Guest bontempi Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 i don't get all this fuzz around AC i've seen a video of cuckoo for cuckoo and this one is ok but the rest is just circus music to me. i find them some qualities but how come they sell so many records ? are hipsters so many ? please explain what's going on with that band http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnlMxPXoRoI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hideous Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Animal Collective are boring, nothing to see here. Only the usual Pitchfork crowd/recovering emo dorks need apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b born droid Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Feels and Sung Tongs are both great albums. I've never seen them live but seen videos that look pretty shit, but their albums are fucking sweet. You're wrong and a grotesquely ugly freak.

Guest bontempi Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 i'll be glad to understand then just explain i can listen to merzbow or mr bungle's weirdest shit, but i don't "get" AC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YEK Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 my friend played it for me when i was mildly buzzed from smoking pot and drinking and it made me puke in the living room. from that day on i called it the devils music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easterlingman Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 my friends like it a lot.. but then i hate my friends. they call it tribal-esque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b born droid Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Go listen to either of those albums and then make an opinion, because hvaing seen video footgae of them live I didn't really think it was a fair reflection on their albums. I need to go eat right now so I can't explain at length why they are good, but in short, they have very good melodies and vocal harmonies, combined with decent rhythmical parts which are often vocal too. Plus they have quite a prog feel to their songs in their length and arrangements. It's good stuff. Maybe smoke more weed?! They have a nice production 'sound' too. Very organic.

Zephyr_Nova Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I'd never heard of them until now. They're pretty irritating judging from this song. I want to punch their vocalist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hideous Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 If I smoke lots of pot and still don't enjoy AC, should I move on to heroin and give it another go? I'll risk addiction if you promise me I'll find great art while drooling on myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bontempi Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 not convinced btw i've checked two or three albums so i've been listening to them a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siegecow Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Ive seen AC live and it was the most mindblowing show of my life and i was sotally tober I only listen to Feels and sung tongs but i love both albums, i'm told everything else is shit.

six Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I don't really get the appeal either, but I admit I really like that Panda Bear album that one of the guys did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Franklin Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I'd never heard of them until now. They're pretty irritating judging from this song. I want to punch their vocalist. almost exactly how i feel. except i would also punch the other dude in the front and then take their fucking headgear off.

Guest Enter a new display name Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Everyone adores their upcoming album Strawberry Jam but there is nothing special about it, seriously. I hate indie rock listeners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bontempi Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 same thing for Battles i think Warp wanted its own AC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Max Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 i saw the battles live. it was awesome. i bought the album. not so awesome, but still 3 tracks very good to come back to. something similar with AC. it's like CocoRosie without vocals but on Synthies, and i like it. you can't get into everything, btw. edit: plus - i think warp didnt want to copy AC at all. it's just... art is beyond laptop aesthetics these days. go and see who played the fucking reactable live and how. you can't do that with merzbow.

The Green Kingdom Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I prefer Sung Tongs and Feels to their earlier noisy stuff. Admittedly, they do provoke many a wtf? on first listening, but these two albums have really grown on me over the last couple years. As they progress their stuff seems to be becoming much catchier (particularly the awesome Panda Bear album). I think they are one of the few acts that actually have a somewhat original sound within the context of current rock/pop/electronic music. The new Battles album is great as well- much more melodic than I was expecting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
