Ok, what I'm really trying to say is, of all the things you could not like about Animal Collective, Avey and Panda's voices? That's fucking insane. Maybe I could see him thinking they're boring, but their voices? What the fuck? Such beautiful voices.

Some people prefer the American Idol-style vocals - well-trained, perfectly pitched, blah blah blah. I admire that sometimes, but I love AC and Arcade Fire and Radiohead and others because the vocals are so emotive and raw. It makes you feel the music. That can go overboard, of course, like Rural Alberta Advantage (at times, though I love them), Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Bright Eyes (is that filter still in place?), even Jeff Mangum gets annoying sometimes. Some people have zero tolerance, though.
"I like my bags sizeable." -someone, not me probably.

And remember, half the world hates Bjork, can't stand to listen to her sing. I'm sure half the people on the board feel the same way. That, to me, is fucking crazy. I feel the same way about Joanna Newsom, and over half the people that hear her can't stand her.

This is actually going to be one of those criticisms you can't contest. It's not like he's saying, "Gosh, Animal Collective is unoriginal," which of course opens the door to "You pedestrian scum, don't you know what soundscapes are?" Drew raises a good point here. (Sorry, Know.) You can't make someone like a voice.

Quick question related to AC. I just started listening to them and so far I really like Strawberry Jam but I don't care for MPP. Any suggestions for what album I should listen to next? They have so many to choose I can't decide.
