yeah, uh... to the walls, not me.

I take exception tho this.

I am the SY Board member that hates AC and MPP and all their fucking horrible bullshit the most.

Rob Instigator hearts Maxwell.

I hearts Rockwell

my wife and I once pulled this grand hoax on everybody that we knew that we had gone to a Rockwell concert. Of course everybody was like "Why?" and we did this really convincing act that Rockwell is a misunderstood genius. Now this hoax was really only funny to us. But I'm pretty sure that everybody we know still believes we're huge Rockwell fans and that we saw him like five years ago and can now die happy.

Half this board is people repeating themselves, primarily because most people don't search for old topics before they start new ones. Lots of things in this thread has been repeated; I posted about Fall Be Kind in some other thread (NR's 2009 albums thread I believe) and people replied to it the same they are here. Actually, I was the first person to post about Fall Be Kind, period, and I posted a link to it in my original 2009 thread (just sayin'; I could take the same route here -- "YOU GUYS ARE POSTING ABOUT THIS AGAIN? I POSTED ABOUT IT 2 MONTHS AGO!" You know?). Either way, lots of people have repeated themselves here, don't single me out. I mean, every Animal Collective thread, in general, is pretty much the same... "They're boring." "They're brilliant." Right? Of course, so...

One way to solve this would be to do what we have with the Sun City Girls and John Fahey and Boredoms and so on (or check the fangs and arrows board, where every band already has their own separate topic).. and just have a thread dedicated solely to Animal Collective, so we don't have 500 posts about AC. But until that time, plenty of people are going to repeat themselves. I'm sure if my posts were ANIMAL COLLECTIVE RULZ!!!!!!!! every single time I posted, you wouldn't have a problem with them either, hence why you singled me out. Of course, I'm not saying anything too bad about them.


Neither one of those statements is true. I talk about MPP, and AC, when they come up -- which is OFTEN; might as well call this board "SY Gossip [with collected animalz!] (oh, and mbv, dinosaur jr, and nirvana lawl when we iz feelin saucy". Which doesn't bother me in the least or matter to me in the least, but usually the point of posting messages on a message board is so people can reply to them, hence why I reply. Haha. Also, I don't think I'm one of the ones who thinks MPP outright sucks -- I've listened to it a ton, I've never completely dismissed it, just said it was boring. Which is a lot different than saying it has no redeeming qualities.

Either way, this EP is a step in the right direction, and way better than their last full length.

Personally, I'm more interested in their solo work than their band work. Oh, did I say that before? Hm.

Well anyway, I spun it once so far, and I think......it's fucking brilliant.

I love MPP also, but it sags about 2/3 in, can't stand Lion In A Coma.....but I think In The Flowers is one of my all time fav songs.

But, this EP.....I can't wait to spin it again.

It really annoyed me the only time I listened to it, and I loved MPP.

I think "Bluish" from MPP is one of their 10 best songs.

MEH

Fuck me.....spun the EP thrice now, and I love it.....more than MPP. And track 2 really is quite special....I understand Pitchfork's gushing.....

Well I agree, it woudn't made me irritated and it would be a lot easier to discuss things in one topic.

good golly miss MOlly/

Sure like to ball

I love u

PULLHAIR RUBEYE> all

I honestly think the best AC album in the family is Young Prayer

Well, I fully immersed myself in this EP now, and god love you folks who hate it, to each their own etc, but goddamn, I love it.

Most of the tracks seem to begin one way and morph into something else, a'la You Set The Scene. I think they do fantastic things with loops and backing vocals. It's a grower....not as immediate as MPP.....a step forward from MPP.......has me begging for the next real album, which I know won't come anytime soon.

I think Pullhair is good. Interesting and listenable. But I think Panda's PERSON PITCH is better. And so is most of the AC disco for that matter. Except DANSE MANATEE. That record sucks.
