THe new MGMT album's terrible. (now i think its amazing)

#12372901 - 04/11/10 03:43 PM (16 years, 7 months ago)

i got into them with their last album, but this new oone is extremely dissapointing.
pretty much the only 'popular' band that i enjoyed, and theve turned to shit.
its the first album i've paid for in 6 months, even pre-ordered it. :facepalm:

:facepalm:

anyonw else heard it/like it/ hate it ??

I've always found them extremely hit or miss.

I initially assume that every album that ever comes out is complete garbage, that way I am pleasantly surprised when I find out that it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

same here,i like all but 3 songs from there last album, and i really expected this one to be better.#
i really hate 'kids' and 'time to pretend' from the last album, though.
i mean a few of these songs are good, but the rest is :sad:

:sad:

guess it teaches me not to listen to people when they havent even heard the album either.

yeah it seems pretty unoriginal

it just feels so overly influenced by past musicians... although theres 2 songs named after people and maybe thats what the album is about... their influences.

anyways seems more cohesive i don't think its that bad.

I like it a lot better.

Much more of an album than a "hit singles" collection of dance pop.

Not my favorite album or anything, but still.

I agree, but i never liked the singles they brought out, i liked the other songs.

its wierd, i feel as though the music from them that i like, is from a completely different band.
and i feel as though i should say i dont like MGMT, because i pretty much know that the person asking only likes the 'pop singles' songs that they made.
its probably wrong to assume that, but :shrug:

:shrug:

but i think it does feel more like a whole album, i was just expecting it to be more of what i liked in there other stuff.

but now i've just confused myself! :weirdeyes:

but i do agree with what ph34rS said in the other thread :

'A significant step down from Oracular Spectacular, but still better than 95% of stuff being released today. Great band.'

but i'd probably move the % to around 80/

I have to disagree with the statement. Even in their own genre (Psychedelic Indie?) there are much better bands like Grizzly Bear, Broken Social Scene, Black Moth Super Rainbow etc...

man, i love broken social scene, and i would rate them above MGMT, but most of the mainstream stuff is terrible.

those bands would be in the 20 % of all music i think is good.

should have never made this thread :syringe:
