MGMT's "Congratulations"#1

Posted: 4/15/10 at 9:59pm

I listened to it twice through today. The fist time through I thought, "This is good." It started over again and I thought, "Oh my emmin-effin mutha of gawd, this is a mastuhpiece." Cuz that's the accent the excited version of the voice in my head uses.

"Congratulations" makes me want to go to London, take mushrooms, and go see "Hair."

30 second soundclips do nothing to convey the aural joy contained in the album, which has to be heard in its entirety, through proper speakers.

I heard it for the first time on Friday and we have literally played ALL weekend. It is brilliant, psychedelic, and sticky-gooey delicious.

These guys are amazing.

Fave songs:
It's Working
Brian Eno
and all 12 glorious minutes of Siberian Breaks

But really, there's not a bad song on it.

Run and get this album!

"Siberian Breaks" is transplendent.

Definitely late to the MGMT party, but they are pretty awesome.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

They were on SNL last night. They were OK, I think the "Brian Eno" song was the second one(?). I didn't care for the crazy ending but liked the song.

Their music makes me dizzy. Does that mean that I get it or no?

I'm going to give it some more listens, but as of yet it hasn't grabbed me like Oracular Spectacular did. Love Brian Eno and Siberian Breaks, though.
