Why do you hate MGMT - Page 2

Alex's Trip · 12.09.2008, 11:41 PM

The album is hit or miss for me.

Time To Pretend, Kids, Electric Feel, and several others are great tunes, but the rest are just boring.

I like them; they seem refreshingly intelligent and self-conscious for a blatantly sold-out pop band, and they aren't trying to act like a subculture. There are a few songs I don't like ("Metanoia" was about 11 minutes too long), but for the most part I like them. Also, I fucking love their music videos. I've been feeling there's not enough retro-shroom aesthetic lately.

"The Youth" is my favorite song, for some reason.

This is better than the original.

i think they suck pretty bad. what makes them even worse, to me, is the fans they attract. especially the fans here in williamsburg.

What kind of fans do they attract uhler?

Dude that looks like ravers. Maybe they only listen to the version I posted.

I should have put "they" instead of "that."

MGMT are the headlining act of the 2009 Generic Electro Bands Festival.

Will this girl be there too?

The feeling while flying mid-air during a double bounce is one of stolen air; you arent quite propelled with the mysterious potential of your own bounce.

They have a few annoyingly catchy songs. I'll probably forget about them completely in a few years.

zedius · 12.10.2008, 11:28 AM

Ok then, since so many of you only like the singles, have you heard the stuff from their previous albums? Just Becuz? Hot love drama?

I like to rock.

SuperCreep · 12.10.2008, 12:43 PM

I haven't heard of 'em before this year.

Green Magnesium · 12.10.2008, 08:22 PM

Didn't know they had other albums. Only heard about them 3 months ago.

This video for Electric Feel using the animatronic band from Show Biz Pizza is pretty cool.

zedius · 12.12.2008, 01:49 PM

The actual video has the show biz pizza band in it as well, and I just noticed it also has two characters from a fan made video for "kids". I think it's pretty cool to put youtube fan video characters in your official video.

Glice · 12.12.2008, 02:20 PM

There's a Soulwax remix of kids. Here's a recording of it. Sounds amazing to me. Apparently there's a Pet Shop Boys remix as well that the record company aren't releasing.
