That's the rating Pitchfork is giving Animal Collective's latest album Merriweather Post Pavillion.
While MPP isn't technically released until tomorrow, I happened to spot it on sale over the weekend at Princeton Record Exchange, which just happens to be the best record store in all of New Jersey. You should have seen the college kids squealing over it. God bless independent music shops for totally disregarding proper release dates!

If you look really closely you can see a 9.6 in the cover art

seeing those Freshmen (or high school) girls jump up and down with glee over the Animal Collective album filled my heart with joy and hope that we can overcome the terrible music that they play on the radio.
What do you think? Is it up there with Feels?
danny, I've only heard about half of the album so I can't judge the album as a whole, but there are DEFINITELY some tracks that rank up there with the material on Feels. It's a bit more layered and electronic-y but songs like "Lion in a Coma" and "My Girls" are amazing - you can stream the latter one here: http://www.myspace.com/animalcollectivetheband
