Merriweather Post PavilionBy: Animal collective

Rating: It was amazing!
"Merriweather Post Pavilion" is quite possibly animal collective's most depressing and personal album to date, though the album is also their most dance inducing. Every track will make you want to get up and dance at some point.
If you are a already a fan of animal collective, the album may be off-putting at first. It's a little slower, and conventional than their previous efforts. Especially when compared to their album before this, "Strawberry Jam" (my personal favorite of theirs). "Merriweather" relies more so on the interplay of avey tare's (dave portner) and panda bear's (noah lennox) voices than anything else. Every track has both of them singing at one point.
Even though this album is very personal, it's a lot less emotional than their other albums. Avey tare never screams in any of these songs. Which for most will be a plus, but it is a missed attribute to their songs.
In the end, "Merriweather Post Pavillion" is one of the best albums I've ever heard, critics are even already calling it the album of 2009, and of the decade.
