electrik red <3 <3 <3

pity it wasn't quite top 10 but still: look at who they beat!

so XX would have beaten Electrik Red had I voted

TOP TEN IS HERE! TOP TEN IS HERE!

Electrik Red? Who the fuck is that? is this some euro/britishes thing?

haha alfred

man i hope erykah badu gets top 5 (only reason i'm still reading this tbh)

by rights, given their respective profiles and critical response, electrik red have no business running anything in this top 20 close at all, so the fact that they beat them is especially pleasing and hilarious

I guess I should finally listen to Electrik Red, huh? Literally the only places I've ever seen them mentioned are ILM and Singles Jukebox.

HTBAL is a CLASSIC album. It MEANS something and it's UNIQUE and occupies a place of its OWN in the genre in addition to being so much FUN and so PRETTY.

I really can't believe people are THAT into In Rainbows, like I feel like it's actually all an elaborate hoax, because I don't see how you could enjoy that album after what they did during the rest of the decade

(I know the actual answer is that everyone but me hated what they did for the rest of the decade but I still think they're wrong and that the biggest sin of In Rainbows isn't even the regressive nature of the songwriting as much as it is the sudden total inability to sequence the album.)

ER album is cool, lots of good catchy songs that i really love and a few songs that i find obnoxious.

is person pitch really liked more than the anco albums? enough to make top 10?

no

yes

person pitch is sooo not top ten worthy imo but it's such a popular album that I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up in the top ten

i still haven't figured out why they collectively seduce thom yorke in the "friend lover" video

I'd use that as a screen name.

wow lex that is some silly-ass garbage. like, sub-Appollonia 6 level.

fuck outta here shakey

they're pretty much the vanity 6 de nos jours

which is clearly an AMAZING THING

One of my best bros sold Person Pitch on Amazon four days after buying it.

But it and the Fall Be Kind EP are the only tolerable things these guys have recorded.

no comment

What if this album had started with "It's Panda Bear, bitch."?

not a huge fan...don't understand why ppl rep so hard for this and hate MPP...(unless they're diff people???)

xp lol

didn't vote for it, but support its placement

yes lol at that

"one of the most strikingly perfect album beginnings in indie rock"

I like Person Pitch about a bazillion times more than anything I've heard by Animal Collective except for "My Girls".

Still didn't vote for it, though.

It's simple and tuneful in its lethargy in ways that AnCo isn't.

I rep lightly for PP and enjoy about 1/3 or so of MPP. don't get the vitriol these guys inspire. I kind of get Joanna Newsom being so polarizing but not this.

My Girls is okay, but like the fifth best song on the album...

I don't like Comfy in Nautica much at all...I mean, Bros I can dig, but...

they look like the sort of guys who don't enjoy cool pool parties like the one on the Person Pitch cover.

My Girls is okay, but like the fifth best song on the album...

in some respects, it's the ONLY song on the album!

Animal Collective fans sour me on Animal Collective.
Joanna Newsom sours me on Joanna Newsom.

like, they'd insist on bringing their stuffed llamas, polar bears, and marmots.

only panda bear song I really fuck wit is "Take Pills"

xp
Actually that makes sense since I don't know any hardcore AnCo fans irl

xxxp yeah that pool party on the cover looks like there might be the least fun being had in the history of pool parties ever...

Person Pitch is pretty good. Top 50 on my hypothetical list. Panda clearly should break Animal Collective up and go about his own ways. Like Beyoncé, if Destiny's Child hadn't been as good as they were.

true fact: googling for "panda bear person pitch" is how i found ilx

Person Pitch and Ys would have both been higher ranking had I voted so count your blessings!
