The world right now is going Animal Collective crazy, as the peculiar magic eye artwork on their new album 'Merriweather Post Pavilion' lures the record-buying public into parting with their hard-earned in their droves. Indeed, in the time it took to drink a brew in Rough Trade East this Monday, The Quietus noticed four wide-eyed youths in Plimsolls leaving the shop in a trance, clutching their vinyl copies in trembling fingers.

AS well as the glowing track-by-track preview we printed last year, Taylor Parkes has written a full review that urges caution in the face of the blanket praise with which MPP is currently being greeted:
