I kinda on the same boat as TH about AnCo from what I've heard. Just kind of boring indie rock/pop/electronic as far as I'm concerned.

I think "For Reverend Green" is a really solid song, but yeah I don't like AnCo either. Some of their early stuff is sort of fun though, and I like Panda Bear a lot solo (although the latest album was meh).

It's not that I didn't enjoy it on its own merits. I mean, it's an ok album. I just don't see the love so many of you guys have for it. It's like MBV: you hear so much about them and you're all hyped up, and then you play Loveless and it's like, "Dude... what...?"

I could play you a Chris Rea, Deacon Blue or Prefab Sprout album and you would probably say "Boring ****" or somesuch. And I would wonder why you couldn't hear what I am hearing over the years with those artistes. Same with AC. Just doesn't click with me.

And that shouldn't be taken to mean I have anything against animals, by the way...
