MGMT: Congratulations



MGMT plan to release their follow-up album to their extremely successful debut Oracular Spectacular on April 13th 2010. They are streaming the entire album for free on their website for anyone to listen to. I couldn't decide if I hated it or loved it at first. Like their debut album the music is not easily accessible, but if you give it a chance, you may love it. I can now say I love this album even more than the first. If it were not for a self imposed album buying ban I would buy the vinyl version the day it comes out. There is a Pink Floyd (Dark Side of the Moon-ish), Surf Rock, CCR, psychedelic Beatles feel to much of the album. The album's definitely influenced by 60's and 70's psychedelic music. There are no catchy "Time to Pretend" or "Kids" type songs, which may in turn make them lose some fans. However, they don't seem to be the type of band to care.
