None of the teens I know have heard of Animal Collective. Nor would they like them.
But I know plenty of 30 somethings who love the band. I disagree with them, and you've pretty much summed up my position here. Except I never really liked Sung Tongs, either. I've tried to get into all their stuff. You know, because that's your hipster duty. But I can't do it.
I think I liked this more than you, sir. To mine ears it actually felt less calculated and pretentious than the original, which badly needed to have some air let out. I think getting Henry Rollins and Peaches involved lightened things up a bit and signaled the intentions of the project.
I do agree it was unnecessary. But then, most music unnecessary.

Bottom line: Dave Thomas (Wendy's)
I'm afraid my answer is also Bitte Orca.
2nd - Them Crooked Vultures
3rd - Surfer Blood's Astrocoast (with thanks to Chris Ryan for bringing them to my attention).
It's really too bad Airborne Toxic Event isn't one of the choices.
