Sep 10, 2012This album is going on a decade in age and it's one of the epitomes of the limits that can be done with the structure of sound. When I am in the mood for it, there is nothing that can take it's place. I'm in love with the album.

GiuliaAug 9, 2007To me, a record that can create the most charming atmospheres you can dream, natural and post modern, everything. It's wonderful.

[Anonymous]Mar 4, 2007Starts out great, but the second half kind of loses it, with the exception of "We Tigers". Still a great album, but get Feels. It's much better.

pookiebearsFeb 14, 2007To give this record a 2 shows utter contempt for good music. Not as good as Feels, but still an incredible, life-affirming record. Go get it.

TonyFJul 13, 2006my favorite collective album, blew me away when i first heard it and still gets me going whenever I put it on. It's truly unique and a step forward for music experimentation.

DustinbOct 26, 2005In the age of MP3s and playlists, I feel it is justifiable to rate an album based only on its good tracks. Buy the album. Immediately delete tracks 3, 7, 8, 10, 11, and 12. You are left with the best, most fun, and certainly the most innovative 6 songs released in 2004.

ElliottSep 3, 2005I just have to say that I sincerely love ALL 12 minutes of "Visiting Friends." With headphones on, it gives me the chills...yes, for 12 minutes. I do think the last three songs fail to quite match up to the rest of the album, but this is a winner for sure. One of the best of 2004, without a doubt.

NickAug 30, 2005Leaf House may be the best song ever written. Beside that this album evokes all that I love from music. Wholly unique and completely infactuating.

RyanCFeb 22, 2005The thing is, if 'Who could win a rabbit' was played on the streets just once a day, there would be world peace and eternal love and happiness. I fully believe there is life here that is essential to all of us

PaulJan 13, 2005At first, the weirdness of this album made me not like it, but something about this album makes me want to listen to it over and over. I can't have it out of my CD player for more than a day before the urge to listen to it comes again. Very innovative music. It's a cross between folk, indie, electronic with a definite flare for the unusual...

JojoDec 1, 2004I give it a 10 based solely in relation to other 2004 releases. This is the album of the year, for sure.

MarkOOct 15, 2004Could be the best album of the year. Even the seemingly less focused parts deserve praise upon repeated listenings. FYI - they have an incredible live show you gotta see!

JMJul 15, 2004Animal Collective have made a terrific album with 'Sung Tongs'. It definitely has hooks, but isn't for your average listener who would rather hear mundane sounds and predictability. In other words, this is a great record if you are open to original ways of exploring old ideas.

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.

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