just listening back to some old Animal Collective in anticipation of their upcoming album, and realised they probably had my favourite 3 album run ever (Feels > Strawberry Jam > Merriweather)

the only other ones that i can think of that come close are the Bright Eyes (F&Ms > Lifted > Wide Awake) and Spiritualized (LGMs > Ladies and Gents > Let it come down)

now tell me yours
