His voice is excellent - it conveys the emotional impact of the rhythm and harmonies, which is what AC is all about. It's tribal in that the sound is meant to be acted on and SCREAMED.
@423likeajewel LSD actually makes you want to dance. That's how we got freeform dancing when people were dancing to psychedelic music in the 60's. Check out Pink Floyd's early videos.
this set was SO SHORT!! i was literally just starting to forget i was surrounded by people and then the music stopped and everyone started moving like cattle over to see portishead.. i felt like i was trapped in a nightmare.. prince played for hours and i hallucinated a lot of cars driving at me as i drove home the next morning without sleep. thanks adderal.
Go see them live. This sounds not that good, I admit that, but really, live it's better. This song should be with hard beats, as they do live. Also, don't forget this song was still in its demo-phase back then. :)
i've seen them live twice and their amazing. i think it's just the sound in this vid that sucks :// and as i heard they no longer "drop" anything before gigs :)
It's just this performance... I listed to a few other live ones and those are just fine, I like listening to them just as much as the studio version. But let's be honest... this one at Coachella... really quite bad. I love Animal Collective and I am a diehard fan of them, but let's face it....
@valinicious7 Have you seen them live or are you just saying that from watching this video? I assure you, they are amazing live.
And I highly doubt they are on any drugs. Why? Well first of all they stated they don't drop acid anymore and second of all, putting on a show while on acid or rolling is very stupid. Especially since they are so popular now.
this is more of a dissapointment than the redskins right now jesus! i didnt think a band that sounded so good on an ipod could sound this bad live. but they proved me wrong
Crappy quality? Isn't this the official footage from Coachella? Regardless, none of the other videos of Animal Collective playing live look like much fun either.
agreed i havent had the chance to see them live but by their videos, you can tell they really get into their music, and thats what its all about, digging the tunes and the band
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
what kind of drugs is he on. I hate the way he's singing here,he sings like a moron, I prefer his singing in the album. Some of the way he's singing it is cool, but it doesn't make up for him sounding out of sync overall.
more like seizure...excellent big ball of light with its cells and colors and shit flashed on it...you didnt even have to watch them play just watch the ball and you've got it.
