Collected Animals

This thread has been done before but it's a good one to have because I feel like I always have different moments that become the highlight of a song that might not have previously stood out.

My personal favorite might be when the drums just overpower everything in pride and fight such to the point that it seriously sounds like something is going to break

Some other favorites: queen/doggy transition, chord change in banshee beat, the odd distorted vocal-sounding sample during the chorus-ish part of revgreen, when the bass hits in in the flowers, and the way that avey and panda sing the "am i really all the things..." part n the live boots and radio session version of taste.

So many others but these are the first ones that come to me

... naked in the mirror of the bathroom (OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!)

The arpeggio synths that shift in and out of sync with each other at the beginning of #1.

Brother Sport 4:47 onwards.

1. The very last third of the softest voice, where theres a whole bunch of sounds, then just the windchime sample, then dave&noah come back in
2. I. DONT. WANT. NO. ONE. OF.

She ran out in natureAAGH!!

And how could I forget: now DON'T GET TOO FREAKY ON ME!!

Favorite moment on each main album:

Spirit: RUNNNNNNNNN in Alvin Row

Danse: idk pretty much all of Essplode or maybe the end of In The Singing Box

Campfire songs: when Two Corvettes gets intense

Indian: Hey Light screams, or maybe the climax of Infant Dressing Table

sung tongs: HOLIDAY HOLIDAY HOLIDAY HOLIDAY

Feels: part II of Purple Bottle

Strawberry Jam: chorus of Cuckoo Cuckoo

MPP: 2 minutes and 31 seconds into the album

crack box: LETS ALL GO TO THEEEE ICEEE CREEEAMM FACTORY

Oddsac: the amazing energy buildup of Mr. Fingers

CHZ: coda of Amanita

person pitch: second half of Bros, possibly

Tomboy: pretty much all of Benfica

down there: chorus of Laughing Hieroglyphic

slasher house: THE OUTLAW IS THE FUTURE

my favorite AC song is definitely Safer though

this video, specifically "the smell of pajamas always makes josh's guitar go off" and the screaming!

2. I. DONT. WANT. NO. ONE. OF.

auuhhhhiiiiii i dont I DONT WANT NO ONE OF.. ..iiIIIIIIIIII I DONT-I DONT WANT NO ONE OF.. eeheeheehee.. IIIIIIII

the part in meet the light child where it keeps going silent inbetween "pshhh.. buh buh buh buh buh"

Cemeteries - "it's the perfect night"

Im confused. What happened to the old Favourite Moments thread?

And on another note...

"do the elderly... couples, stiiiill
kiss aaannd huug annnd, grabtheirbigwrinklyskin, sotoughwrinkly wrinkwrinkwrinkly rough--OH! OH! OH!"

hands down my favourite moment in AC history

that really bright sound right after the "pockets" at the beginning of oliver twist
when the drums and main melody come in in i think i can

When Merriweather freebirded on christmas. Great Moment.

When they did a five day northern california run with Sun Araw. Great Moment.

When Josh went to africa with all of your money. Great moment.

The distant shout samples in Loch Raven

the second verse of No More Running

"But where are the still unborn" Unsolved Mysteries

Pretty much all of Sea Eyeing

Kittysssssss

and all the comments above.

"I'm not going underground, I'm not going underground"

When Today's Supernatural starts up and feels like a rollercoaster ride

Incredible catharsis induced by screaming along to the screamy part in Peacebone

the dubby second part of Derek

the tom rolls in the turn into something chorus
when the kick goes four to the floor in oliver twist
when the beat comes in after the wishy-washy breakdown in mr fingers

The insane vocal crescendo that builds into the second verse of Leaf House

holy shit victor yeah I forgot about that one

Just remembered a great moment: the little tribal chant at the end of Slippi

so said that song, I needed a sample
if the roses move on, hope the memory is ample

part in roses, and then "new water"/last part.. omg

this right here.

the ending of summertime clothes is the best ending

Just youuuuu, just youuuu, just youuuu, just youuuu....

shit i meant also frightened

but summertime clothes is cool 2

Lately I've been seeing things
They look like they float at the back of my head room
I don't find it strange when I'm talking to you

so much emotion in these lines, fuck this song is incredible.

"I'm not here to pass on"

Panda sings that particular part so sweetly and reassuringly



that part in Heads Hammock when the high-pitched Avey comes in for the first time. actually the part just before that as well.


the really serene instrumental part of Cemeteries

Just remembered a great moment: the little tribal chant at the end of Slippi

yeah it's awesome, it reminds me of the We Tigers chorus

The last thirty seconds of spirit they've vanished.
The chanting at the end in ahh good country.
The whirlin part at the end of tell it to the mountain , or just that whole song.
The 8 minute mark in queen of my pictures.
Mid way two sails.
Banshee Beat.
Winter wonderland gets me every time.
Definitely the second half of daily routine.
Wide eyed into Father Time.

Yup.

PumpkinsFlashback with the career-spanning highlight reel

I absolutely love the 1:43 mark of Turn Into Something. I can't even tell what instrument that is - it could be a guitar with a bunch of effects on it or a sample or something entirely different. Whatever it is, it sounds like it's 1000 feet tall.

"Everybody came down just to see me leaving
Baby take my hand now can't you see I'm happy
When the story's mine I think I'll tell it different
It's a shame to hear the sound
When the penny hit the ground
And I want to go back home
When does this bus?"

fuckin perfect

i agree abt the end of Frightened, it might be my favorite moment on mpp. and second half of routine, of course

"he almost lost his color.../...caught by the end of his tail" parts in Hammock.. and 3 Umbrella parts when he leaves the c/g chord part and hits the e, i think.. "always teasing, but I can't imagine if I didn't know you, I don't take for granted" and that squiggly organ line, dang

"I wonder wonder wonder wonder... what when. that feeling, i know, could silence means we're home" in fickle cycle

"weights on my mind, so I can't get sleep at night" and the weird squished vocal sample that explodes into the laundary dryer-accompanied peak in alsatian

diomedes if you have 3 umbrella chords you should def post them

verse- c, g7, c, g7, (it's how it should be, you like all my songs..) c, em, dm, g7, c (three umbrellas)
and we're laughing at the.. c, f, g, c, f,c, f, c (are we hidin under..)
and we all do our parts.. g, f, dm, c

in order:
moo rah rah rain transition into de soto de son. so serene. so lovely.
KITTEEEESS
all of kids on holiday.
all of did you see the words. fuck. so good.
don't get toO FREAKY ON MEYYH!
The bubbly noises in Take Pills right before he says "take on day at a time"
"Comfort, comfort," verse in Graze.
mercuryman-pulleys-amanita. woww
LITTLE FANG LITTLE FANG LITTLE FAAANG!

I love any live recording when Panda will interject little "karate noises" (as I like to call them).

HUT! HA!

the terrifying loop at the end of tell it to the mountain

also the skeleton-bag-rustling/olden-time-wagon-wheel-turning sample in two sails on a sound

I love any live recording when Panda will interject little "karate noises" (as I like to call them).

HUT! HA!

SSSQQUUUAAATTTTTTTTTTT-UUHHHHH

the terrifying loop at the end of tell it to the mountain

this might be tied with wastered in general for the spookiest moment in animal collective's discog
