    Beautiful, trippy, warm, eccentric and lovely. All rolled into one piece of pop perfection. A better album you will unlikely hear this year.

    Best Animal Collective group or solo work since "Here Comes an Indian".

    Definitely the best of 07 so far, I just get such a positive feeling when I listen to this album. Too bad about the AMG review though...

    This is a very strong and delightful record. If you like animal collective, definately pick this up. If you don't like or never heard of AC, still give this a try. It's a lot more accessible, but not mainstream or commercial, than his other work. By the way, the Beach Boy comparisons are waaaay over exaggerated.

It has lush harmonies, but the Beach Boy camparisons are really uncalled for. Listen to this twice before making a decision. Expand

    This record alone could get me through a year's worth of boring music. Just what a boy needs who can't wait for warmer weather...thank you panda bear. I practically get a tan just listening to it! Can't wait to see what we get with the new animal collective record!

    This will be a tough one to top this year! It's bursting at the seems with creativity and almost overwhelmingly joyful, something that's missing in much of today's music. Person Pitch should make Noah Lennox a household name, and it just might make top 10 for the decade!

    Playful, harmonic, and busting with positive energy, this is, quite simply, the best album I've heard in 2007. Why listen to anything else?!

    the best stuff here was previously available elsewhere and somewhat over-shadows the rest of the album, but I'll be damned if "Bros" and "Comfy in Nautica" are anything short of amazing...

    Magical. [Apr 2007, p.114]
  2. His careful attention to detail and masterful use of vocal harmonies are unparalleled in modern indie rock.

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