All the buzz surrounding this album has been worth the wait, Animal Collective's ninth record "Merriweather Post Pavilion" is so far the best of 2009. It has all the things critics look for, cohesiveness, catchy hooks, and musical/lyrical depth, and more.
One of the great things about 'Merriweather,' is that you don't have to be a huge AC fan to appreciate it. The songs as times remind me of The Beatles when they experimented with their sound, as they found a way to blend pop with rock and not loose any real artistic integrity.
However, this is NOT for closed minded people or mainstream radio, you almost have to let yourself go and just relax. This is a record for people who enjoy this style of music, if you like experimental alternative indie rock, then you'll probably want to pick this one up.
5 out of 5 stars.
Best Songs: In The Flowers, My Girls, Bluish, Brother Sport
