Well, I finally gave in and bought 'Oracular Spectacular'.
And it isn't as good as I thought it would be, which is a shame.
There still young though and I think they could make a really good album :D

yeah
i dont wanna like 'em, but against my better judgment i kinda do.
It's brilliant
Play it more.
You will see.
^^^
Twentynine knows the score with MGMT.
i think
with a few listens you will love it
Going to the gig on Tuesday?
No. TTTLY SKINT.
I'll watch them both times at Glasto though no doubt.
aw :(
they are excellent
kids is one of my current favorite tunes! woowoo
I'm not a fan of Kids.
In fact its one of the only ones I bother skipping :(
They are a bit hit n miss
but the potential is clear with tunes such as Kids being potential singles of the year
Going to the gig on Monday?
Nahhhh
ATP followed by Great Escape has done my liver and wallet no favours
aw :(
Give me money and a stomach pump and im in lol
The
album does kinda feel... soulless.
*shrugs* >_<
album is average..
live they are a terrible, sludgey bore fest.
YEASAYER > MGMT
.
^^
this
I felt the same at first.
I then revisited the album the other day and I'm really liking it. Definitely a grower.
i actually really like this album
a lot.
i'm into it
don't know if it's got any staying power (after some more listens i'm sure i'll get bored of it...) but at the moment i actually really like the album, kids is awesome! as are the next 3 songs following it...
