i mean, the last half of LDA was arguably more akin to MEW or prog, the only sub par song is when your small, which only suffers from brainless lyrics, this album has meaningful lyrics, but i can understand ppl not digging the mellow vibes, i just feel that it connects with some people, but i don't want MGMT to ever be "that" band that only wants to recreate oracular, when LDA came out ppl thought, i guess, that they were back to pop, these guys are hippies/geniuses that just dont care. all in i'd say this is a tentative 4.5

There's just nothing interesting or anything catches my ear with the mellow songs. I don't focus on lyrics first when listening to music so maybe that's it but I do really like the first half of this album.

This reminded me of how spectacular Little Dark Age was. This is nice and quaint, but doesn’t touch LDA.
|
| |
Agreed, all they had to do was follow that damn LDA train. No idea why they shifted to this shit.

LDA had the same issue for me, falls off after “Me and Michael” except I do love One Thing Left To Try, but I vote LDA higher because the highs were higher

Agree, Tslamp might be the best on LDA

People on r/indieheads acting like this is one of the most incredible albums they’ve ever heard, I just don’t really get it tbh

The self titled is underrated

Last one was so much better but this one may actually please indieheads more because this will be a hipster pick(compared to it) in no time.

“ Tslamp and James rule”
TSLAMP is kind of annoying, but fine. James doesn’t do much for me.
|

I agree with your take on LDA

Tslamp is solid but James is pretty mid to be honest.

I think LDA sold the kitschy and pastiche way better than this does. TSLAMP, She Works Out too Much, and One Thing Left to Try felt like silly 80’s characatures that exist to sort of satirize 80’s electro pop but it works out. Those songs are fun and catchy and lighthearted. Dancing in Babylon feels like a characature of 80’s power ballads ala Bonnie Tyler but totally succumbs to it and the worst part is that I think it’s trying to be serious. That song is fucking awful. It makes me cringe so much. I’ve tried to give this album multiple listens and it’s grown somewhat, especially people in the streets (my favorite deep cut), but I refuse to listen to dancing in Babylon. Like that’s one of the worst songs ever. Feels like it should be on everything now or something. Yick. I cringe thinking about it.
