     I had this album for a while and I listened to a track here and there but never gave it a good listen. This is the first solo album from Animal Collective member David Portner or Avey Tare. This album had a couple catchy tracks but overall the album sounded like exactly what it was... One member of the Animal Collective doing his thing alone. Many of the songs sounded like AC songs that were missing a couple layers.  Those couple tracks got my attention but really seemed to be an unfocused incomplete or rushed effort... flip through the tracks and find the couple that catch your attention... Otherwise, just listen to Animal Collective albums. (015)
