I dont like Animal Collective, the vocals are lame.

No one likes Animal Collective.


(note: I just received word that some people in fact DO like them. I will now take the time to admit that I was wrong.)

There is only room on earth for one AC. No-one really likes Animal Collective.

hahahaha. Nice.

I wonder if the collectedanimals board discusses SY as much?

Disclaimer: Animal Collective is one of my favorite bands.

it's sad that some website that even musicians and journalists, i mean for real journalists and musicians, not to mention thousands of people around the world take seriously when they obviously have no idea what they are talking about ("...is credited with "mooger fooger", which we thought was hilarious until we realized it was an actual thing"--today's news item on new erykah badu album), focus on bands that are good because they hear that, for some reason, they are good, grab on to them so hard that people decide to stop listening to them because said website likes them.

i love animal collective, one of the best, most forward thinking pop bands in the last ten years; hipsters like them but they won't in five years, ac's records will still be around.

merriweather post pavillion, thought, is a massive disappointment.

shit bands people listen just because pitchfork likes them: dirty projectors, hot chip, grizzly bear, vampire weekend, neon indian, high places, etc.

Dirty Projectors are shit.

Ditto Hot Chip... haven't heard the others.

this.

hahaha. no, we don't. there is like one SY thread and its probably 3-4 pages long.

for comparison the Black Dice thread is like 44 pages long

i love MPP and like hot chip (not their new one though) and high places; otherwise i agree with your point completely

grizzly bear is great. i was disappointed with the last dirty projectors, but they are usually great as well

I hate Grizzly Bear's records but they were admittedly pretty great live. They actually rocked, which is not something you can really say about their records.

Dirty Projectors just annoy the hell out of me, dude has the most obnoxious voice I've ever heard.

Yeah I don't get the hype around Grizzly Bear. I just find them boring, apart from one song or two; they're on Warp though so I guess I must be missing something, but I can't find what

yes! birdcore!

No one likes repetition.

Fall fans do :D

and you can tell he's madly infatuated with the sound of his on vox, too. like he's getting off on his little yelpy runs 'n' shit. the ladies should sing more.

Well, he ain't no mark e smith.
