deep down in the forest..., 4 Oct 2003
This is mindblowing stuff! It sounds like some guys are driving out out some demons deep down in the forest. Defenitly one of the discoveries of this year. I admit, it's a little tough getting through it the first time, but it gets easier and better and richer wich ech spin you give it. But these guys are really weird...

A Staggering Wild Beast, 12 Oct 2006
Dear fan of Here Comes The Indian,
I am writing this because I have recently fully realised the beauty, majesty, and utter brilliance of Here Comes The Indian!!
I've been going through a bit of an Animal Collective phase over the last week or two and last night i was listening to here comes the indian, and it all made sense! I have always put it on occasionally cause it's such a twisted sonic experience, but i never really felt like it had penetrated into something deeper...
Now, almost two years after obtaining it i have finally realised how completely peculiar, primal, and pure it is...
I remembered that you were a big fan and for a long time wondered why you gave it so much more attention than sung tongs or any of their other stuff...
so now i understand... its just amazing that an album that sounds so deeply rooted in nature, fauna, and tribalism can also sound so unique and modern... it is a strange and vast beast that has hibernated for a long time in my mind, but has now awoken to bear its teeth and stamp its feet..
and i love it.

Mediocre atonal cacophony, 17 Oct 2005
By A Customer
I have not experienced anything this pretentious in a long time. I had the misfortune of seeing them play live (as a supporting act) and I am sorry to say it did not add anything to my appreciation. Seriously, I am all for being 'challenged' by the music I listen to and am willing to give a second or even third chance to things that are not immediately accessible. If your idea of good music is a student-type hunched over large drum, shouting what I suppose to be an expression of the 'primal animal within' (but is actually so ineffectual that it sounds closer to a child having a tantrum), then buy this album by all means. With no sense of rhythm or even semi-coherent structure, this comes across as some kind of student prank to see how many people they can dupe into appreciating their magnum opus of self-satisfying pap. If only they were so knowing as to smirk at themselves, you only need look at their faces to see that despite the 'kooky' vibe they try to give off, they are in fact painfully serious. If you can imagine the cringe-factor of a school band with manson-style hair trying to do an angsty power-ballad then you'll have some idea of how I feel about the Animal Collective.
