What's the appeal of Animal Collective? Everything I've heard from them sounds fucking horrible...

As a diehard Hz fan, they're very talented at layering sounds into melody.

If it just sounds like noise to you, you either aren't paying attention or the noise isn't attuned to you. Which isn't a negative thing, at all.

It just may not be for you.

They're alright if you enjoy repetitive music, repetitive music, repetitive music, repetitive music, repetitive music, repetitive music, repetitive music,repetitive music, repetitive music, repetitive music.

I agree.

Animal Collective is legitimately one of the worst bands of all time.

This is what happens when a bunch of faux-artsy numales really want to be cool and different but are too dumb and uninteresting to do it any way possible and also think they're too good for anything that conveys any kind of emotion. Or is catchy. Or is written well. Or has anything redeeming.

Listening to this god-awful band is like having an 8th grader beat me over the head with a finger painting. It is so contrived it's agonizing. These guys so hard to be artsy it sounds like the members have veigns popping out of their forehead.

It goes out of its way to be different because it has no other ways to be interesting and the way it's different is just random bullshit. It's lame as fuck and them cranking that factor up to 11 doesn't change that.

I don't expect any kind of rebuttal because their fans are the worst kind of hipsters that act like babies when someone doesn't like what they like and think insulting someone is an argument.

nice pasta

>insulting someone isnt an argument
>still calls people numales
Clearly you haven't listened to MPP, SJ, Sung Tongs, Feels, or STGSTV if you think they're not trying to convey emotion. The first 2 are also extremely catchy

>you don't like the exact same albums I like?
>CONTRARIAN PLEB BAIT

Chores is easily the worst song, and it isn't even a bad song

And I chose those two because it seemed like op wanted to skip over the most accessible stuff in their catalog, but those are also their best imo, though there whole discography is great

Animal Collective are like marmite: you either love them or hate them. I personally dig them a lot, but can appreciate why someone would find them really annoying, especially the vocals. I'd try the latter half of STGSTV (it's more restrained and conveys a bigger variety of emotions) but if you don't enjoy that you probably won't ever be able to "get it".

Thats really unfortunate because the 4th and 5th tracks are the best in their discography
