as a huge mgmt fan i wasn't sure about some of the songs at first because they felt aggressively 80s, but i found myself with most of them stuck in my head at various points lately. The songs i was wary of are so much bigger than i initially thought, especially reffering to me and michael and TSLAMP. James definitely my favorite non-single song on the album!

Me And Michael slowly overtaking LDA for my favorite track, but everything is pretty much gold, I even love James. Great review melon, fine score.

[@luxmar1]

Fantano, the term “works out too much” is a reference to the all-too-common phrase of “yeah, it just didn’t work out” when in relation to relationships.

[@demonslayermk235]

It even says so in the song but words can have more than one meaning.

[@MrBeastknows]

Pretty sure he understood that seeing as Anthony literally said "this song seems to be straightforward about a break up." Aka "didn't work out." Not sure where else he would be able to draw that conclusion seeing as the song only references the break up through "the only reason we never worked out..." so yeah.

[@MacabreSlob]

MGMT really have left their stamp on neo-psychedelia and this album confirms that. If I even found MGMT as a departure from their usually concise composition, felt like the coy and understated retreading of their inspirations and whimsy on this album is the best they've done. I'd say with some degree of certainty that MGMT will go down as one of my all-time favorite music acts.

[@nob2243]

Track "TSLAMP" did remind me of Pet Shop Boys, although not from their Behaviour period. I would say, it bears many similarities to the song "Domino Dancing" off their Introspective LP (and which was their last big hit, by the way).

[@finestcustard5647]

God this album is amazing. I love this and their first two albums so so so much. Haven’t really listened to their third album but man. Bangers

[@fizwiz81]

9/10 this album and the context behind it are very interesting throughout. For the most part it is a short punchy ride from beginning to end. I like the warping of pop sounds of the past, and I think there are so many solid moments on here with really good instrumentation, and lyrically though it is sometimes cheesy, like in Tslamp, it is still fun to listen to as there is so much going into it. The album is like this pretty consistent with that. The vocal performance on each track matches the tone very well, and the title track is the best track on the album, with an infectious chorus to boot. The biggest drawback for me is I feel like it doesn't finish As strong as it starts. Specifically the last two songs. They aren't super bland or bad, but it's clear that they don't have as much to offer as the warbly 80s inspired jam opener, or a song like days that got away. I just wanna share my opinion. I haven't watched the review so let's see if me and melon thought the same of this album

Was giving the Bowie album Scary Monsters (and super creeps) and realizing how much of a love letter the motifs on this album pay homage to that classic

Amazing review of this album, although I really would have liked to hear your thoughts on "One Thing Left to try" that song is my absolute favorite. MGMT have found themselves, it takes elements from all their albums and just hit the bullseye. I love Congratulations but this seriously is in contention for the top spot. .

I so badly wanted to know your thoughts on One Thing Left to Try, it's possibly my favorite track. The vocals and lyrics are chillingly emotional to me.
