The reix of Kids is terrible..... absolutely terrible

Sure that's not a Justice remix (as in remixed by Justice).

Soulwax have done a decent remix of Kids.

Like the original so, though it is marginally better than 'Electric Feel'.

This is what i said earlier; meaning Justice have remixed Kids.


All the remixes i've heard so far are pretty terrible, even less longevity that the originals. Still MGMT were a decent band for the summer.

That remix is by JAPATTACK and not Justice.

Anyway..... MGMT, not sure what to make of them myself.

Have only heard "Kids" of Fifa. The rest of the album worth a listen ye?

Xavi6

It's worth a listen once yeah. After that you might go back to the first few songs (except 'Electric Feel' which is crap) but the second half of the album is awful.

i disagree - I like the whole thing, but don't expect it all to be like "kids" and "time to pretend" - much of it is more in a 60s/70s psychedelic style

We went out clubbing for the UCC com hunt on monday, when the music stopped everyone sat down on the dancfloor and started chanting the tune to kids for a good ten minutes, and the langers never played it. The chanting was unreal though

It's good, not fantastic, not crap, just...good.

Kids, Time to Pretend and the Youth are my favourites, but I agree with the criticisms about the 2nd half of the album, there's nothing to it whatsoever.

bah - you're all wrong. "Of moons, birds and monsters" is the best track on it. Listen to the guitar at the end....

Agree completely. Most over rated band around at the minute.

Only picked this up yesterday. I've played it two or three times. I had heard Time To Pretend and Electric Feel before and bought the album on the back of them. I recognised Kids as well once I heard it.

I like it so far, not mad about it but it's good. To me, they sound like a mix of Bowie, Prince and Basement Jaxx.

mada999

some good tunes on the album i think...

time to pretend, kids, electric feel and weekend wars.. not too bad

Daysha

Let me revise my original statement. After more extensive listening, I was probably a tad harsh on the 2nd half of the album

Future Reflections is still nothing really, but Of Birds... and the Handshake have grown on me a lot more. And Time to Pretend seems to be getting better the more I listen to it.

Overall I'd give it a solid 8/10. 9/10 for the 1st half, 7/10 for the 2nd.

GSpoon

love love love this band! Goin to see them next week, cant wait!

there have some really good tracks apart from the singles on both the LP and EP.
I really like Indie Rokkers off the EP, great tune:pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac:

But I will have to wait and see what the second album is like before I make a proper judgement.............:cool:

This is no time to pretend young lady, though on the off chance there is that electric feel between you guys I hope you have great fun making kids.

I don't understand the love for Electric Feel though. I'd put it down as one of the worst songs on the album

I have no idea what this means but I have 3 better letters to describe MGMT:

DavidLive

Not all fads are a bad thing though.

Either way, loving them.
I hope they come back to Dublin, and I get my hands on the tickets, because this time I couldn't, and loved them even more since the summer festivals they were at.

"Jump, Jump"
"You've got to get down now... Can't be doing that..."

Daysha

Yeah I only found out they were playing here after I got into them and after tickets went on sale. Must keep my ears out for a return, even though they are meant to be pretty ****e live.

I didn't think they were bad. It is more of a crowd thing though, true enough, with the fans interacting more than witnessing the spectacle of the guys on stage live. Whilst at a festival for example, guests jumped around, sung the words, and basically enjoyed the beautiful music they were making.

I would say The O2 might have them. Who knows? I would love if they did. Size is the only thing though against them. Unless they have done similar gigs of that size?

i can never get Electric Feel out of my head, they're so catchy

eeew no, who'd want to see them in the o2?

Shane St.

Can't wait for the new album now!!

Shane St.

What does everyone think of the new album?

WatchWolf

It is astounding.

After multiple listenings, I think it might even be better than Congratulations.

Stompbox

Yeah, I'm liking it so far. Alien Days and Introspection are the highlights so far.
