Ok this might be a little far-fetched but I think Bagels in Kiev might secretly be about Socialism...

Haha, I can see where you're coming from, though it seems a bit far-fetched. the boys don't seem super political. Entertaining theory though. Also what a great song

pretty surprising to hear dry hihats all over this thing, I didn't think it was ac's style.

Honestly the most surprising percussive feature on the album for me is the almost 808-esque "clapping" in the beat for Bagels

So what's that loop in Lying in the Grass saying? Totally sounds like "I would eat there" to me.

Bagels in Kiev is about how much of a bummer various conflicts in regions around the world are, framed through the context of Kiev where Avey's grandpop is from, and also bagels.

this. maybe the one thing on the album i'm not sure i like. i'm sure i'll get used to it. also this album is the bomb. couldnt wait to get home to listen again.

I reckon the vocoder at the start of spilling guts is the most fucked up thing on the album

Posted: **Thu Feb 18, 2016 9:31 am**

reminds me of the "down there" voice in LG

Just got an email from Domino with the download link for the album.

Posted: **Thu Feb 18, 2016 10:57 am**

i'm about to deflower this LP so hard now

Posted: **Thu Feb 18, 2016 10:59 am**

At least they don't give scores. Imagine this would be a whole lot lower than 6.4...

"After that, Merriweather Post Pavilion and Centipede Hz felt like self-conscious attempts at consolidation. Most of their songs stank like a plasticine balls in which too many colours had been manged together, but reviewers hedged their bets just in case they were missing something."

lol well this guy just doesn't like Animal Collective

The bridge lyrics in FloriDada start at the bridge of the song

I dunno I sort of got the impression he liked what he heard

Posted: **Thu Feb 18, 2016 11:54 am**

that was an amazing review

with edm belches

Posted: **Thu Feb 18, 2016 11:59 am**

I guess I just don't get it. You dislike something that much, then why review it? It's masturbatory.

Posted: **Thu Feb 18, 2016 12:11 pm**

lol @ these reviews. AC is ours again.

FIRST, LET'S DISPEL WITH THIS MYTH THAT ANIMAL COLLECTIVE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING. THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

Posted: **Thu Feb 18, 2016 1:16 pm**

i'm actually crying because of the album. I even like Golden Gal alot now

Posted: **Thu Feb 18, 2016 1:28 pm**

summing the wretch sounds like a haunted carousel ride

Posted: **Thu Feb 18, 2016 1:31 pm**

also, Pandas lyrics on this album are incredible. i dont think his use of Consonants has been this spot on like, ever

Posted: **Thu Feb 18, 2016 1:47 pm**

i'll now do what avey said in one of the interviews: to go outside and listen to it.
which is a monumental task for me because i barely leave the house since i got addicted to the witcher 3 a week ago.

come on, it's not that bad.

i'm really starting to love it, it just feels very samey to me still. i wish they kept that vocal effect for only a few tracks. or left a few off, had a very short 33 minute album and then an ep that followed. not sure, still exploring it. but i do really like it a lot.

Posted: **Thu Feb 18, 2016 2:01 pm**

love that avey says dude 2wice in the end of GG. don't think he's said dude since WWIW?S, also 2wice. double dudes.

i love when AV says dude

Like, listening to feels for the first time after hearing painting with just throws it into comparison. it's jarring. I love AC, and I definitely haven't lost faith in them, I'll always enjoy their output. It just honestly feels like something's missing.

Sorry for the negative reaction bros

I did exactly the same thing, also feels. and yes,
there is something missing, like I said right after the freebird. it doesn't contain the same magic feels as anything they did pre-Oddsac. BUT, for me at least, there's much more playfulness and inventivity here than there was on CHZ, so I'm really happy with that, and if you just take this album for what it is it's pure joy that is repeatedly growing each listen. actually I enjoy it alot more than I thought I would, so that's really nice.

Geo cover for the album when i downloaded from domino!!! not what i expected but pleasantly surprised.
Now i feel bad that Avey didn't get the Golden Gal cover though

They are totally different albums with totally different intentions

Nothing's really missing here; your tastes probably just don't align as well with the type of songs that the boys wanted to create this time around. Nothing wrong with that of course.

was going to say something to this effect

Posted: **Thu Feb 18, 2016 2:33 pm**

Not a criticism, but as a songwriter I totally would have switched the bridge and outro of Recycling around. Interesting choice there, I think.

Posted: **Thu Feb 18, 2016 2:38 pm**

I must be in a minority here but at this stage I like CHz better than PW. And if I think back to when that came out I was much more into that album than I am now into PW. It's good though. Plus maybe I'll end counting it among my favourites like what happened with Down There. Or maybe I'll forget all about it like Slasher Flicks.

Posted: **Thu Feb 18, 2016 2:39 pm**

fuck the 24bit wav version failed twice at like 80% complete. anyone else having issues?

Posted: **Thu Feb 18, 2016 2:42 pm**

so is geo in everyone's download? (i ordered pb for my lp)

Posted: **Thu Feb 18, 2016 2:43 pm**

I think it's because it took so long that my connection to the domino redownload page times out and it wants me to re-enter the order number even thouh it's mid download.
