iTunes Review
Since 2000, Animal Collective has combined far-flung elements — Beach Boys-influenced vocals, ambient textures, bursts of noise, folky singalongs, psychedelic explorations — into a unique sound that is both experimental and melody loving. Merriweather Post Pavilion, their ninth full-length, is a breakthrough. The group — Avey Tare (David Portner), Panda Bear (Noah Lennox), and Brian Weitz (Geologist) — have created their poppiest work yet, and it sounds great. In the mid-‘80s, Sonic Youth started to shape their overtone-filled textures into potent songs, and on Merriweather, Animal Collective pulls off a similar coup. The desire for familial domesticity never sounded as ecstatic as it does on “My Girls.” (And who knew a line like “I just want four walls and adobe slats for my girls” could be so catchy?) “Also Frightened” evokes ‘60s psych filtered through the band’s 21st-century sensibility, while “Bluish” is a mellow slice of phase-shifted bliss etched with details that play off the lead vocal in winsome ways. On the closer, “Brother Sport,” the group layers vocals and percussion with delirious glee: it’s a great send-off for a joyful album.
Customer Reviews
Mmhmm.
In the past, Animal Collective has been known for their strange sounds and almost incomprehensible arrangement, but with Merriweather Post Pavillion, it all falls into place. Still deliciously unorganized, these songs are more understandable than past tunes have been, but they have not lost any of that original quirk. What I also find really enjoyable is the slight African influences, with both the vocals and the percussion. It's a little bit like as if Vampire Weekend was chewed up by a robot and spat back out in neon colours. Great must-haves include Brother Sport and Summertime Clothes. Enjoy!

You Could Name This The Album of The Year - for 2009
Animal Collective have always been a band that creat's pieces of art. It's much more than music. This album exceeds my insanly high expectations. It has everything that I wanted from them and more. If you don't buy this album you will miss the album of january (for sure) and (possibly) 2009.
