is p4k the only reason SJ is generally admired on here and the other two are generally hated?
all of them are equally obnoxious because they sound like something Corey Feldman could've made, i laugh everytime when i see someone comparing these albums to their early output, even MPP is far better in a way it's just corny slightly overproduced synthpop, but nowhere as bad as pic related.

every album there is in the wrong position.
Lucas Baker
The songwriting on SJ is wayyy better, and the sound effects/synths are more interesting and mixed better.
Noah Peterson
>a typical p4k/fantano drone
no, it's not better, it's just as shit as the other two
Jeremiah Carter
>equating Animal Collective to anything Corey Feldman has ever done
Zachary Allen
they're not that different to say that SJ is "wayyy better"
Robert Nguyen
>actually liking a bunch of white guys sperging out with some African drums
Thanks I needed that laugh
Chase Hughes
still better than SJ, CHz and PW
Asher Baker
they extremely different lol
Caleb King
> my opinion is correct, I'm mad. And pitchfork is to blame
The post
Also, Strawberry Jam is my favorite anco album and best balances their unique electronic flavored beats and synths with live band instrumentation and structuring them with those anco genius pop sensibilities
They've only ever used any kind of african percussion once during CHz as far as I know. Always remember to research before you shitpost
Matthew Wilson
Ah, user, but if I did my research it wouldn't be a shitpost !
Angel Martinez
People assume that PW is hated because it got some mediocre reviews.
Where my PW-lovers at?
Samuel Gray
I like it. It's still near the bottom of their discography imo, but I still think it's a good record
Owen Howard
What the fuck are you talking about? Their music is literally filled with shakers and polyrhythmic tappings on random drums and wild unintelligible screams. If not African drums, it's sure as hell African drumming.

Gavin Hughes
PW is a fun album. Better than MPP at least
Ian Cooper
Yeah, some of their rhythm shows influence from west african drumming tradition (and so does a ton of pop music), but it's not "filled" with it. And they've always used kit drums, not "random" drums. I don't think they ever used any kind of hand drum or shaker until CHz when Panda had some bongos and an axatse on his kit, although some stuff on ST sounds like it could've come from a shaker
And wild unintelligible screams aren't a strictly african thing, and they only really ever had "unintelligible screaming during HCTI if we're talking studio, although they did do a of of weird vocal stuff during Danse/Hollinndagain era live stuff
Jonathan Sullivan
ive really started to love CHz recently
Austin Gray
Hear it on vinyl. The mastering must be different because it sounds a lot less compressed and all the various sounds awesome far more distinct.
It's one of my favorite AnCo records now.

Fuck off pleb
Brayden Thompson
Strawberry Jam is an enjoyable record.
Owen Cooper
It's just primal by definition.. just because africa is more in touch with their primal roots doesn't make primal music african by nature.. if anything it takes influence from native american culture as a whole. That other guy mentions africa only because Deakin wrote his new album while living there
Isaac Campbell
why are you calling people Fantano drones when you're using the Corey Feldman meme which you got from watching his channel?
Tyler Gonzalez
I wouldn't say love for me personally, but I've come to realize it's pretty great as of late as well.
