had more recordings of it

I have never ever listened to Spongeluke

I've listened to it exactly once and I don't remember it.

I have never ever listened to Spongeluke

WHAT omg hash you need to hear it. Avey's vocal melody is pure magic.

OH MY GOD ! Everyone who has NOT listened to Sponge Luke , PLEASE listen to it. It's really wild and a good time. Unlike any other AC song you have heard. It's really magical and a trip !

I haven't heard Sponge Luke either

would this be the ideal version to listen to?
