The most interesting album of all time. Each listen provides a unique experience due in large part to the depth of production elements. There's "wall of sound" and then there's this.

The "pet sounds" of the new millenium. Animal Collective has always been on the cutting edge, but Merriweather opens the door so the rest of us can tag along.
