    Besides novelty and strangeness, I don't anything redeemable here. A lack of melody and music; the instrumental playing is weak and unimaginative. Maybe I don't do enough drugs. Try Akron/Family for a talented version.

    I absolutely despise these two and everything they stand for. Pretentious art creeps. Go do your heroin away from my eardrums.

    While some may scoff at the gentler side of the Animal Collective (especially when contrasted with the fully electric assault of last year's studio release), Sung Tongs easily stands alone as a crowning achievement in their eclectic discography, one that finds the group fully in control of their musical prowess and all the better for it.

    Stunning and dizzying, Sung Tongs’ strangeness will spin around your head for months to come.

    As simple as the instrumentation is on the album... they use it to maximum effect. [#11, p.98]
