Just listened to the "critically acclaimed" Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective.
Meh, it's alright and some of the melodies/production is pretty cool but what gives? Have of the songs barely have discernable beat, words, or even melody. Atmospherically a bit pleasing but I can't see this being considered the best album of 2009 by any stretch. Then again I'm not the biggest indie fan ever... I tend to prefer music with a steady rhythm, bassline, big chorus, etc.
Overall I appreciate them doing something different but for me it's like C to C+ album
