4 out of 5 stars unexpected   September 25, 2008
I bought this album off the back of a couple of songs I'd heard here and there. For maybe the first few listens I was thinking that actually those few songs I'd heard were the only really excellent tracks on there - the rest being ok, but nothing special.

Listen on tho!

Really worth it - some bits are growers, but now I am completely in love with this album!



5 out of 5 stars Superb   September 23, 2008
No need for a long winded review! Superb album, hope the follow up is just as good!


5 out of 5 stars oracular spectacular - sooo true!!   September 22, 2008
This album is amazing! A fresh new sound that deserves to be listened to, its going to be hard for them to improve but from listening to this album their musical talents shine through and i have no doubt that they will provide great music for years to come! their music is like a new modern version of the 70's, 'electro 70's' music!
if you want something new and you're a real music fan - you will love this!



3 out of 5 stars Not bad for a debut.   September 10, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

As an avid consumer of live music, maybe I made a mistake in experiencing the trippy tones of this band by watching their Reading set on the BBC website. They sounded terrific and had 3 top songs, and a 4th (The Handshake) that started off great but turned out to be a bit of an anti-climax with a melody destroying chant at the end of the song.
However, what I heard from the other 3 songs persuaded me to get their debut album only to leave me feeling decidedly flat. Their live sound is far far superior to their studio sound. The songs just don't make me feel as good.
Another disappointment is the rather lacklustre and 'muddy' sound to an otherwise super tune, called 'Electric Feel.' On the band's Myspace page they have a different mix, which is lighter and hits the spot perfectly.
This is a band I would definately go and see live. As for buying their follow up album without hearing it first, that's another question.
However, if you haven't heard them live and have no idea how good they sound as a live band, then you can buy this cd and won't have anything to judge it against. Two thirds of the songs are indeed good songs so I'm sure it'll still be a worthwhile purchase. I just prefer their live sound.



5 out of 5 stars Wow...... best album i've listened to in a long while!   July 15, 2008

Well, well, well, where have MGMT come from? They seem to have just popped up out of no man's land!

I have to say, when I first heard them on Radio 1 I was a little unsue. But after seeing them live and listening to their album I just can't stop listening to it.

The whole album is filled with hits, Time To Pretend, Weekend Wars, Electric Feel and Kids to name a few but to be honest I should really list them all!

They kind of remind me of The Who!

Amazing band, amazing album - a must buy
