I don't really get the "hate" reactions for the new Animal Collective album. I find it weirdest still that the majority of the criticism comes from techno music enthusiasts and they all write serious "lord of the rings" arguments like they are struggling to pass a university essay. Ok maybe merriweather post pavilion is a bit overrated, etc., etc. so what? Where were all this criticism and "bright" perception on music when miserable forgotten "great" albums and music genres ruled the heads and lists of savage elitist connoisseurs and supposedly valid music sites? To make my point short and simple, merriweather post pavilion is at least a truly enjoyable album in comparison to many boring shit that we had to endure listening as "great" all these years! And what about the argument "there is music and there is the "ON/OFF" button", eh? >>Idiots pasture
