Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion (2009)

it's not the link you posted

bluish is just lovely.
and yeah, i'm not the kind to bitch about mp3s, but it feels like some of this should be jumping out of the speakers or playing on top of other bits.

Ha, didn't believe this at first cuz of all the shenanigans here, but it really did leak!

yup, right here: http://www.zshare.net/download/524534751a4f71ea/

Damn you Roxy...and on Christmas no less. For shame!

this really has leaked, guys. NO FOR SERIOUS. I think I'll refrain from commenting just now (I overdosed on the two previously leaked songs and so after one listen they're still easy standouts), although I gotta say something about the drums on 'In the Flowers'. Woaaaaaaah. Yeah that'll do.

there's a better rip available now, here it is at 320kbs

meowy boxing day!

in terms of songwriting the record is at the same level as Syd Barrett (Piper era) and Brian Wilson, so it's the best bunch of songs they ever recorded.
Lindsey Buckingham is also a big influence (No More Runnin' for example).
side 1 is slightly better than 2, where the the record tends to get repetetive production wise, but the songwriting is such classicly perfect, it's a masterpiece nevertheless.

this band is pretty tedious tbh

no way ice creams http://www.zshare.net/download/524534751a4f71ea/

people only pretend to listen to this band - instead they listen to modest mouse

this is pretty tedious tbh

try modest mouse it might cheer u up

have u heard Hollindagain?????

no WHATS IT LIKE!!!!

like this!

it def compares favorably w/revolver era beatles and mozart - not sure how to describe the sound tho - too original !

I really couldn't say for sure.

pretty zzz this

this band have the most annoying superfans of any band around, these days. if you don't believe me, check out the collected animals board.

that said, this album is fucking amazing.

also see the 900 page thread on atease.

Didn't Collected Animals die in february this year? Os it it invite only nowadays/reg only?

nothing personal, but you're an asshole for posting that here.

does this thing eventually go away, or will i need to restart my computer?

oh noooooo i was typing my entire senior thesis in my hotmail and now its lost foreverrrrr

we're no strangers to ctrl+alt+delete.

this month has me hating that song so much, you have noooo idea

linking to the fake rickroll leak: priceless
linking to some supposed forum for us ILXORS to have a laff at, but no not really, actually it's something that NEVER goes away: ;_;

why u break heart gr80?

at some point someone should start a thread that's actually about this bloody album

We need to find a way to corrupt someone at Domino's pressing plant and rickroll the retail cd.

that's the logical next step, i suppose.

"at some point someone should start a thread that's actually about this bloody album"

done

l-r rick astley, gradski, me

It's so weird though, I never really thought of Animal Collective fans as being any sort of collected force until about Prospect Hummer, since then its gone a bit nuts. Even though they were my favourite band for a few years there, can I please not be tarred with this brush? I'm way more butthurt about strawberry jam than I could be by rick rolls.

btw, I got a charlie brown book for christmas, 1955-6

its been out for almost 24 hours now

how many people do you think have it?

nominal- that thing won't open, and now can't be thrown away- is it a nasty virus of some kind? I'm a double dipped sucker for downloading anything of this thread, obviously

fool me once

I have some affection for the hyperactive kids on atease (the Collected Animals folks are 50% insane, 50% dicks, though), but something about them finally getting the album and then spending 50 pages wondering when they'd get a better quality version really fucked me the fuck off. Straw, camel's back, etc., I suppose.

P.S. that rickroll, fuuuuuuuuuuck yoooooooou. Although I've bookmarked it, obv.

it opens! it does
