Animal Collective - Time Skiffs (February 4, 2022) Album • Page 4

i’ll check them out and report back

 

interested to see what you start with!

 

MPP seems obvious no?

 

Yeah, it's the easy start point and my favorite. I might suggest for you specifically to check out Strawberry Jam first but either works honestly.

 

this thing is so replayable. did not anticipate liking it at all. biggest surprise in a while.

 

i’ll do strawberry jam then

 

Good choice

 

bonefish

 

still can't say enough about how this is a massive return to form.

 

I listen to it very often, so damn good. It feels like a culmination of all their album’s different sounds.

 

i have no frame of reference for this band (haven't even heard MPP) but this really did it for me, with the exception of the last song. felt very tame impala currents-era but with more beatles psych era inspiration. prester john is a fucking tune.

 

Definitely check out their other stuff, esp Feels!

 

planning on it!

 

apparently rejected Panda Bear music for the Calm app

 

Panda Bear/Sonic Boom collab album, presumably called "Reset" and has 9 songs. First single is suspected to come out next Wednesday but could be sooner

 

Is Panda Bear solo stuff good?

 

yep! Person Pitch is absurdly good, I really liked Tomboy and Grim Reaper. Didnt care for the most recent one though.

 

Person Pitch is def one of the best albums of that era.

And Grim Reaper rules too

 

Person Pitch and Grim Reaper are very good. The rest ranges from okay to worthwhile.

 

Incredible performance. Album’s probably making my top five of the year. Just a fantastic return to form with arguably their best (or one of their best) albums.

 

Sounds like I'm in the minority but I feel like this album is just okay. I'd probably like these songs better live but the studio recordings seem kinda flat, just nine casuals jams at an easy volume. I've tried cranking up the volume to make it seem like there's more variance in intensity but it still hasn't clicked. Has anyone else struggled to get into this album?

 

I'm with the airplane dude, album is fine enough but nothing really stands out as that exciting or wowing, it's just a nice little listen.

 

Wrong. Album is very good
