Did we ever get closure of the meaning of MGMT?

Is this Primal Scream? Only with a better singer. Obv.

Track 8 - Of Moons, Birds and Monsters.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Jan 06, 2020 9:29 pm

They do remind me greatly of Foster the People.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Jan 06, 2020 9:30 pm

I like this one too. I think their strength, when they're not relying on synth hooks, is fey 1960s revivalism.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Jan 06, 2020 9:30 pm

Ooh, there's a bit now that sounds like Kate Bush. gasp

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Jan 06, 2020 9:31 pm

I'd say this is my current fave of the non-singles.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Jan 06, 2020 9:32 pm

This is drifting dangerously close to Prog.

Track 9 - The Handshake.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Jan 06, 2020 9:33 pm

Low-key intro.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Jan 06, 2020 9:34 pm

This is another promising one.

by Nightjar Mon Jan 06, 2020 9:35 pm

I like the piano-y guitar effect.

by Guest Mon Jan 06, 2020 9:35 pm

Sorry, but I'm only half listening to this, it's sorta just there isn't it?

Might grow on my if I listened to it a couple of times... dunno

I won't be listening to it a couple of times. sad yes

by Nightjar Mon Jan 06, 2020 9:35 pm

And some proper drumming.

by Nightjar Mon Jan 06, 2020 9:36 pm

And now, Ladies and gentlemen - TUBLIAR BELLS!!

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Jan 06, 2020 9:37 pm

Last track - Future Reflections.

by Guest Mon Jan 06, 2020 9:38 pm

Quite liked that Handshake one.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Jan 06, 2020 9:39 pm

This one doesn't sound too interesting. It's noticeable how many of the albums we do seem to end with a throwaway track, rather than going for the big finish.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Jan 06, 2020 9:39 pm

Actually, it's got more interesting now.

by Nightjar Mon Jan 06, 2020 9:40 pm

That track was cr*p.
