What I like about MGMT is not only because their music is awesome. But because they play their music. They composed their music with instruments and not with fucking programs
@Ben1Sandler They are not saying they are cool...They are just saying how can you say you love a band if you only listen to 1-3 of their songs when they have 20-30 other songs....
mgmt are great, period. the hits are good, and they've expanded in a more psychedelic genre. which made me love them even more. fuck the haters, i like the band regardless of anyone else's opinion =)
All the little girls loving MGMT "sooooo much" make me not want to like them. Still, I can't help it. mgmt rock, event though i don't think they are as great live as they are on record.
@MacRuscickMusic IDK, MGMT is my favorite band, and i think they are just as good as floyd, but they need to get better at guitar solos to compare with floyd, because thats what floyd is basically. I hope they work on that for the next album, because their song writing is already amazing
@karlssonlicious Watch any live concerts, he does. Theres a lot of times where Andrew stops singing and Ben keeps pretending to sing, and you dont hear anything
The truth is this band doesn't give a FUCK about their fame, and it's so refreshing.
You can tell the difference between Andrew and Ben, and let's say, oh.....Lady Gaga? These guys are guys that you would wanna smoke with, and then listen to their music.
Lady Gaga on the other hand....that'd be a quickie that might involve duct tape.
They are great this is my favorite song on the album other than Pieces of What. BTW all the people, alot of their lyrics only make sense in their minds plus, they range from alternative electronica to folk rock. Greatest band of our time
i will say though, for a live perfomance i find it terrible editing, i understand its pretty basic compaired to those huge live shows, but when the guitar solo comes up, just focus's on the drummer majority of the time, things like that, but o well, great band.
ok, so i dont know if im the only one who noticed this but on the oracular spectacular album the lyrics say a "beach that doesnt quiver anymore" but on the cd it sounds like he says "beast" and on live performances it seems he either says "beach" or "beast" whatever he's feeling at the moment i guess. i dont know. did anyone else notice that?
funny i talked about this though because 10-11 sec stands out haha!

I DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT MGMT BUT I NOTICE THEY CHANGED THEIR STYLE FOR THEIR FIRST LP ALBUM, MORE FOLKY, 60s , JUNKY MUSIC. ALTHOUGH THEY HAD KIDS AND TIME TO PRETEND THOSE WERE SONGS THEY HAVE COMPOSED BEFORE , MORE ELECTRONICA, WHY DID THEY CHANGED TO THIS 60S REVIVAL STYLE ???? SOMEONE KNOWS ??? IS JUST A QUESTION, I AM NOT CRITISIZING, ALSO I DONT KNOW IF I AM RIGHT ABOUT MY CONTENTION.
The truth is this band is doing shit pretty smart. They are attracting a young crowd because of how they are, but i swear to god they are bringing back a style that hasnt been around for a long long time. This and of moons birds and monsters. people like it. so props.
i agree with fernybrooks.i mean yeah, MGMT are pretty awesome, but come on, to comparethem to lennon and mccartney- posibly the greatest composers of all time. it's still a little early for that but they're still young and progressing.
oh, and the drummer looks real to me since i'm entitled to my opinion too.
i believe Andrew has the talent (please don't slam me) and musical genious equal to John Lennon & Neil Young....he's so freakin amazing.. so is ben. they are my fave new band.
i agree with racinfancali, though its a little early to compare them to lennon/mccartney and young. but born out of their time? no way, if everyone thinks like that, then there will never be a new generation of music as good as this.
hey i'm a fan from when U2 were still christian rock band like 80-81. i don't dump my old time faves cuz they are getting older and one thinks he's god and they are sooooooo commercial.
i also wouldn't dump mgmt ever. and these guys will be as big as beatles or u2 given half a chance. i'm a loyal fan sorry!!!!
Dude you're whack! They're lovely. DESTROYS the song? That word's a bit too strong, I think. How could he destroy what they so beautifully created? Nah..
Don't get me wrong Brightsleep, Ben is an amazing musician, and yea.. i guess "destroy" was too harsh, but I think Andrew just sounds better without the vocal help of Ben. But i guess everyone has their own opinions...
love this song
