     I have the tendency to gravitate towards The later Animal Collective albums. They are one of those cases of experimental bands that lost a whole lot of their oldest fans due to their development. They have always been experimental, even on those later albums that i like but in their earlier years they were  very experimental, and very lo-fi. I have been trying to branch out a bit more with these guys and dig into their older catalogue. This album is a middle point as their sound had gone away from their first few albums and started to move in the direction of their later albums. It was considered their breakthrough album by a lot of critics and publications. It was made by only 2 members of the 4 base members (Avey Tare and Panda Bear) and it was pretty different because of that fact. Its a very stripped down affair with a lot of acoustic guitars and tribal drums. I would describe the sound as a Psychedelic, folk album with a touch of a beach boys sound. I really dug this album and it was pretty chill as far as Animal Collective releases go. (124)
