Between this post and the succession of posts you've made in Movies, TV Shows and Books I find myself wondering if there's anything you do like.

Like I said, I do like AC, just not to the point of slavish worship. I dislike when hollywood ruins things by making them sappy/artificial/shallow/unimaginative/petty/boring, as they often do, especially when converting great literature to film. On the other hand, my ever growing itunes library contains nearly 1800 albums comprising some 800 bands/musicians that I like quite a bit at the very least. I'm just a bit digruntled with the current state of much of hollywood and rabid fanboy-ism over bands that I don't quite understand the tremendous hype over. I'll try to keep my tirades to a minimum since, as you correctly pointed out, they've become a bit too frequent. On a related note, I do like Panda Bear. A lot. I saw him live and it was a fantastic show. Although he's become more popular now with Person Pitch, I feel like the few AC fans (or fans of the other bands mentioned in this thread) who haven't done so already should certainly check out both this album and earlier stuff (Young Prayer for example) and see him live if at all possible. Good stuff, that.
Johnny C:
I'm with you there, and in fact I feel like I like the band members' solo material more than I actually do their full-band records.
bells:
for some reason, i thought they were some kind of pop punk band or something so i held off actually listening to them for a while...that'll teach me to judge bands by their names! i saw them at splendour in the grass in aus last year, and i swear the guitarist's afro was smoking. f-ing awesome show, they got brian and nick from the yeah yeah yeahs up on stage with them for a finale freak-out on wolf like me. desperate youth struck me the most, i thinks still a personal favourite. its good to see such intrinsically intelligent music spreading so far. not that it doesn't deserve to.

So, does Cookie Mountain measure up to Young Liars?

Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: Young Liars EP is my favorite thing they've done. It's flawless. Return to Cookie Mountain has a few duff tracks. OK Calculator and Bloodthirsty Youth... never did much for me at all.
