    My absolute favorite band.

    I think they're older albums are underplayed.

    I'm glad someone else likes them. I LOVE YOU ALL!! Lol I only know two kids in my entire school who like AC and its because I introduced them. Sung Tongs, and water curses FTW. I like them all.. But those two are the most.. Hmm.. Special?? Lol, fall be kind.. Hell all of them are utterly amazing :D

    Yeah its true, those albums have a totally different sound than the rest. But the others are what I grew up with so I generally listen to them more. Hell right now I am listening to here comes the indian. Great its awesome.. So are all the other different ones. I haven't heard dance manatee. Well amazon.com here I come!! But more than likely piratebay.org :/ sad to say it. Lol not really though, I can get a dub now rather than buy a cd :D

    Recently I've come to the conclusion that Spirit they're gone... is the best AC album.

    The production on it is freakin' horrendous but that adds to the charm. As far as songwriting goes and pure psychedelic bliss, their first album really is the best. That's not to say their later stuff isn't any good.

    what's funny is Spirit they're gone is mostly just Avey Tare... with Panda Bear on drums... hardly a "true" Animal Collective album... then again their lineup fluctuates fairly often anyway...

    You know, some people say that Radiohead is the best band of the 2000's, and Kid A is the best album.

    But they're wrong-- it's Animal Collective, and Sung Tongs is the best album of that decade.

    I love everything these guys do, and everything they represent. They just have this amazing energy, combined with the need to do new things and always be moving forward. I love the whole 'primitive' aspect of their music... when I heard Sung Tongs for the first time I was absolutely floored... I mean, it's just such an incredible album.

    I seriously went home and tried to play my guitar and write songs just like they did... just getting to that really primal energy. That was back in 2004, and I'm still kind of trying today... sometimes it works, I think...

    I really, really dig Animal Collective.
    "Brother Sport" might be my favorite, or maybe "What Would I Want? Sky".
    I was giddy as hell when I read an article in Rolling Stone about them in which they were deemed the Kings of the New Psychedelic Scene :2thumbsup:

    Their fall be kind and all their side projects are the absolute shit. Sung tongs is defaintely my favorite album of all time it reallly is number one, if you like animal collective youd like grizzly bears 'yellow house' too! before they got to mainstream if thats a problem for you lol one of their first albums its amazing bvery complex and I woukd honestly consider both artists of yellow house and sung tons to be geniuses

    I love their album, Strawberry Jam. It's one of those albums I can listen to all the way through and not want to skip anything! It's wonderful... :)

    They make me feel like :xmastree:

    I've only seen them once the last just a few weeks ago,at MPP and I was smiling the whole night.

    I came home and spent a crapton of money on all their albums,not owning any before the show. I just knew of them from youtube.

    I'm in love. They make me feel like I'm wearing a snuggie.
