Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion (album, speakers, quote, song)

So I've spinned the album a few more times, and it's definitely getting better with every listen. Summertime Clothes, and Brothersport are great songs, and the didgeridoo (?) in Lion In A Coma is just brilliant.

Just finishing In the Flowers right now, and let me just say WOW. I can't wait to hear the rest of this album.

The bowl I just sparked up is probably helping as well. ;-)

Yes, they've become my favourite band to get HIGH! while I'm listening, since seeing them live.

I'm curious to hear what that song is.

Oh, finally got to a better sound system. If anything was ever meant to be payed very very loudly, this is it. The subwoofer makes all the difference. I'm in love with this album.

I think this album is great! I agree with Brad, 'Taste' is a great track and probably my favorite also. This album is like a combination of Person Pitch and Strawberry Jam, both of which i liked. The direction they've went in is great but this should be their most pop release. To extremely pop with their music and it could take away some of their creativity.

I agree with you, when it comes to creativity and originality they really scaled back on this album but I'm not complaining. It's their most accessible work to date, I think it charted at #13 or something like that.

I can confirm gravityslips' statement, it is indeed eargasmic when you're high. I just wish I could crank up the sound at night...>.>
