Although the whole "reworking" thing doesn't really count when you pull tracks from other albums (especially live albums), this is pretty nice

PW doesn't really need "reworking", it just needs better sound design, a lot of the kitschy electronics on PW just don't work. Some of the songwriting was good though, sounded like a radio friendly animal collective, which is better than most bands

don't really understand why it was slated that hard

Too short, it sounds like a demo of the actual album. Now that I'm hearing this I think it may be one of their best albums. Crazy how "bad" production can fuck good music so much.

Hnnnng bagels in kiev sounds so fuckin tight

I think that part of it is that animal collective are just trying projects that people aren't into, trying sounds that people just aren't resonating with, especially as they get progressively more electronic.

they need to assess where they're at, but hearing the stuff coming out of deakin, avey, and panda, they all still have talent and are capable of producing at least one more great record

Im not as hopeful as you, sadly

if they make another panda/avey album together it will be amazing. panda and avey balance each other perfectly. person pitch is an anomaly in an otherwise mediocre solo discography for panda, and avey hasn’t made a solo project above a 7/10 either. did you see their sung tongs show they did together? it was beautiful.

Yeah there were some really nice moments. You can hear how their voices have aged but they dont so bad. It was really nice to finally get a sung tongs revival.
Btw I'm listening to the guys eyes version in the OP and holyshit it might be their best perfomance of that song I have ever listened to

I think tomboy is pretty good, wouldnt know if calling it mediocre is fair. I used to really dislike it but for some reason I have been going back to it lately. His first album was good too.

>uploaded today
hello, guy who uploaded the video

I kinda want them to go forward and try something new out, hopefully trying something slightly more organic, I don't want them to revert though, they shouldn't try to run over old ground. Either that or they need to embrace the electronics in a more refined or detailed approach, the squelchy tacky sounds aren't doing it for me really.

I really thought Tomboy was interesting, PBVSGR was fun and had some nice moments like Tropic of Cancer and Crosswords, and the EPs that came with it had some fun songs on it. In a way I think the aesthetic worked. I also liked Avey's thing from last year

and nah I haven't seen them but my favorite Animal Collective live stuff is from around Sung Tongs-Feels era
