Collected Animals

if noah likes ronaldo more than messi it'll break my heart

its not wrong to like ronaldo more i mean he isnt as good so u can respect all the hard work he put into even be close to messi

that said i hope they play winter wonderland next tour so they can top messi

messi isn't overrated... he's objectively better than ronaldo and objectively one of the best players of all time

Please guys, please :'(

Messi can only do like two things well and the only reason he succeeds is because of the system he's in and the team built around him

0 (Zero) goals in the knockout stages of last world cup is pretty indicative of that! I'm not saying Ronaldo is better, but there are better players than Messi out there currently playing.

you know what's really "Messi" now? this thread.

Burn

that's cool
If the albums rec'd quick cos their best when they're not overcooked

so lets guess how many tracks?
how many with panda?
how many words on the title?

maybe this time we get the JOY BANG

lol


yeah I don't think recording quickly after writing is necessarily going to make for a worse album

10 tracks
3 with grammy boy
1 instrumental/heavily masked vocals
4 word title

Haha

i'd really like to see a 1-word title for this one

Merriweather Post Pavilion Two

I would have said "Geo's on it so there'll be exactly one S in the title" but Centipede Hz broke the trend, so now I just don't know

I hope they recorded some extra songs for EPs and b-sides! I wonder if not touring the songs in advance will mean there will be less of them this go-around.

maybe is a small album like down there with 9 songs?

It's super exciting. The fact that they didn't want, or feel the need, to flesh out the songs live surely indicates something. Maybe something less experimental is on the way. Maybe it's a total departure from their usual stuff (fully instrumental). It's interesting too because when they do tour it, are they gonna keep incorporating old songs? If it's a true departure, can they?

I can't help but feel all the DJing plays a bigger part. And the modular synths, if they used them.

This place will explode when they drop a single

DISCO DENNIS

This place will explode when they drop a single

Hopefully it's just as abrupt. Like, single + album details dropped out of nowhere.

At least we'll have PB's EP to tide us over at some point this year.

And we can look forward to Deak's album sometime before the heat death of the universe.

ive knownthey finished the album for a couple days but it just occurred to me that they didnt tour the songs at all before recording lol... im dense man, to a t

Maybe it's a total departure from their usual stuff

dave told to someone here that the songs are very "animal collective"
i guess is impossible to know what he means with that... but those words makes me think more about a style that they already used than a totally different new one.. somehow i think about lonely wanderer and how it sounds like a track from feels...

but who knows..

i honestly have no idea, the more i think the more i know i will be surprised somehow. they could have picked so many different vibes... i dont want any big spoilers, just wish to have some light in which kind of direction they went.

sorry if someones already mentioned this, cant search the thread right now, but last night noah told a guy im following on instagram that Deak is not on the album.

confirmed for doing a solo album...? who knows

Before the heat death? Nah, Deak's album will be released when we're all in a post-existence nirvana state

dave told to someone here that the songs are very "animal collective"

All of their albums have totally different sounds from each other yet they all sound very "animal collective" - not sure that indicates anything

this album will inevitably get compared to mpp even though in all likelyhood it will sound nothing like it

imagine if all three of them used octatracks

orrrrr literally anything. idk about anyone else, but i don't interpret "very animal collective" as "centipede hz 2." also, I doubt they'd make something similar without the involvement of Deakin

I think he was make joke

not exactly joking... but also I wouldn't be SHOCKED if it ended up sounding nothing like Centipede Hz

just saying Centipede Hz is the album that most sounds like "Animal Collective doing Animal Collective" to me. And I feel like at the time Centipede Hz was in the works they said it sounded "very Animal Collective" too. Just at this point I'm not really expecting a very sharp turn.

I imagine it will sound like Avey Tare, Panda Bear, and Geologist making sounds. Very Anco

No deakin will sadden me extraordinarily. But suppose if it is true , he's doing his thing.

For sure that album would make most sense. But wow WA weewa that caught me off guard.

Two albums , same release ? Ha maybe ...

Can anyone confirm that they wrote separately and then came together to flesh things out? And how long they were working together on this thing? I am so scared that they didn't tour with any of this material; it seemed that was a core of their writing process. Is there any other album that they did that with? Early ones like Spirit and Campfire maybe? Can you imagine them truncating their writing process from years to months? I am excited tho.

Maybe after jamming it all just came together so awesome that they went with it....?

I wonder what the setup is going to be. Wondering if Pandas sticking with a full kit or not. It'll be especially interesting to see what stays in rotation (from CHz) once they do start touring again. Ima bet New Town Burnout and Amanita

maybe they have toured these songs before and its just 9 diff versions of from a beach

really hoping this just sneaks up on us and is secretive. would really love a big surprise in the ending

(but im totally gonna listen to anything i can get my hands on if we're given hints of it)

yeah like if they can pull off a surprise release i'll scream

What if the whole album was a big transition?
