Listen to Hollinndagain, then the Peacebone single, then the self-titled Panda Bear album.

Listen to "Chocolate Girl" three times, Campfire Songs in reverse order, and then "Iko Ovo" through your car stereo, and finally Fall Be Kind with a dog in your lap...then you will really get Animal Collective.

And Campfire Songs in reverse order is just plain silly.

Animal Collective fans aren't made! They're born!
You can't just go buy any album. It's scientific. You gotta buy Strawberry Jam. It's the departure point. Listen to it every night around dusk for about a month. Then buy Sung Tongs, then I want you to steal a car, get in it, and drive west. Play the album full blast. When the album ends, get out, and get into a fight. Then get back into the car, then come back and meet me in Columbia, Maryland. I will let you into the most prestigious amphitheater of all time... the Meriweather Post Pavilion.
Then... you're gonna be an Animal Collective fan, man.

Strawberry Jam was the first one I listened to and I hated it. Then I listened to Feels awhile after that. Hated it. Listened to MPP when it came out, loved it. Went back and listened to Feels, loved it. Listened to Strawberry Jam, LOVED IT. So yeah, MPP is probably the most accessible and definitely the best entry point album for Animal Collective. Most people would be turned off by 10 seconds of Peacebone.

That 1-2 of For Reverend Green --> Fireworks is the most powerful combo in music history (DON'T ARGUE), and that's what makes Strawberry Jam my favorite. But I've never met anyone that fell in love with AC because of Strawberry Jam. Typically it's Sung Tongs or MPP.

The first half of that, you read my mind. The second half of that was opposite of true for me.

(Looks like you now HAVE met someone who fell in love with Animal Collective with AC because of Strawberry Jam.)

But I've never met anyone that fell in love with AC because of Strawberry Jam. Typically it's Sung Tongs or MPP. I won't argue with that 1-2 combo, and I agree most AC fans are due to MPP, and to a lesser extent, Sung Tongs. I thought Here Comes The Indian was barely listenable, and Sung Tongs was likable, but I didn't fall in love until the first two track from Feels, "Did You See The Worlds," and "Grass." That would be another reason why I'm all about Avey, and don't care much for Panda Bear. I still haven't listened to the new one. I'm in no rush to pop my cherry, I'm waiting for the right moment.

reverse is just plain silly. Don't quote me outa context mothafucka. I am personally a huge fan of queing up albums in reverse-tracklist order when the natural order becomes tiresome, but drew happened to reference possibly the most meticulously ordered AC album. I think it was Panda Bear who said that the transition between the first two tracks of Campfire Songs is one of his proudest moments in Animal Collective. I ain't gonna go fuckin' that shit up. As for Pullhair Rubeye, well, I would say "fuck the haters" but I like you people, and I'm fairly certain I'm in the minority if not the only person among us who's listened to the damn thing more than once. I think people get caught up on the fact that it's reversed, and that stops them from genuinely enjoying it for what it is. I personally don't understand why; there are countless varieties of sound-effects and processing employed on nearly every Animal Collective track -- some throughout entire albums, especially their most popular one. Lyrics are overrated.

This is funny because I would argue that Chores --> For Reverend Green is the most powerful combo in music history, and that's what makes Strawberry Jam my favorite. We couldn't disagree less.
