Animal Collective, Panda Bear, etc.

[Indifferent Clox]

Oh my God.

I have gotta see these guys live

just listened to live versions of Peacebone, bros, and fireworks

fucking off the charts.

[Indifferent Clox]

Also in case you don't know who they are; they are number 1 and 2 on pitchfork (panda Bear is 1 and is part of Animal Collective which is 2) for 2007. They are on most critics top ten. They are like Pink Floyd Meets the Beach Boys meets Radiohead Meets Pavement.

[ron the dial]

except nowhere near as good as any of those bands. maybe pavement. they have their moments.

[Indifferent Clox]

I think they are close honestly. I think they are gonna go down as one of the biggest bands of our generation. No bad albums yet. They are like the new Flaming Lips.

[ron the dial]

What other bands can you liken them to? I don't think you've used enough yet.

There is no way they will go down as one of the biggest band of our generation. They make a whole lot of unappealing noise with a few solid melodies here and there. They best thing that they've done is create an album cover inspired by Henry Darger.

[Indifferent Clox]

I think they are amazing. That's my opinon though.

I think the way they use their voice to do amazing stuff is pretty cool, their albums link and just build up and crescendo in all the right pplaces while being extremley trippy.

[FakeLaser]

They're decent.

[Indifferent Clox]

I think it is one of those bands that really has to grow on you and you have to listen to all the way through to really enjoy their albums, as they aren't individual song driven.

They don't sound like CloudDead but I think CloudDead is Similiar in this regard.

[FakeLaser]

Yeah, I can see that. cLOUDDEAD is definitely a grower

[Kane Knight]

Clox basically thinks everything is amazing, though, and if you don't like everything he likes, you're an elitist.

[Indifferent Clox]

I never said I think they are elitists. Just you.

[Kane Knight]

Ah. So it's okay for you to generalise, but not me.

Thanks for the lesson in hypocrisy. :D

[Triple A]

I love them both. I have been listening to Animal Collective for like the past 3 hours.

[Indifferent Clox]

Do you like Devendra Banhart?

[FakeLaser]

Yes

[mitch_h]

Yea I like them, saw them at the Pheonix in September, it was a pretty good show although Avey was sick so Panda played a couple songs.

[Indifferent Clox]

avey tare is pretty amazing to.

Did you guys hear the backwards album?
