iTunes Review
Self-assured, ambitious, and often ingenious, MGMT’s full-length debut is a densely layered, proudly psychedelic delight. The songs are loaded with alluring hooks and lyrical snippets that grab your attention, making them strong enough to stand up to the bold (mostly synthesized) aural choices made by producer Dave Fridmann (of Flaming Lips fame). On “Time to Pretend,” featured in the movie 21, the bright, grand sounds obscure the bleak, desperate lyrics, as if desperation is worth celebration. (And who’s to say it’s not?) The David Bowie influence is pronounced in spots, from the woozy, vaguely orchestral art-rock of “The Youth” to the ‘70s-style “plastic soul” of “Electric Feel” to the ‘80s-style dance electronics of “Kids.” On the spooky, wobbling, remarkable “The Handshake,” they intone, “We got the handshake under our tongue,” like some sort of cult leaders. Fridmann’s skillful touch, spot-on sequencing, and a distinctive MGMT sparkle help tie together these stylistic adventures. From Satanic-era Stones and T.Rex through Modest Mouse and the Lips, MGMT’s colorful debut is a dazzling trip through 40 years of psychedelic pop — with a deadpan delivery that can only be described as 21st century.
Customer Reviews
This band is going to be huge
A friend asked me to join her for this MGMT performance at a small venue in Denver called High Dive. I was not expecting to be impressed, I rarely am. I was not enjoying my night for the opening bands. When these guys took the stage, my mood immediately began to shift. A band that sounds almost like a throw back to the 70's but with a sound that is colmpletely fresh. Layers of beautiful melody and emotion. The ability to shift back and fourth from rock and a synth feel within the same song at points. Definitely not a one trick pony, with a great deal of experimentation as well within the electronic realm as well. I was freaking out by the end of the night, jumping all around in an intoxicated state. They will be big. Augustus Johnston
exploding into wonderfullness
Really really great. The sound is very well produced, extremely clean, and they have mastered many emotions from one song to the next. I can't wait to hear more, but I would beg the next album to be a bit more experimental, they could easily fall prey to commercialism and big money. It's just so perfect, no one will resist. Rock, pop, indie, disco! F#$% YEAH! ps I listen to this everyday, and have yet to get tired of it. that's saying a lot, I swear!
Can you dig it?
yes I can. This album was a beautiful surprise. From reviews I had no idea what to expect. High, whispy chorus' mixed with verses sung by what sounds like a young jagger make for an interesting mix when thrown into a soup of sounds that are not exactly dominated by any one particular instrument or limiting genre. If you're a fan of Animal Collective or Panda Bear, I highly reccommend this because the music is sometimes similar but much more listenable, or in other words not so demanding. This album feels good to listen to, it's so easy to enjoy it, but it may take some time. "Weekend Wars" welcomed me in from the indie/rock playlist of december and it took me until january to get the entire album, but it was easy to get warmed up with songs like "Electric Feel" and my personal favorite "Kids." At first one may want to write these guys off as another one of the new hip "electro-indie" bands but they are far too talented for dismissal. I can't stop listening to these guys and i'm betting you won't be able to either. Much more will be heard about MGMT (formerly known as "the management") throughout this year.
