What's the best Animal Collective album and why is it Strawberry Jam?

>Only 3 good songs
Most overrated album of theirs

jam of a lifetime

No, its Spirit They're Gone.

Feels

following Feels

>actually liking le epic randumbXD communist band

Fuck this board

What are you talking about?

I love experimental AnCo, but their more poppy stuff with actual focus is much better.
STGSTV has the highest highs, but Feels is more consistently good all around imo.
Strawberry Jam is fun, but a bit overrated

Feels and Strawberry Jam are equal to me in a weird way. For me it goes:
2nd half of Feels (Banshee Beat onward)>1st half of SJ (Peacebone-Fireworks)>1st half of Feels>2nd half of SJ

where is the love for Hollinndagain

MPP is their masterpiece in terms of sonics

It feels like a partner album to HCTI whereas Danse Manatee is a partner album to STGSTV. Really cool AnCo phase

After having listened to all of their album, numerous times, MPP is my favorite
Hollinndagain is super underrated

Campfire Songs might not be their best, but it's my favorite. After that, I'd honestly have to say MPP.

Painting With next question

Is it wrong that I didn't like sung tongs but love STGSTV

Feels and Merriweather Post Pavilion are on equal ground, I would say. Strawberry Jam is too wacky. It's like Animal Collective decided they wanted to act like dorky toddlers for an album. It's still good but in a completely different way.

>is it wrong that i liked their worst album but love their best?
no user

production in MPP is god tier but there are some duds imo SJ is great start to finish

because

no, fuck off

MPP has always been my favorite, but I'm always too afraid to admit it and usually I say Strawberry Jam instead.

MPP is intensely overrated

Forest Gopel is one of their best songs tbqh

Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished is their best album.

That said Strawberry Jam is fantastic and it's definitely their best pop album and one of the better pop albums of that decade.

Absolutely disgusting.

If STGSTV was anco, it would probably split off in a tier with CHz between good and great
