MGMT “Congratulations”
Standouts - “It’s Working,” “I Found A Whistle,” “Siberian Breaks”
Since MGMT began their meteoric rise to fame, they’ve won fans the world over with their blend of synthesized pop. On the follow-up to their smash hit “Oracular Spectacular,” the guys aimed for a solid album that a listener could get lost in without the release of a single. Their stated intentions make it easy to understand why you won’t find tunes like “Kids” on “Congratulations,” but the guys have created a consistent, enjoyable body of songs that snowball into massive walls of sound.
