POW POW, poll NOW - the Animal Collective albums poll

these results just seem right. every album got a vote!

Painting With will surely get more votes if this poll is done again a couple years from now.

or fewer, who knows?

i've already forgotten about it...

calstars - still waiting for my single in the mail, i've heard good things...

never did say what i voted for, it was Feels with Strawberry Jam being second. still have not heard Sung Tongs

i very much like Painting With.

listening to Strawberry Jam for the first time in an age. the non highlight tracks (unsolved mysteries, chores, winter wonderland) are all better than i remember. they were very much mid-hotstreak when they put this out.

This has been a really fascinating thread to read through - I used to be obsessed with AnCo but haven't really liked anything any of them have done since Tomboy (which I agree is really underrated) and I suppose I haven't thought about them much since, even though I still listen to the older stuff occasionally. But I've realised I never really did think about them much, at least not in terms of how the albums were made or who wrote what. I've got the urge to revisit everything now.

Bee OK you absolutely MUST listen to Sung Tongs right away.

... interesting, because I got Sung Tongs in a sale of CDs in a library and hated it so much I felt like physically attacking it. This band is not for me.

it's not for everyone. especially in 2016.

I'd be interested in seeing the results of an AC solo albums poll.

(That said, the results of this one are about what I expected.)

Actually, I'm surprised SJ did better than MPP!!!

It's okay, Tom, I don't get what the big deal is with this lot either.

haven't listened to painting with since february, but i'm seeing them next week so i guess is should BRUSH up on it

It's not a wonderful record but I'm surprised to see zero mention / discussion of Tangerine Reef on ILX. Are AC completely sub-rosa now?
At least the coral is often pretty.
