    Strawberry Jam, 2007's strongest album so far.
  2. Drowned In Sound
    100
    'Cuckoo Cuckoo' is another moment in which Animal Collective reach a new level of compositional mastery and broaden their territory.
  3. Lost At Sea
    60
    The Collective's aspirations come off as bland and blurry, as if aspiration alone was the sole goal for this jam, spread out over three quarters of an hour.

    This is the album I like the most from Animal Collective. Every song, is so damn good. I have to listen the the whole album every time because the songs connect so well and create such a great atmosphere and feel to it. I love love love this band and hope they can stay together for a long time.… Expand

    This is passing for music these days? Hipsters will eat up anything if an obscure band shits it out.
