Huh...
I'm a fan of everything else Animal Collective has done, but for some reason this just isn't sticking.

This is not their best work
While this is pleasant-sounding enough, it's not terribly compelling. There is a dearth of rhythmic activity and the textures aren't nearly as interesting as anything that can be found in their previous electronic-oriented work. Not nearly as good as Water Curses as far as a chaser EP goes. On the other hand, MPP is still awesome!

These guys have yet to disappoint.
Nope, I don't get it
hmmm. not saying it wouldnt grow on me if I listened to the whole thing through, but I dont find anything here to reel me in and make me want to listen to more. seems tedious and pretentious.
Why the low avg rating?
Are people rating this album down because they're mad it isn't available in their country? I can't think of any other reason this album would be averaging 3.5 stars; it's a pretty stellar EP. Not as many memorable moments as there are on MPP, but Graze is one of my new favorite AC songs ever.

Is it just me, or why is it different than the version I've been hearing?? The one with the Grateful Dead sample? The one that's on their myspace page?

RAGE
what the fuck is up with the music industry?????? I guess this "not available" thing is something to do with the bizarre and antiquated protectionism of the record industry. They just don't get it - make your music available on legal download sites or off to P2P we go. How do AC feel about their music being unavailable for legal download in the UK??? Great album!!!
You Know, Man
I just really dug this fully. It's like the first Animal Collective album(ish) that I've gotten through in one sitting.
How would you know...
if this wasn't that great?
Always interesting
Plus it's a cool use of those five free downloads. Almost as if Emusic planned it that way...

Who Are…Gauntlet Hair
By Arye Dworken
Walk into any barbershop and ask for the Gauntlet Hair, and there's a good chance they'll have no idea what you're talking about. That's because Andy R. and Craig Nice coined the term as teenagers — it comes from a private joke inspired by an old picture of the guitar legend Johnny Winter. (By the way, if your barber does accept the challenge, the duo insists that the outcome should look a lot like a… more »
