Controversial music opinions

I thought so. Me

Well, thanks for fessing up and letting me know who to blame then 

But seriously, I kind of think MPP is the most tolerable album they've recorded (of the ones I've heard), because even though it mostly sounds like basic indietronica with some weird sounds on top, it at least doesn't make me want to tear my hair out, unlike some of their earlier stuff. A shame really, because on paper a lot of what they do should appeal to me but alas, I just can't get into it

I like Panda Bear but I could never get into the collective.

MPP is alright, but as someone who was getting super immersed in psychedelic and experimental electronic music around that time, it just never impressed me that much. I was onto way more mind melting stuff at the time so I was always probably going to be underwhelmed. I get the appeal though.

Just forget about Animal Collective and listen to The Knife instead

[Lexi Darling]

The Knife rule, yeah. I didn't really pay them attention until their final (?) album dropped in 2013 and I immediately kicked myself for not getting into them sooner. Silent Shout is such a dope album.

Silent Shout is amazing. Shaking the Habitual is an album that I've come to appreciate more since its release, the percussion on the album is from a different universe.

Also, Person Pitch by Panda Bear is streets ahead of any AC album.

Compton is better than 2001.

I don't remember if I listened to Compton or not, but 2001 had a lot of fluff.

Agreed, a lot of people really think it's a classic. I don't think it's all that tbh. It was good for it's time.

Compton has no big single but is way better imo. Maybe people are being tricked by the singles from 2001. First seven tracks are great then there is a big drop in quality for me.

I agree, the singles from 2001 were huge for middle school me and still bang to this day, but most of the rest of that album is pretty patchy.

I've never actually listened to Compton though.

[jimmy jazz]

Compton was very good. Really well put together. I'd recommend it.

If ya'll love The Knife I'd recommend checking out anything by Louis Cole and his other group KNOWER.

Thank you! I actually started a thread.
