It is over.
I feel that was an album whose first half relied heavily on the singles to keep it afloat but its second half was far stronger and more interesting. It is striking, though, how different the two big iconic singles are from the rest of the album.
Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it.

Did we ever get closure of the meaning of MGMT?
Quote :
The band formed under the name The Management and released two demo albums, We (Don't) Care and Climbing to New Lows, under that name; but since the name was already being used by another band, they later changed it to MGMT

Er... That was, inoffensive.
2/5.
But that seems too mean.. I dunno 3/5 seems too high.

What does MGMT stand for anyway?
Michael Gambon & Margaret Thatcher?
Their original name was The Management, so I assume MGMT is an abbreviation of that.

The big hit single that has the trippiest video over.
That was supposed to read, "Trippiest video ever," not, "over."
Let's remind ourselves how that trippy video went:
