Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam

[azaghal1981]

Is anyone else as thoroughly impressed with this album as I am? It's easily their most accessible and polished work yet. I don't think an album has kept this perfect a balance between pop and experimental/noise since the Olivia Tremor Control's Black Foliage. They're two completely different sounding albums but are comparable in that sense. "Peace Bone," "Chores," "For Reverend Green" and "Winter Wonder Land" will all be stuck in my head for a while.

haven't heard it yet, not on the Domino --- or whoever's distributing them these days --- but I'm looking forward, to say the least.  Person Pitch was, you know, good. I can get with the comparison to OTC, sure. You know where I can, uh, score?

yeah

first listen when I downloaded it the other day was kinda meh....its growing on me rapidly though
 
 I think I'd add "Fireworks" to the songs stuck in my head list (I agree with the other three, lol)....great tune

[azaghal1981]

The middle section of fireworks is especially catchy.
 
 
 I'm liking strawberry jam a lot more than feels.

Peace Bone single leaked a couple days ago and the b-side, Safer is just as good as anything on SJ. Sounds completely different though.

This caught me by surprise.

I haven't heard it yet.  I can't stand to listen to Sung Tongs (or whatever the hell that one was called), but I really liked their last one a ton.
