Really, I cannot understand the lack of love for BSS at this forum. But, to each their own.

I can't fucking wait till May! The 2005 s/t was fucking epic and brilliant says I.

Merriweather Post Pavillion is the music equivalent of Star Wars Attack of the Clones.

Who is BSS?

^broken social scene.

anyway, i like animal collective in general (and i really like stuff like "spirit..." and "feels" and panda bear solo), but they're basically a clusterfuck of plagiarisation of a lot of other shit. it's kinda baffling how people taut them as the most innovative shit ever. whatever, though. innovation isn't everything. more often than not, they're good at what they do.

They've got some alright stuff, some of their solo stuff is not bad. For a popular band, they're not too bad. Some decent melodies. I find it interesting how popular they are, though, when you consider that about half their output is pretty much unlistenable (and I mean.. unlistenable to anybody, not singling out hipsters or music snobs). Just get more and more boring with every release. Ultimately, they're probably a good gateway drug band, as I can see them getting people into better music. They're not great, they're not even very good, and most of their material is shit. But they've got enough alright stuff to make me not completely hate them.

Peace Bone is an amazing song, with a fucking great chorus (that octave leap!). Catchy and memorable in the best possible way.

Don't hate them but right now I'm not really that psyched about them either. I think they're the type of band you LOVE for about a month and completely forget about them afterwards. Good stuff, just not very memorable.

I like to think it's because their music is "cute" or something, which (to me) seems to be the latest music succes-formule. I mean, look at Vampire Weekend. Same shit, Shittier band.

The weird thing about this band for me is that I always hate their stuff at first, then when I go back to it a few months later realize I love it.

Animal Collective puts out some amazing things. Some less so. But who gives a fuck? They make some super groovy shit.

I really enjoyed sung tongs with its warmth in the acoustic tracks and theyre spectacular sense of harmonies but i hate that new merriweather one. They go all electronic and use these shitty synths and keyboards from the 80s. What is it vogue now to think those cheesy 80s sounds were cool?

these are the worst fucking threads on this board. And I mean it. They're counter-intuitive to who we are as a forum. We used to be board that was open-minded and shared things. So why would we want to be a bunch of fucking snarky elistist douchebags that draw lines in the sands of what is cool and what bands the rest of us should be embarrassed to listen to? Unless y'all are planning to send yr resumes to Pitchfork, I suggest we bury these fucking Let's Massacre A Band threads and pretend they never happened. Who's with me?
