I may do re-reviews every now and then. This especially pertains to my of Montreal reviews, which I find pretty outdated and wordy. Feel free to check them out, though! Even though I consider them old, maybe you guys can see the quality within them.

After all, 'Merriweather Post Pavilion' is the figurehead of the rise of neo-psychedelia in the 2000s, and it has influenced a bunch of other year-defining albums, such as Candy Claws's 'Ceres & Calypso in the Deep Time'. Moreover, it's renowned by many Animal Collective fans, as it is the most famous and (probably) most well-liked album in the AC ... read more
