centipede hz by Animal Collective

[Indifferent Clox]

how do you guys like the new album?

[Buzzkill]

Kinda nervous to listen to it

[Gertner]

Animal Collective is the biggest pile of pretentious hipster douchebag shit around

[Shisen Kopf]

I've never even heard of this crap. I'm sure it sucks though.

[Triple A]

I like it I think, after 1st listen. Sorta just sounds like an "Avey Tare" album though, but better. I think I "immediately" liked all their other albums so idk.

[Triple A]

applesauce my fav song i think

[Triple A]

applesauce

really good

[Triple A]

the other songs are not that good maybe, I don't know

[FakeLaser]

i like it

kinda like the other 2 tracks they released earlier this year more tho

[Gertner]

i like it

kinda like the other 2 tracks they released earlier this year more tho

Ironically

[Triple A]

I liked it better the 1st time i heard it........... when it was on vinyl.......

[FakeLaser]

i like their next album more but you probably havent heard it yet

i havent even heard it yet

[Gertner]

Hipsters are jokes in general

[FakeLaser]

HIPSTERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[mitch_h]

I like it. Can't wait for a better quality version though. The two panda bear tracks are great especially new town burnout and the drumming is really cool.

[Triple A]

Oh good @ better quality, it does just sound like a "96kbps webrip" or something. Thought that's just how it would be, "underproduced" and stuff. But good. I like when it is produced a lot.

[mitch_h]

Yeah I bought today's supernatural on itunes like some 14 year old. and the difference between that and the webrip is huge.

[Buzzkill]

New Town Burnout is prob my fav but I've only given it "one listen through"

Most of my favorite AC songs took a long time to swirl around in my brain before making sense

[Buzzkill]

Until I listen to this on acid/on 3 days without sleep, I'm giving it an 8.5/10

[Buzzkill]

on the animal collective scale of music metrics

[Malfeitor]

Hipsters are jokes in general

Too many skinny jeans and v-necks.

[Buzzkill]

How many hipster jokes does it take to reveal that you have a horrible sense of humor?

One.

Please submit more because they're all so varied.

[Kane Knight]

Please submit more because they're all so varied.

Unlike hipsters lolololol.

You see, it's funny because the hipster community is more narrow and rigid than the mainstream they claim to eschew!

[Triple A]

Are u saying that the majority of the entire world is more varied than a cliche of people with similar interests

Woah. You're quick.

FREELANCE JOURNALISM

Yes, and?

[FakeLaser]

That's what I'm wondering.

[Kane Knight]

I guess making sense is too "mainstream."

[FakeLaser]

lol ok

[Kane Knight]

I don't know. If you can't be arsed to explain why should I be arsed to care?

[Indifferent Clox]

I really like Monkey riches

[FakeLaser]

I don't know. If you can't be arsed to explain why should I be arsed to care?

Except you haven't.

[FakeLaser]

Yes

[Kane Knight]

Glad you agree.

[FakeLaser]

No

[Gertner]

How's that Occupy thing going lol

[FakeLaser]

Great actually

[Gertner]

What exactly has it accomplished? Raising awareness doesn't count.

[FakeLaser]

lots of things

[Gertner]

So basically nothing.

[FakeLaser]

no

[FakeLaser]

it's irrelevant in this thread

stop trolling

[FakeLaser]

aka i dont give a fuck

[FakeLaser]

what some dude called "gertner" has to say

[Gertner]

Shocking that a group of hipsters managed to accomplish nothing, except live off non-hipsters.

[FakeLaser]

haha that's hilarious

[FakeLaser]

HIPSTERS

[FakeLaser]

really gets under my skin

[Gertner]

Not supposed to. Just pointing out the truth.

[FakeLaser]

yah ok

[Gertner]

I'm actually going to deny someone welfare tomorrow just because.

Anyways, ta ta.

[mitch_h]

320kbps version is out now. Love this album.

[FakeLaser]

honestly

i dont give a shit that some fat basement dwelling unemployed dude who is miserable and claims to be a freelance journalist

and some douchebag canadian hick club-going bloghaus bro who posts stupid shit just to piss people off

want to post "hipster" take-downs or something

[Gertner]

You cared anough to post.

I win.

Night

[Kane Knight]

no

Did you explain it in your latest blog, between the importance of a dead movement and your love for something too obscure for anyone to give a fuck about?

[Kane Knight]

i dont give a shit that some fat basement dwelling unemployed dude who is miserable and claims to be a freelance journalist

man fuck that guy

[ron the dial]

lol @ everyone after this turned into "hipsters suck"

[Buzzkill]

Honestly Kane Knight I realize you are a really messed up human being in real life, but could you please shape up before I start deleting everything you post in this forum?

I am not a "hipster" nor do I care one way or the other about your views on "hipsters", but two things: a) You are the internet equivalent of a hipster, which is even worse than being a hipster, and b) you are not contributing anything to these threads other than pointless arguments that have nothing to do with music.

With that, lets all continue our discussion of Centipede Hz by Animal Collective.

