Collected Animals

ugh cool thread title, so edgy

I may just be in the total wrong mood... Nothing is really hitting me besides the panda bear vocals on second half of burglars. Im scared

It's both misleading (they haven't even released a review yet) and a reference to a shit site

Please don't put (9.0 it's ok) in the title.

I feel the same. however I hear alot of intersting stuff happening and I am delighted with the stuff I hear (much more so the case than with CHZ) . but no, like I said after hearing LITG I feel that I miss something. The same feeling I had after hearing CHZ. like they're just less " into it " or something... not that the spirit has vanished, but it's not fully there.

2nd verse of hocus pocus with the drawn out vocals is amazing. Also to people who aren't into or think the dudes don't seem as into it, I would point to the ending of golden gal, which has them singing in a way that I haven't heard since sung tongs imo. It's a classic ac ending to a song, but sounds very fresh. Also panda's vocals at the end of on delay are RAW.

Feel like Natural Selection isn't getting a lot of love, but it's growing on me.

Also, the weirdest track, imo, usually becomes my favorite (Rosie Oh, Lion in a Coma, #1, Loch Raven...), but I have no idea what track is the "weird" or most experimental track on PW

this album rules

often my least favourite moments to a new release eventually become my favourite
ac releases almost always get better with time

i like how noah compared their music to a magic eye
how they're blurry at first but then make sense

i remember how disappointed i was when strawberry jam came out how polished it was and didn't seem psyc enough
i remember how disappointed i was with merriweather how it had no screaming and wasn't psych enough
i remember when chz came out and felt like too much like rock music and wasn't psych enough

"you suffer because you desire" - buddha

eventually all these albums are now perfect to me in their own ways. now i just trust their genius

this album is so far is awesome

^like yr saying this 320 still isnt full quality? sounds real to me


also, was thinking all the latin-y hocketing vocals are like boys latin, but they also kind of go all the way back to leaf house in a way. in natural selection, that rihanna-y eh-eh-eh-eh thing is just like a faster version of part of leaf house. idk, this is like futuristic techno leaf house all over pandas songs. and fldada and vertical are sorta like weird new rabbits

just want to say there is a huge quality (that bass) difference between 320 freebird, youtube, and that of official download

im having a hard time feeling this record as a whole, there are things i like about it. i really like all the sounds they chose to use for the records, but the mood, melodies, and way panda and avey are singing together i just cant really feel for a full length. mayb things will start to change, but for now, today, im feeling pretty underwhelmed

the vocal melody of summing the wretch reminds me of some nursery rhyme that i can't put my finger on

can anyone tell me what im thinking of?

Very excited to see how they pull this off live and what old songs they bring back. Guys Eyes and Taste seem to fit pretty naturally. As for jams that I think would work well but will never ever happen...Bat You'll Fly, Native Belle, Water Curses, Winter Wonder Land. One can dream...
