To be fair, now that I've worked my way through much of this ouevre, in contrast to you from "Merriweather" backwards, I feel that "Sung Tongs" might be seen as a summation of their earlier more chaotic style (which has its fans) while "Merriweather" might be seen as a summation of the form of their predominantly electronic style which commenced on "Feels" (and which appeals more broadly, although not to some of those who preferred the earlier style and feel that the later style is overproduced and bland). In this regard, "Strawberry Jam" is an anomaly: Panda Bear's "Person Pitch" seems closer to their latest work than it does to this album.
