Either way you should check them out. I'd try giving "Hear Comes The Indian" a listen as it's a bit less poppy and tons more experimental than their current output of material.

^ Yeah, it's OK but..great?

Anyway, you know the real argument is about their Merriweather Post Pavilion album.
Loose_Lips - you live in the area and maybe you've been to the venue. Do you have any thoughts on the album?

I've been to the venue yes... it's alot like the nissan pavilion if you must know. As for the album I really dig some songs on it "Summertime Clothes" "Brothersport" "In The Flowers" and "Girls" but, I found it to be lacking as a whole and I never, ever listen to the entire album through.

It's not that I 'must know' about MMP - I grew up in the general area where you live, I think. I saw Morrissey play at Merriweather Post Pavillion in 1992 - never been to Nissan pavillion though..I haven't lived in the area since about 1993.
I'm not much of an Animal Collective fan but, naturally, that album name always reminds me of the place

I do and it's fantastic. Anyone even remotely interested in pop should give it a go.

Feels is their best, try again bumble****

That's impossible, as Sung Tongs exists.

It's an alright venue, definitely not worth naming an album after though. Pretty much a typical big outdoor concert place with a big stage. In fact I always preferred Nissan because you can smoke weed there and nobody really gives a fuck. Where'd you grow up?

And clutknuckles is right, Sung Tongs is definitely their best.

Various suburbs of DC. The longest stretch was in Manassas, VA.
When I saw Morrissey at MMP in 92 they didn't have a handle on the weed smoking situation at all. I think it was the first time I smoked good hashish

I'm just getting into them. I only listened to Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished and Danse Manatee a couple of times, so I started from the start. I don't know...they're interesting. I can't say I feel it all the way just yet, but I can see it growing on me. I think I like Danse Manatee a bit more. Anyway, their music certainly has the power to make me want to hear more.

So, a question for the fans - What should I check next? Also, I have to say that I usually like avant garde and experimental side of pop music, so that's not a problem. What album has the right balance of avant garde and pop?
