The third solo album from Animal Collective's Noah Lennox (aka Panda Bear) is completely unlike its predecessor, as it is both upbeat and electronic, sounding like a spacey, 21st century Beach Boys album.

This is not a 'love it or hate it' album; it's a 'love it or don't get it' one. It is very cohesive, never self-indulgent, and just a joy to listen to. Thank you, Panda Bear.
Adam P. gave it a9:
Amazing album. Love the reverb, vocal harmonies, and upbeat guitars.
Simon W gave it a7:
Pleasant enough.

Good. Very good, at times. But not as amazing as many would claim, nor as horrid, either. Looking at these reviews, most people give the album a 9 or a 10, or they give it a ridiculously low score of a 1 or a 2. None are correct. Person Pitch, essentially, is 3 or 4 really good tracks sandwiched by a few forgetful ones. The album is, additionally, at times way too saccharine. They are all pleasant. But "pleasant" does not an amazing album make. Yes, it is hyped. And yes, you earn instant indy cred by name-dropping Noah Lennox. Coincidentally, the best tracks on the album were already released on various EPs. Buy it for tracks like “Comfy in Nautica,” “Take Pills,” “Good Girl/Carrots” and, especially, “Bros.” The rest are more or less forgettable. Four good tracks out of seven. Bandwagoners, you are wrong: This is not flawless. Naysayers, you are wrong, too: There is plenty to enjoy here; it is not the waste of time you claim. To the uninitiated: Just keep in mind what you’re getting into and don’t let behavioral bias in either direction sway your opinion. But, stay open, stay interested and give it a shot.

Best Album of 07 hands down. A masterpiece. This hasn't left my ipod since the day I got it. And Neil C, I'll be back in 3 years for my money.
Alex R gave it a10:
I think just like the National's Alligator and Boxer, this album is a grower. At first, I walked in behind the hype of high critical outlets. I was left disappointed, but recently, I decided to listen to it as a record and not as a number. The result was a pleasant, poppy yet distant record. The cheer from album seller "Bros" continues throughout the record. And those with the low ratings: state your reasons for your score instead of trying to judge the people reviewing the record. It's called an opinion, grow up.
J. K. gave it an8:
If The Beach Boys had ran unabashedly into the realm of psychedelics and dropped their surf boards for hang gliders, this is probably what you would have heard. Which is pretty funny, considering this is four decades after the fact. It's almost like a looking glass nostalgic for those simpler musical days of beaches and melodies which were themselves nostalgic for those simpler days of beaches and young love. Light hearted and groovy and also lot of fun, this is definitely one of the best albums of the year.
