3 out of 10
Animal Collective. To some (mostly liberal arts students), their name is synonymous with progressiveness... to everybody else, the name is synonymous with shit. Personally, I can respect their efforts to do something different, but I can also in the same breath say that I don't like and have never liked anything they've ever released. I will, however, continue to give them endless chances in the hopes that one of their future releases will be breakthrough. For that to happen, they have to tone down the anti-melodies while keeping their unique sonic sound. I'm picturing Tom Waits playing the laptop. We can only hope he beats them to the punch.
