Animal Collective- Feels (2005)

Animal Collective is a band that frustrates me. They have quite a few songs that I love, and a lot of songs that I absolutely hate. Their inconsistency is especially obnoxious because I feel like it could easily be avoided. The Animal Collective songs that I tend to like are the ones that are actual pop songs, as opposed to the ones that are unfocused, meandering, 'experimental', etc. They could be a great band if they put the same amount of focus and effort into all of their songs that they put into the best of their songs. Feels has more of these focused pop songs than any of their other albums. Or at least, it has more of the pop songs that I like (I usually don't like electronic music, so a lot of Strawberry Jam and Merriweather Post Pavillion is boring to me, regardless of how focused the songs are).
