Collected Animals

omg Natural Selection is crazy.

holy shit the burglars

imagine the live improv potential for recycling....... could be a new show closer or even opener + transition into the next song with that crazy ending section

when panda and avey both hit that high note singing "GOLDEN GAAAAAL!" in golden gal makes me want to cry every time fuck!!!!! its such a sweet note and it hits right between the ribs

AHHHHH I just checked what for the hell of it and IT'S CONFIRMED AS CLEAN!

And nah, ain't gonna upload it for anyone; it's all over the place now.

hate to ask, but looking for a nice crunch

RRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!



Gotta wait till I get home 2 listen, but listening will commence.

overall sound/production and synths overall all over this album is gorgeous.

i think this easily ties sj/mpp for me, and easily at least a bit better than chz. and it has the benefit of being fresh too. such a god damn good album. so many good vibes

omg Natural Selection is crazy.

it is techno-Ramones!

The Burglars is right up there with the very best songs in their catalog

PM me for FLACs, I'll be here for an hour or so :^)

Making my way through "Hocus Pocus" right now and

The Burglars is right up there with the very best songs in their catalog

it's probably my favourite song here. it reminds me of 'happiness is a warm gun' structurally - consisting of different non-repeating parts, flowing one into another perfectly.

The Burglars is right up there with the very best songs in their catalog

kinda feel that way abt all avey songs except maybe fldada. vert, burg, bagels, delay and golden are all kind of insane in their own way. i dont quite like vertical as much as the latter three, but godddaaaaamn. soooo good.

Any golden girls fans wanna find what episode the golden gal sample is from?

on first listen right now and it's real good

this is my favorite stuff avey has written ever

first thoughts...

wonderfully complex album

initial favorites: hocus pocus vertical the burglars

on delay might be the most psychedelic things they've ever done

i love the "i wasn't there when moses parted the sea" line in Bagels

Tons to like and love

Painting With is total fans record.

Spilling Guts isn't being talked about enough.

Its so fucking catchy and head-bobbing-able, and doesn't overstay its welcome. Plus the lyrics, and that last vocal part at the end is delivered with so much emotion.

"Take the hit or take the fall,

Fall back. Fall back. Fall back. Fall back."

Any golden girls fans wanna find what episode the golden gal sample is from?

Rose: I feel depressed.
Blanche: Is this about Arnie?
Dorothy: No Blanche she's upset because they keep changing the taste of coke.

I was #teamnoleak until the FLAC got out. Now on my first listen and I gotta say it is wonderfully complex and as kooky as I was expecting.

The doo doo doos in Bagels though

golden gal is too good. more mature little fang vibes. reminds me a bit of Dent May, eastover wives maybe

I'm absolutely blown out of the water by how good this is. I knew I would enjoy it, but this is much, much better than I thought it would be.

ya its too good. honestly kind of my favorite aspects of mpp and chz combined.


so golden gal shld still officially come out today right? any second now unless there's a delay, cuz it kinda seems like it or a vid alrdy shoulda dropped

I can't believe that 17 years into a career these guys are still shocking me with what they can do. I'm beside myself.

At this point, I am just really, really, REALLY digging all of the bg nuances that got lost in the LE Crosley release. That bell-ish/jangly sound that someone is just absolutely shaking/hitting the hell out of during the last part of "Burglars" makes me so goddamn giddy! And that vocoded part in the bg in "Golden Gals" saying something like "Where you at? Where you at?"(???). This is basically everything I wanted out of CHz; what I didn't like so much about CHz (and kinda admired at the same time) was that it sounded like a near-flooded space engine flying full speed through a radiated gas cloud.

4 listens in and this may be their best post-feels album
very strong for a band going so long

ya its too good. honestly kind of my favorite aspects of mpp and chz combined.

maybe they're punishing us...

heading to my studio ahorita to do some painting with but first gonna do some driving with

I have no idea where this is gonna fall among the AC discog personally... Listened to it ~5 times already.

Fav trax Hocus Pocus, The Burglars, Bagels in Kiev, and Golden Gal (although On Delay/Spilling Guts/Recycling are dope too). Def no bad songs

they did a great job incorporating more reverby/droney elements in songs like Hocus, Bagels, and On Delay. Also did a fantastic job of keeping the songs v v v interesting despite how short they are.

Recycling is a GREAT closer, a great change from the past few (which have all been great, just a bit samey vibe-wise). Reminds me of something that would be on SMiLE or something (kek beach boys) but only the end of it.

All in all the boyz did a great job keeping this album fresh throughout it, the melodies are grEat, the instrumentation is extraordinary, the writing/vocal split among songs also helps with the "freshness." Maybe their poppiest album, 100% unique and still AnCo though, and while I didn't exactly get the same feely feels that I got from other records, I think after more listens/lyrical understanding/general warming up to the songs I'll get there. Rn I give it a 9/10

I wanna hear New Town Burnout -> Summing the Wretch live

Summing the wretch not getting enough love.

Summing might be my fav track

listening to the 320 now, so much better

On Delays the showstopper

On Delay, On Delay, arriba, arriba!

She's a beaut.

This is like listening to it again brand new. It hits so hard in HQ.

Also, this is a production masterpiece. Thanks Ben H. Allen, IV.

That video =

Loving the video! And to anyone still holding out for release day to listen to whole glorious album but is Ok with hearing the singles, Domino just sent me an email with a download link to "Golden Gal".
