Person pitch ain’t no anco album

#99

slightly jokey option but it’s the best Animal Collective album technically not made by AnCo; the album Animal Collective could never quite pull off. it’s sort of the ultimate expression of a certain sound that they experimented with
Can’t really settle on any other albums as being my fave as they’re all pretty flawed in their own way.

You’re definitely right. Great album. 2007 was insanely strong for albums

don’t think Feels has aged that well either tbh (although Banshee Beat is still gorgeous). try listening to The Purple Bottle in 2018.

Strawberry Jam for me Clive but MPP is the other one i’d be happiest putting on these days.

Still not listened to Person Pitch

That’s not on is it

ha i just had a quick browse-listen to Feels when i was trying to figure out my answer and yep when i listened to Purple Bottle i thought ‘christ’. couple of stinkers on that album

interestingly when i downloaded it back in the day that track was (mercifully?) missing from the file. and Loch Raven was the closing track.

Definitely my favourite year for new releases.

Oh i love Purple Bottle

Find yr bottle find yr heart… Bowm bowm

Feels and Person Pitch are the best AnCo related records for me. Strawberry Jam is good too…the rest is pretty balls

As for TVOTR…to a degree I like all their records but Dear Science is the best by a long way. Some absolute gold on that record and if you haven’t listened to it recently I recommend revisiting it…a classic record in that particular era for sure

Hot take: decent record. 7.5/10

A solid 3rd best for me

I remember a lot of people losing their frigging minds for mpp and I was SO EXCITED to hear it. I managed to convince myself that I liked it mainly because my girls is a banger but, bit by bit I was able to see through these emperor’s new clothes to the muddy shambles beneath. Awful record.

might change my answer to Sung Tongs - don’t really have any problem with the folksy stuff but i seem to remember it falling off a bit in the second half

#111

I loved it was an entry point to a lot of music for me. The whole thing is hypotic. Strawberry Jam has better songs but MWPP flows better. bluish is also underrated

#112

even when i loved the album i never liked this one

#113

The correct order goes:
Young Liars > Cookie Mountain > Desperate Youth > Dear Science > Nine Types of Light > Seeds

#114

Agree about Bluish. That, the opener and the closer are my personal favourites.
