“Merriweather Post Pavillion” is such a grand sweeping gesture of pure art, it must be heard on vinyl. Listening to mp3s of this record is like playing tennis with a wet rag. I’d almost expect Animal Collective to start flying pigs, crashing planes, and building walls in concert; this is their eighth album, and like another great eighth record “Dark Side of the Moon”, it not only defines their career, it is perhaps the most satisfying LP of Arty Rock of its time.

Great album. I also got tickets to their show when they play Stubbs. Should be awesome.
