[@MaximumJoy]

when this album came out one media outlet in particular hated it and described it as "two beach boys songs playing at the same time", which I think sounds fantastic.

[@CP-hd5cj]

It's a tendency of music critics to criticize things their brains can't process, hence why music critics are often harsher on foreign music than domestic. The genius of AC is in the interplay of these complex noises, but if you can't process it, you're SOL.

This was the most voted album and I don't know why

@@universpro7741 of 2009, and its very good the more i listened to it. tbh i kinda hated it at first.

[@dannydorko7075]

@@zackzallie8735 I got it when it came out. liked it then, still like it now.

[@unplugged3415]

My english teacher in middleschool showed me Ac (i still look up to him to this day) and that was when i went on my journey to discover music that actually made me FEEL. I used to skate to this song all the time bombing hills and pushing forward. Everytime i hear it i think of the warm sun on my face and for a moment things seem okay

[@dansemacabre17]

I'm so sober right now. Man it's so trippy to know that I exist and to be here right now and to have complete control over what I say and do.

Heh!!! Yes

thats a very peculiar comment

3:07 panda's melody that kicks in there... Jeesh

[@trevorscholl2949]

Panda's melody that comes in at 3:07 is like finding god

[@PaulButtrill]

Sounds like a modern version of the Beach Boys. Brilliant!

[@m.a.6524]

yessss

[@TheReverantChoir]

is there a beach boys song similar to this one? cause i can't hear how it sounds alike

[@ryandavis2775]

+TheReverantChoir Check out the outro to Surf's Up or most of the Sunflower album ("All I Wanna Do" is a great track from that record)

[@Thegary-dm7bd]

The use of drum sticks in this song is so mesmerizing.

[@junkienurseable]

+Thegary3335 agreed. the use of guitar picks is also fascinating.

[@junkienurseable]

+Thegary3335 and the way they use keyboard keys: utterly mindblowing.

[@kingcole55]

This song makes me think of the fine line between obsession and a healthy attraction and every time it get's to the "need her" part I feel like he's gone over the line. Reminds me of Taxi Driver.

[@heysatan8]

This song makes me want to keep living. It gives me hope, realizing there are still real people in the world with their own minds and their own way of seeing things.

[@el910l]

it's about jerking off

[@brandonlawrence5851]

@@el910l nearly everything humans do for and to each other is stupid when you're intentionally reductionist. yeah, the song is about jerking off. sure. but it's also about the pull in one's mind between love and lust. putting your loved one above your own carnal desires.

[@alice-in-wonderland.1223]

This is one of my favourite songs on this album

[@samitpaudel7886]

[Chorus 1] I really want to do just what my body wants to I really want to do just what my body needs to If I could just hold all the thoughts in my head and just keep them for you I really want to show to my girl that I want her If I could just purge all the urges that I have and keep them for you I really want to show to my girl that I need her I keep it locked right now [Break] Need her [Chorus 2] I wanna do just what my body needs to I wanna do just what my body needs to I wanna show to my girl that I need her I wanna show to my girl that I need her So I used my mind And I used my hand It was what I want to do I really don't know what to do if my body should want to What I want

[@travisdunsmuir806]

this is the best song about crankin' it

[@StealOfApproval]

IDK about you man but I tripped to every song on Merriweather and it was one of the best days of my life. To each their own.

[@simonstrash]

I like probably so many other people had the same experience as you did seven years later. How wonderful!

[@supersaumon1631]

Musical perfection for the horny hours spent with your gorgeous suburbian ballerina neighbour in the peak of languid summertime. Still remaining one of the best from AC.

[@yaaancey]

I think Animal Collective has one of the most unique and amazing singing harmonies out of all bands... all of them sing together, sometimes saying completely different things and oftentimes just random phrases, but it all flows together in an unbelievably euphoric sound.

[@thelargge]

There's nothing in this world quite like Animal Collective. Feels, Strawberry Jam and MPP are just 3 albums that capture all range of emotions and sensations like no one done before. Yes, I think is fair to say they reinvented music. Thank you Animal Collective for making my life more and more beautiful.

[@palbo4]

i'm so sober right now guys, and this sounds amazinggggg oh my gosh...

[@ravenbrite]

sounds like Beach Boys influence in the chorus... love it!

[@superfamous8296]

My artistic vision enhanced 10 fold after I heard this song... i can draw again!

