But this is their best record by a mile, and really the one that explains this band to me. I'm sure it will do the same for many people (though I'm sure there are others who'll still find them various degrees of irritating). I think the whole thing is pretty amazing, but "Also Frightened," "Summertime Clothes" and "No More Running" are current highlights. I think those songs are about as marvelous as psychedelic pop ever gets. Highlights not just of next year, but of the decade.
Jesus Matt! Are you trying to make an Animal Collective fan out of me? I know you're not prone to hyperbole so you got my attention on this one.
