I will agree that the cover art is boring and that Green Day fans keep passing the band on to their younger siblings when they are “over” them. But I will not agree that Animal Collective is advancing music in any tangible way.
If bands like Green Day are rehashing old genres, Animal Collective is rehashing the same album over and over until they can figure out what combination of loop pedal and drum machine beat is catchy enough to make people who live outside of the blogs care. (eg: “My Girls”)
