It's also already got 'Album of The Year' at Pitchfork sewn up as they've given it their highest score in 5 years[/quote]

yeah, it doesnt mean its a good album. i saw animal collective live they were quite horrible.

when i look this hype around this band, all i can say is , i just dont get it.

Bought it without downloading it for a sneek listen, and still waiting to bloody hear it! Been so busy with work and other stuff I aint had time to listen to it in one go instead of skipping around. But im hearing good things...

i see there's a difference in opinion. Luckily I will offer mine and put the matter to rest. It's great!

very much enjoying it - like electronic beach boys and x.t.c. and those who say it's not for playing quietly - yer not wrong at all - improves massively with volume when it takes over your whole headspace; very nice indeed!

'my girls' and 'bluish' are tops for me so far...

beach boys and xtc ......yes.....i'm not enjoying it tho.washes over me with nothing grabbing my attention.the bits of sub bass are generally annoying.
big fish small pond of an album.
i'll still check out the next one tho.

pretty confident that more than a month onwards, i've learned to like it as it is as being half amazing, half not.
but these days i'm pretty much ignoring it. listened to it yesterday and skipped around and then went elsewhere.

didnt see that one coming for an AC album.
