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.

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