MGMT

Post by tk »

One of my favorite "new" bands.

Oracular was fun and poppy, a little psychedelic at times, but man did they really take their approach up a few notches on Congratulations. Which is one of my favorite albums of the last decade.

Flipping through the self titled LP, haven't given it a straight listen yet.can wait though.

I'd say their three big hits "Electric Feel", "Kids", & "Time to Pretend" (especially this one) helped define my last two years of college in Milwaukee. Mainly because those songs were played the most in our house. So this band will always stay with me.

But I have not heard any other material. :?

Oh guy, get Congratulations. It's a great psych/pop album. Lots of layers. To me it's just a beautiful album.

"Kids" makes me want to stab myself in both ears with a sharp pencil.

Other than, people tell me they are good.

Really enjoyed 'Oracular' all those years ago. Will have to dig deeper.

Really? I've read so many reviews of their live show as being disappointing.
