Those songs are good and I do listen to this album in full (it is on my chart, it wouldn't be if i I didn't) but I still think Cuckoo Cuckoo, For Reverend Green, and Fireworks significantly outweigh the rest of the album.

Yeah, Animal Collective as a whole is lost on me. I enjoy Merriweather alright, and Spirit They've Gone has its moments, but neither does a whole lot for me, and the same goes for this one. Perhaps I'll try again someday.

Pretty much what he says... when reading these comments about reverend green and peacebone I was starting to believe those were really the only memorable thing in the record, but no. Chores and all the others really complete the scene. I didn't remember the names because I usually just let the whole thing play and forget to check.

"Cuckoo Cuckoo" and "Fireworks" (maybe "#1") are the only AnCo songs I seem to ever want to hear these days, so there's that

The For Reverend Green / Fireworks double-punch is close to perfection. And any album that has a closing track about a dog called Derek is surely worth all the adulation in the world.

A more enjoyable version of Merriweather Post Pavilion. It's still no Spirit They're Gone Spirit They've Vanished/Here Comes the Indian/Danse Manatee though, I never quite got into Chores and the ending tracks aren't half as strong as the earlier ones.

One of those records that I feel I should like much more than I do. It's cool enough, and pretty great at points, but it just doesn't resonate with me on any emotional level unfortunately.
