"why the AC comparison?... Dirty Projectors definitely display much greater musicianship on this album than AC does on MPP" did you know that there are other Animal Collective albums than MPP

I didn't dig the vocal melodies at first, but I love this album now. So much.

why the AC comparison?... Dirty Projectors definitely display much greater musicianship on this album than AC does on MPP, i mean, DP play actual instruments, for one. The ebb and flow strings on Two Doves, the cascading drums on Fluorescent Half Dome (reminds me of the collapsing/stuttering drums on Radiohead's "Videotape"), the patient buildup of Useful Chamber up to the blistering back-half, oh, and the NON-MELODYNE (look it up) VOCAL HARMONIES. AC used the Melodyne software program to hit those high notes and tighten the harmonies on Merriweather, i.e. they couldn't actually sing those notes. I love AC all the same but, DP owns them in the musicianship contest

at first listen, it does seem to try too much to be different and "hip", not sounding as natural as...say... Animal Collective. But I'll give it a second shot, right after.
