You may not know it but Merriweather Post Pavillion has probably been one of the most anticipated albums of the century. Sure there will have been albums anticipated by more people, but not too many will have been anticipated quite as obsessively as Animal Collective’s...

This came straight in at number 13 on the Billboard chart.

That's pretty big for Animal Collective.

Yep someone didn't like it, that happens with everything in life. What's your point?

Sung Tongs tails off a little for me towards the end, but my god the first two thirds are amazing. Alt-folk at it's very best.

Was a program on BBC3 with Ralf Little and Carl Rice about two guys from Manchester starting a record label. The character Carl Rice played mentioned them once and so far that's the only time I've heard their name. It's pretty funny; bought the series off iTunes for a tenner.
