I was going to mention how there was probably no point in mentioning that new Animal Collective album, since their schtick has become intolerable at this point and I'm not the least bit interested in hearing Painting With.
But now I'm mentioning it because I just read my third scathing review of the thing and ... Wow.... I had no idea....
How far the mighty have fallen.

(Read this review. It's pretty fucking hilarious. Sad, since these guys used to be quite something, and I'd love to hear them mature naturally... in the vein of "Fall Be Kind" maybe, with a more Grateful Dead, folk feel... But that's not happening, and what is happening deserves to be mocked this harshly.)
