uhhh i'm going to ignore the thread battle for now and go ahead and post this...


Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion

i'm sure many are going to argue with me on my decision...but i've listened to it 5 times trying to give it an honest chance, but it is just not working for me. i really tried...

I can completely see where you're coming from, while I don't mind the album I think it receives a lot more hype (especially on this forum) than it deserves. But yeah, have to agree that the album art is pretty awesome though.

Just out of interest did you give it 5 listens because it was hyped to fuck and you thought there was something wrong with you if you don't like it or is that the usual time you give an album before deciding it wasn't for you?

Not that I mean to sound like i'm getting at you at all, i'm just curious thats all.

it was a combination of sounding like an album i may actually end up liking and the hype it received. most of the time i can tell on first listen whether or not an album will grow on me...i think it is this and a handful of other albums where i was truly hoping it would click and it just didn't.

maybe one day it will...but for now...i'm done

I downloaded that too and it's just not my thing. I'm still trying to figure out my music tastes but they don't make any sense. I'm listening to some gorgeous Progressive House.. kind of in the mood for some smooth jazz.. but may end up listening to ...'s Somebody Save Me E.P. which is Depressive Black Metal. I wonder if I have musical bipolar disorder

I got the physical CD for Christmas and in real life it's not as trippy as online.

The exact same thing happened to me.... I was disappointed. The also decided to eschew liner notes, pretty much ruling out any reason to buy it.

On the album itself, I thought it was pretty good. Maybe a 6.5-7/10, it was worth getting but imo not deserving of all the hype.
