CD Review: MGMT, Congratulations

MGMT: Congratulations

by Ming Wong - Burnaby North Secondary, Burnaby BC May 10, 2010

4 Stars

A psychedelic and mystical journey to embark upon.

Brooklyn-based MGMT takes you on a dreamy journey with its second album, interweaving flashes of mad brilliance, as heard in "Flash Delirium," with pensive moments. Some might say it’s trippy, others might find it to be experimental, but it’s definitely the band’s own mystical sound. To those disappointed by the lack of upbeat dance-y songs like previous hits "Time to Pretend or Kids," don’t worry – this is an album that will grow on you. MGMT is as eclectic as ever, but as their opening track indicates, "It’s Working."
