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!

also HI DERE:

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

major lolz

I like Person Pitch. Not top 10 material but it's easily the best AC-related release I've heard.

9. BURIAL Untrue (2007) [590 points, 24 votes, 1 point]

wait really someone linked to the wikipedia article for song?

lol - 1 first place vote obv

Like that Burial album a lot.

so I had a follow-up post that said:

(yes, blatant hyperbolic overstatement)

but it was xposted out of relevance and I figured that that portion of it would be obvious

thus concludes another episode of "assumptions HI DERE knows better than to make"

Yeah, Untrue is stellar.

this thread is really putting a strain on our friendship j0rdan, uncomfortable truths are coming out

haha i don't remember what i googled to initially find ilx but i think it popped up in a few indie-album-related google searches over the course of a year before i finally decided to check out if the rest of the forum was cool or not

wait really someone linked to the wikipedia article for song?

HI DERE did this to me in a Radiohead thread longways back...I'll dig it up here in a minute...

i had no idea so many googlers stayed on ilx

also I found ILX by googling Pisces Iscariot...

(thinking about starting a thread where foax link to the threads where their first posts are...what do you all think?)

I've done it to several people, usually because they are arguing that having lyrics and a melody doesn't make a song a song. I don't remember the Radiohead argument, though.

xp I think there already is one.

actually i was into momus's music for a while around the time i started reading ilx, i bet it was him that i was searching for
