Haha. It's not easy going enough for ya like that modern rock stuff?
I would love to see what kind of reactions would be on your face when listening to the albums Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished and Hear Comes The Indian. And even Sung Tongs and Feels. Strawberry Jam is their most realized pop album. Feels is also but to a smaller and more atmospheric extent.
Anyhow, I understand your situation. I would be like that if I was listening to the likes of Breaking Benjamin and Trivium. It's a huge jump up in the musical spectrum. In fact, Animal Collective is in a whole other stratosphere in terms of creativity and brilliant songwriting. Brilliant music isn't allowed on the radio these days. It's been like that for a very long time now. And that's why it's hard for alot of you folks to open up to more creative and complex music. You don't hear it unless you shut of the radio and tv and look elsewhere.
Sorry for the tangent. So sad you disapprove of AC Stllmn8j.

Anyhow.........based on the reactions I'm seeing all over the net, this album should garnish alot of high critical marks and probably top alot of year end lists along with Panda Bear's "Person Pitch". But then again AC has always gotten high marks. I still expect Rolling Stone to give their usual average AC review, but that's because they don't like great music and don't "really listen". They half listen because they don't get paid off by the label to post a positive review.

Peacebone single B-side "Safer" has leaked today. Here it is in all of its glory. Very freaking pretty track..........takes me back to the slowburning tunes from "Feels". It goes from an ancient asian feel to a ghostly reggae and African feel. Awesome awesome awesome song to relax to and vibe with. Goes alongside Fireworks and Cuckoo Cuckoo as my favourites from SJ era.
Awesome song: http://www.sendspace.com/file/f7qucq
In fact I think I like this song the most after 10 zillion listens in a row.

Glad you like it. This song is one of the many reasons why I love AC so much. [:-}
It's kind of awesome how great their b-sides have been since they've been releasing singles. "Fickle Cycle" from the "Grass" single was pretty **** good too. Really fun tune.

The first half of Safer's lyrics (as interpreted by a poster on Collected Animals):
why am i so scared that the shadows on the wall from yesterday
i turn until my dad i saw ghosts in the park willing girls with cakes
and their moms are scared cause i havn't been home in 2 or 3 days
wind blows trees through the tops of my hair i saw holes in the fog i can see through the rain
oh man it thinks it change the snow going where it used to be
weeeeeeeee!
i feel deranged they're building peaches inside so it's sunny on me
i don't know i think it's strange cause i know we've met before but i cannot place it
i don't know if there's any real danger but the creatures know that it's safer in the dark.
why am i so scared of explosions going off just any old way
i turn ask is it that bad they say we much bigger problems we got wolves in the plane
and they left their dam cause the cracks in the pipes shooting murky grays
they're running just as fast as the hares you should leave a place if you can't eat there
oh man it thinks it change snow field lakes where they used to be
weeeeeeeee!
i feel deranged they're building peaches inside so it's sunny on me
i don't know i think it's strange cause i know we've met before but i cannot place it
i don't know if there's any real danger but I'm alright if you're alright, i'm alright if you're alright etc.

MTV: it's years too late for you to get cool points by introducing AC now.
Nonetheless, it's still kinda funny to see them on a mtv interview.
