But there also the bands/artists they hype to shit, and even though they arent' that great, they always give them good reviews just because they have been hyping them.

Oh I was mostly just exaggerating for effect. Pitchfork praises a lot of shit that is horrible (see: that best coast album Pea posted) but they cover Animal Collective the same way they cover radiohead which I think is pretty excessive. I guess drew likes their early stuff but I can't stand anything before Sung Tongs and even then I only think Sung Tongs and Feels are pretty good.

The last time I was lost in the Enchanted Forest, stomping through the snarls of black branches, snapping sticks and rustling the leaves, I came across a bent hag. She whispered a few words, scattered some herbs to the wind, and shrunk my hands into little one-inch nubs at the end of my full-grown arms. Helpless, and with nightfall hastily approaching, I stumbled across a campfire that had been built by the friendly furry creatures of the Animal Collective.
Let's not even pretend that their current reviews read even a little bit better than this.

Sweet. This should tide me over until a new Hold Steady album drops. I think 2012 is going to be a stellar year for music. It'd be nice of Craig Finn landed a spot on the 2012 lineup.

I'm sampling the Lips' 24 hour song, "7 Skies H3". I say 'sampling' because I know for a fucking fact that I will never listen to the whole thing, and I'd be utterly surprised if literally anyone else in the world ever did, either.
It is fucking terrible. Flat, formless, dull, stupid, boring, dumb. So dumb. Anyway with the next reported Lips album featuring a bunch more stupid, gimmicky collaborations it seems perfectly clear that we'll never hear another note of interesting music from them again.

...just left the house for ten minutes or so and came back; left "7 Skies H3" on while I was gone and came back to it still repeating the same seventy seconds or so of music that I spent ten minutes listening to before I left.

I'm going to have to disagree solely based on the fact they're collaborating with Deerhoof soon, and Deerhoof can do no wrong.
