"People" is a pretty good example of what turns some off from Animal Collective. The whole song is just a repeating guitar line, a held chord, some squiggly percussion, and Avey Tare doing a little self-stim call-and-response, alternating "Yeah, ye-AH" with the equally profound "Yeah, YE-ah". Oh, and screaming "People!!!" at throat-shredding volume through a distortion pedal every few bars, followed by a banshee wail that echoes between the speakers via a crude delay. And that's about it. Add to this the usual speculation about the sincerity of a young pack of art-rockers based in Brooklyn, and it's not hard to imagine large swaths of indie music fans moving on to something else.