[@dougsmith7908]

Timeless and epic American Avante Gaurd music

[@seafoamren]

this song takes me to the best places

[@spirkan]

Easily in my top 3 AnCo songs, along with Alvin Row and For Reverend Green, such a great song on a good album by an amazing band

[@CameronFB]

For Reverend Green is such an incredible song. Listened to it for the first time on a road trip with friends and have continued to repeat it constantly ever since 😃

[@eavesdropswhispers2598]

+BurstingFlares why good? Isn't it just similar to yours? Those 3 are definitely not in my top 3, though Guys Eyes does come close because the use of overlapping vocals works stunningly well and the transitions do really create new vibes within the song.

[@eavesdropswhispers2598]

***** it's okay:) I just don't want the other songs top feel left out:p

[@birdablaze]

Reverend Green is sooo good. It’s such a sing a long too. My bff at the time that album came out was really into them too and we would scream sing that song.

[@robertbeckerbecker1354]

Great album*...

[@ashbisto]

no it isn't the song develops he is differentiating his wants from his needs. early he states that he wants to do what his body wants to. yet he states later he wants to show his girl that he needs her

[@OhArmykh]

I would give everything for Noah Lennox ♥

[@JoeBrownRules]

Every Anico song has love in it. There is love in the notes and in the spirit of the fans.

[@internetuser715]

This song describes the comfort and confusion of life simultaneously. It's gives me a fearless joy, it makes me joyfully afraid of all that comes in this state of being. Peace!

[@beachcomber4141]

I love this

[@pclongboarder]

Woo! Best song about bating ever!

[@happyparallel]

But the best part doesn't even come until after the "need her" part!

[@OlderWaiter]

jesus, this is one of my favorite songs of all time.

[@charliez077]

one of the best songs on the album... well, there's about 8 of them though:)

Dear god I love this song. I know this isn't the general opinion of ANCO fans, but I think this is their masterpiece. In particular, the way they bring back in the A part at 2:33 is phenomenal.

@Outerspacehaze that's definitely not Avey's sister, her name is Abby Portner and she looks nothing like that lol

[@happyparallel]

I almost want to disregard all comments like the one you called out for several reasons, one of them being that Animal Collective tends to be too noisy to listen to on psychedelic drugs. There is beautiful artistry here, and you do not need drugs to appreciate it. Chances are, anyone who's ever actually tripped would know that Animal Collective is one of the most confusing/frustrating bands to listen to while tripping. Panda Bear's Tomboy, however...

[@chrisgeorge619]

I know this is an old ass comment but I think it really just depends on the person. MPP and Feels especially are great tripping albums

[@lowlightstavern]

I love this album so much it has been on repeat in my mind for the last year now. I think I need some Valium.

[@juneshoe]

Is this song about Rosemary's Baby?

[@Bandstand]

+Juni Xu Wow, that's a deep cut. Guys Eyes are normal! Great movie.

@new1heights cory was skating the sand gaps one day and they happened to be there filming for the vid and boom ck1 + animal collective haha

[@TheDemonsunleashed]

would this be polyphonic?

[@moscamuerta]

Maybe homophony with polyphonic texture on the vocals

[@alyosha917]

Yes. Polyphonic just means at least 3 notes playing at once.

[@Beardwhip]

The most popular song about masturbation ever.

these lyrics are so sexy

[@stockwto]

Sounds heavily inspired by "All I Wanna Do" by the Beach Boys.

@cousins851 ahaha is it really? b/c thats what i thought too...

[@IrkenAlchemist]

Is that Angel at 0:43?

[@JGSlevin]

@galactyk Your conclusion is somewhat flawed. Pitchfork stated the obvious. This is one of the best albums of all time by the best band of this generation. Not very hard to do what they did. As for hipsters, the movement is almost completely dead. Hard to have a movement based on originality when there are so many people that qualify as a stereotypical hipster. When "being a hipster" became cool, it died because those people didn't get the point of the movement they were trying to identify with.

[@redcommando1]

ok folks, don't slate me but i don't get this band. I have tried, GOD have I tried. is it just hype? do the sheep lead the way and everybody else follows. Their like a faster version of the Beach Boys forty years on, wow! what evolution. before people start with the go back to pop shit, i detest pop! my musical taste is quite eclectic and I tried with this band but gosh are they over rated and quite squeaky. just for hipsters and people who read to much pitchfork.

@Ro7772155 Did you know that people all over the world laugh at how arrogant and pretentious designers are when they shit like that?

[@fadoodle100]

@qiqimaster Well I'm sorry, I'm just checking out these guys' songs to see if their album is worthy of buying, which it is so far. My brother introduced me to Animal Collective, and if they would just sell Merriwether Post Pavilion at Target instead of that Katy Perry crap, I would've had that album a long time ago. And after all I'm only 12 with only 5 albums so far... I was just asking.
