mberan42:
So I recently got into Animal Collective. They're pretty good. Quirky and odd, but enjoyable. I own Here Comes the Indian, Sung Tongs and Feels. They're all fun to listen to.

I went to see them live this past Saturday in Chicago, and was utterly, utterly disappointed. While I own three of their albums and consider myself familiar with all three, I recognized four songs they played. Seemed to me that it was 15 minutes of noise and shouting, 4 minutes of a song I knew, 15 minutes of noise and shouting, 4 minutes of a song I knew... The whole show was like that. I left before they were finished playing, I was so disappointed.

Anyone else experienced this? (Anyone else go to the show in Chicago? The 10.30p show.) I just want to hear (read) others' thoughts and opinions.

Cheers.

sjbrot:
I think their live show fits in with the whole tribal nature of some of their music. What I was really disapointed by was one of the opening acts, BARR, who will always be the saddest spoken word act in the world. When he tried to start fights with the audience, it was just too much.

Mikendher:
It's very hard to reproduce that kind of sound, I would think. I haven't seen them though, so I can't comment really.

jcknbl:
I'm planning to go when they come here in a month or so. Maybe I should reconsider...

Felix:
I don't know them that much, but I own Feels, and it is really great. I saw them live last week (BARR should turn his name into BADD) and it was cool. I didn't recognize any of their song though. I left before the end, because I was fucking tired from my day and from standing up all along. Getting out of an indie crowd is one of the hardest thing I've done. At least, you can push punks in the pit to make your way. Indies are glued and nailed and drown in concrete.

In overall, I really enjoy Animal Collective. I like weirdos.
