Animal Collective is the best music group from the 21st century. People that hate them have a part of their soul missing.
>>131278322were they dowsed in grease?
>>131278322personally speaking, I don't miss this era at all
>>131278322The Beatles of the 21st century desu
>>131278322At least come up with something believable, this marketing won’t work
Explain their music because I don't get it.
>>131278322They kind of stink now though unfortunately
Remember when they made an album of Fanboy and Chum Chum music.
I burned them out really hard by listening to everything they released obsessively between 2011 and 2013. I went back and relistened to Campfire Song, Sung Tongs, Feels, and MPP recently and only Sung Tongs was as good as I remembered it being. Feels is not far off.
>>131278322>only have one great album start to finish>it is from the Xx century
>>131278322>I don't mean to seem like I care about material things like a social status>I just want four walls and adobe slabs for my girls>*stomp*>*clap*>HEY
>>131279500He actually wanted uterine walls and pussy flaps from a younger girl…
>>131279500>>*stomp*>>*clap*>>HEYThat didn't happen
>>131278322Zoomers can't into AnCo, and it's sad!
>>131279420>uhm actually century starts with the 1 year not 0 yearNobody actually uses the word century this way on practice.
>>131279591It’s cause zoomers have loser shut in weirdo pedophile homosexual SSRI autism and not TIGERSTIGERSTIGERSTIGERS autism
>>131278322I wouldve looked very similar to panda bear if i wasnt born AFAB and that makes me want to kill myself everyday
>>131278322Good. Fuck that part of my soul.
>>131278322I don't mean to seem like I care about material things, like my loyal spouseI just want tour halls and wet ego strokes from young girls
a board where actually innovative music was once appreciated and shared...
>>131280316I don't care for pansy thingsOr to take part in the oldest waveBut to upload for mine who askI will with sovl on my archived thread
when i re-listen they are still great
>>131279064similar story. Found them in 05 with Feels and was obsessed up til ~2010. The journey of watching them evolve over those few years through their live shows was really special, but in between Oddsac and Centi Hz I'd kinda moved on. I listened to Centi Hz the day it came out and my opinion of it is still the same, Wide Eyed and New Town Burnout are great tracks and the rest just isn't for me. Listened to everything they've ever put out since and have seen them live a handful of times since too. I just don't like the direction they went, and the old albums I abused to hell so I can't really listen to them anymore. Every few years I'll have a moment with an old AnCo track but yeah, RIP pretty much
>>131282742I should add that when Sleep Cycle dropped I did feel the old AnCo magic again for a bit, that one is dope
>>131279591im not like the other zoomers anon... i love anco
>>131278886triplets
>>131278322the ultimate onions boys
>>131283757As in they have layers? Is this a Shrek reference to say they're multifaceted and deep?
Animal Collective are the millennial beach boys in every way besides being hit songwriters, but the songs they wrote deserved to be hit songs
>>131279591I disagree a lot with this. Zoomers are heavily at their shows. OTOH a lot of millennials turned their backs to them. At their shows a lot of the millennial crowd is there to hear My Girls and talk over the set while it's the zoomers who know deep cut and new material.
>>131278322>Animal Collective is the best music group from the 21st century.I would've agreed with this had they broken up after releasing MPP or perhaps Centipede Hz.
I was expecting a trust fundie post
The early stuff is awesome
>>131282742You’re lucky, I loved the progression from Sung tongs to Feels to Strawberry Jam… and then it went to complete shit, and people loved the shit more than anything else
>>131284090We're making AI slop memes of the movie which is notable for foregoing AI and being terrible on its own terms?
>>131285614I loved MPP and FBK when they came out. Every time they put out an album during that stretch it was super different from their previous work, but with a very clear throughline of AnCo songwriting sensibilities. A big part of MPP's appeal was just how different it was from what they were doing before, so it kinda sucks that the answer most people give to "where to start with AnCo?" is mostly always MPP. I saw one show right between MPP and FBK and it really was this kinda magic zone in their career, the way they were segueing their songs, letting one track have a bizarre sample running through it that slowly modulated into sounding like the familiar sample from another song, the way they were performing old songs with the new MPP equipment set, it felt like AnCo was on their way to re-imagining the whole jamband thing or something, then they just moved on.But yeah, after Oddsac I fell off hard.
>>131278322They (from MPP-back at least) are probably the only act from this time period and sphere of music that doesn't really have that "of a bygone era" feel. They still feel contemporary."My Girls" doesn't feel nostalgic at all, and I heard it just 3 years after the video dropped. Ariel Pink, MGMT, Gorillaz, etc sounds like walking around a closing mall feels. (Which doesn't ruin its enjoyability but it feels just ever so slightly out of place.
>>131287994Yeah I caught love shows from between Jam and MPP, absolutely loved the new songs (brother sport mainly) and was excited to hear the album version… but then MPP left me completely cold, it just didn’t work for me at all… from then on I’d check them out when releasing something new but paid less and less attention.Last time I tried going back I found Feels to be the most enjoyable, surprisingly enough, though it was never my favorite back then… the middle ground between acoustic Tongs and wilder SJ I guess.But really I found going back to Akron/Family much more enjoyable, their highs were so much higher than AnCo it’s crazy… they also fell off into boring electronic focused music, but that’s in good part because they lost an important member…Anyway it’s a shame they never get the tribe publicity and marketing than AnCo does, because for a bunch of weirdos starting out acoustic and branching out, I’ll relisten to AF over AC 9 times out of 10
>>131291169yeah I agree, Feels is #1, but it was always my #1 and was also the first I heard of theirs, go figure. It still holds up the best for me too.Akron/Family is fuckin awesome. All I ever had back then was s/t and Love is Simple, but I still hit those at least once or twice a year. That's a really good comparison desu, they both come from that freaky folky indie zone from that 00s era but were both also sort of close to being something like a jam band. Idk if you like any jam stuff but all the websites that host audience recordings of shows always have a handful of Akron/Family shows on there.https://relisten.net/akron-familyI look back on that era of indie shit in a weird light. It was very formative to me, and at the time felt very important, but most of it just doesn't really work for me anymore. Akron/Family is one of the best pulls from that era that still holds up, imo.
>>131278322
>>131291392>was also the first I heardthat often makes a huge difference, i've many such cases for other bands>s/t and Love is Simpledon't need much else... some good stuff on Meek Warrior, and about half of Set 'Em Wild, Set 'Em Free is really up there too... They did have quite a different live feel, and yeah AF are a lot more jam band, true>most of it just doesn't really work for me anymorethat's happened with a lot of musics i listened to younger, some things you relisten and it works but some things you just cringe, it's funny. But it also depends of mood and other factors, all hope is not lost, a lot of it is timing. But for some music it'll never work again... over time it sort of works as a filter. And yeah i'd agree they hold up, to me they were always underrated, so i mention them often whenever the topic is yet again AnCo, because musically i find there's a lot more satisfying going on there, and so less screechy. But too hippie and not 'new york intellectual' enough for the media to be seen saying positive things about them.
>>131291686>a lot of it is timingbig facts. I thought my emo phase from when I was 16 obsessed with Cap'n Jazz was pretty much dead and over with, but this whole summer I've been digging and finding some old emo bands I either ignored or didn't know about and a lot of it is hitting super hard. Really surprised this shit has been actually working for me but here we are lol. My first favorite music when I was 8 was pop punk, after some years of thinking that was just "some dumb shit I liked when I was younger" I can fully appreciate it again too. Shit always can come back when you least expect it
