...Chores” tumbles over itself so quickly as to leave you breathless by the end, “#1” gives in entirely to electronic elements, and album-closer “Derek” revisits the band’s early obsession with acoustic folk. At the core of all this schizophrenic songwriting, however, is Animal Collective’s strongest diptych yet—two songs, thirteen minutes all together, and the closest thing to a mission statement by the band. They’ve always been aware that song pairs can unlock synergistic power?...
...Well Good Mornin’ Da, and I’m in Jail The Tossers—Irish folk with guitars and stuff—are bringing some Chicago style to Allston tonight.

That's four careers in four years: more public-persona reinventions than Madonna could manage, and surely enough for four actors to chew...
...cages of hotel rooms, cars and private soirées in between gigs - and the drug use that is part of that routine. I'm Not There is more beguiled by this phase of Dylan's career than I am, and gets repetitious and draggy here, like some long folk ballad in its seventh or eighth verse...
