Animal Collective - Bank of America Pavilion

I'm not gonna beat around the bush here folks. This album is a fucking mess. Everything about it. From the stupid music that doesn't make any sense to the stupid album art that looks like a 300x300 pixel piece of wallpaper that you would find on the bedroom walls of a drug-smoking hippie. But this is about the music, so I will talk about that.

The songs mostly consist of synthesizers beeping and booping and all that gay shit for what seems like forever. The singers, Tex Avery and Koala Bear have nice voices, but all they really do is sing the same thing over and over and over and over again over the beeping and booping. It is gay and stupid and I do not like it at all.

The biggest problem I had with this album, however, is not how bad the music itself is. No, it was the worst lyric I have ever heard in my entire life. From the song "My Girls":

"I don't mean to seem like I care about material things like a social status/I just want four walls and adobe slats for my girls" - Koala Bear

What the fuck. A social status is not a material thing at all. This guy is dumb. He should go back and finish high school or something (and then get a real job, because music is clearly not his thing).

Anyway, there are some songs that are kind of alright, like "Also Frightened" which sounds kind of like they're covering a Beach Boys or Beatles song or some shit, but then just looped one line for the entire song and cut out the rest. I am listening to this song, and it is like:

"No one should call you a dreamer, no one should call you a dreamer, no one should call you a dreamer, no one should call you a dreamer, no one should call you a dreamer, no one should call you a dreamer, no one should call you a dreamer, no one should call you a dreamer, no one should call you a dreamer, no one should call you a dreamer"

I thought the mp3 was broken or something, but when I got up to change the song after listening to the same line for 10 minutes, the song finally ended. Every single song on this album is completely ruined by the fact that the people making them are retarded and do not know how to write songs that do not have the same exact thing repeated for long periods of time.

Score:
1.4/10