Also everyone else trolling please kindly stop thanx

[Buzzkill]

Also, I don't understand how somebody with 148,000 posts, 95% of which consist of pure intellectual vanity, could possibly accuse anyone of being self promoting. That would just make them a hypocrite!

WOW THAT STINGS

Please write about this in whatever fictional publication you submit your "freelance" work to.

148,000+ message board posts does not make a freelance journalist.

[Kane Knight]

lol. You don't understand something you just made up? You must really be stupid.

Maybe if you'd used some of that "edge" on OWS, it would have accomplished something.

They raised awareness Kane. That's a massive accomplishment, although me writing Occupy Wall Street on my ass one afternoon and streaking would have accomplished the same result.

[Triple A]

un-self aware fat people who are way too sure of themselves

[Kane Knight]

Oh yeah. I forgot. "awareness."

[FakeLaser]

Way to dodge the real issue, repeatedly.

[Kane Knight]

I just don't care what you think. No go post that in your blog and don't forget to mention how much it hurts you.

[Kane Knight]

Maybe if you can work in douchetagOWS while you're there.

[Buzzkill]

Seriously dunno tho. Usually at this point I have figured out what they are going for with an album. Still kind of confused about Hz.

Going to see them on Sept. 20th, hopefully will "get it" by then.

Feel like I like it less after each listen. Seems like they deconstructed everything that made MPP great and are going back to their more individualistic sonic roots. I mean granted I'm nothing more than a freelance music journalist that writes only for TPWW music forums, but so far I am still on the fence. Still better than 90% of what's come out this year tho.

Need to wait for Pitchfork to review it before I can really make up my mind because I don't want to sound of out step with my demographic

[Triple A]

Sorta feel like I will never listen to it again besides that 1 song. I don't really like it that much. It is ok I guess.

[FakeLaser]

I haven't spent much time with this album

Seeing em Oct 2nd

This album is good you hipster douchebags

[Buzzkill]

CD just came in the mail, listening thru again with good headphones. We'll see what happens. Liking moonjock more already

[Buzzkill]

This is seriously 1000x better. Wide Eyed sounds like a completely different song

[Buzzkill]

All it took was one other hipster saying it was good and now I love it

[Buzzkill]

I am feeling really good about this right now

[Buzzkill]

AMANITAAA

[Buzzkill]

ALSO: 3:00-4:00 section of New Town Burnout omg

[Buzzkill]

This is a massive album to take in at once. Way more complex/dense than anything they have ever done

[FakeLaser]

gonna listen to this all day while sitting on my apple laptop at hipster hangout cafe orwell in bushwick, brooklyn, new york

[Gertner]

Are you going to Instagram yourself doing this?

[FakeLaser]

forgot my headphones fuck

[Buzzkill]

nooo

[Buzzkill]

This album makes MPP sound like Beach House - Teen Dream (2010, Pitchforks BNM, #5 record of 2010, a personal favorite and a true hipster classic that I only have an opinion on because I've heard other hipsters talk about how its song structures are really simple and thats why Beach House is good) in terms of complexity and song structure.

Pretty sure this is why it has taken me so long to wrap my brain around it. Each song has at least 5 distinct parts, each part overblown with dozens of samples that somehow work together miraculously. But even with each song snaking into a different shape every few minutes, they all retain a core element which unifies the track all the way through..

[Buzzkill]

Just realized that if I ever perform a Patrick Bateman-esque ritual murder on Kane Knight, my 5 minute monologue would be on why Loch Raven is one of the most important and under-appreciated works of modern American art regardless of medium.

[Buzzkill]

Wow holy shit a critical look at an album you are convinced people only like because they hear other people liking it. What place does my own opinion have in this discussion?

Shouldn't this personal take shatter your entire worldview?

[Buzzkill]

JK I just copied and pasted that from hipstermusicforums.org in the pretentious subforum

[Gertner]

I not only was angered, but greatly enjoyed that take as well.

[Buzzkill]

I love you

That would require the capacity to murder someone. And talk for five minutes. Pretty sure you'd fail hard at both.

[Buzzkill]

You sure got me there on my inability to talk for 5 minutes or murder someone..two of my biggest insecurities really

[Kane Knight]

You strike me as the kind of guy who spends a lot of time planning impotent revenge fantasies, though.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

That is ironic. If I had to pick out one person from that conversation who is a malign, vindictive creep it would probably not be Buzzkill.

[FakeLaser]

No place for irony in a hipster thread

[Buzzkill]

New Town Burnout 4 song of the year

[Buzzkill]

final verdict: great, but maybe a lil too "claustrophobic" and kinda exhausting.

after being submerged in this album for a few days strawberry jam sounds like a straightforward pop album...

[FakeLaser]

dunno i can't get into it yet

[Buzzkill]

give it time + volume.

needs a lot of patience even by AC standards...and blasting it in the car has made it even better and gets me "seriously amped", something no AC album has really done before

[Buzzkill]

Even a week ago was more an album that I "admired" than loved, but am currently really loving it. Every song gives me "goosebumps"
