EricCApr 17, 2007What an awesome album. Easily rivals anything he or Animal Collective has ever done. If you have a hard time swallowing experimental indie rock, then don't waste your time. But it's too bad you can't appreciate it, because this really is amazing. It's only flaw is that you're never gonna sing along. Sometimes it sounds like he's singing backwards.

Busted...May 17, 2007I wonder how this album would sound stoned...probably pretty spectacular. Might even be overwhelming. Panda bear has a pretty dense soundscape; with every listen i notice something more I might try getting stoned again, but until then I stand by my rating...not quite perfection.

EdM.Sep 15, 2007Easily my favorite album of 2007. Sure you don't have to listen to critics, but sometimes I suppose they're right. Really, really cool Beach Boys-esque psychadelia.

BethanyL.Feb 18, 2008I've tried, I really have, but I just don't get it. I give it an above average based on the forward thinkingness of Noah and the meditative aspects of the album. But it just sounds like the echo effect/reverb is giving it the unity and gorgeousness! everyone speaks of. It isn't bad but I don't get the hype. A bit boring for me.

FlubbyWApr 16, 2009I'm not a huge AC fan so I'm not sure what actually made me come to listen this album in the first place, but I'm glad I did ~ it's pure genius!

Sep 5, 2012Its been more than 5 years and I still enjoy listening to this album as much as I did when I first heard it. The collection of sounds, textures, and samples create a world I never want to leave.

His careful attention to detail and masterful use of vocal harmonies are unparalleled in modern indie rock.

Paste MagazineIt's as lucid a marriage of the eneffably strange and crayon-bright catchy as 2007 is likely to see. [Apr 2007, p.58]
