Oracular Spectacular

I wish this album was more like the highlight, kids

I find the seemingly random tempo changes annoying.

Was ok. Happy it finally ended....

I find this quite annoying. But I always found Electric Feel and Kids irritating. Kind of liked Pieces of What.

I don't know how to be positive about this album. I knew some songs before and those songs had a nice melody. However the lyrics were in my opinion pretentious and unintersting. Sometimes the mixing of sounds was quite awful.

The two well known tracks are really good, I don't have much time for the rest really

I like 1 song

Yawn

I is not a bad album. But a bit common to me. It is not realy speaking to me.

Some interesting songs, not my cup of tea...

Didn't finish it, got bored

Overhyped. A couple of really great singles, but that's pretty much it.

Kind of interesting but nothing special.

Music is too busy with lack of memorable tune. The tracks from MGMT's 2005 album could easily be mistaken for any track on Oracular Spectacular. I guess if you appreciate the style then the differences would be apparent. It's not the worst thing that I've listened to so... 2/5 (?)

Of moons , birds & monsters… It’s the only one I love. Die anderen Songs sind leider gar nicht nach meinem Geschmack. Sorry!

Lamest album ever created.

def not my thing

Back in the day when I first heard the singles I just thought they sounded like pretentious dicks pretending to be hippies. Roll on almost 20 yrs and with being more mature I’ll give them a proper listen. My opinion hasn’t changed, the singles are the stand out tracks, the rest are just ; wishy washy. Absolutely no substance to this album

I was super excited when I saw this albun. Electric feel has been a favorite in a lot of my playlist and never really listened to any other mgmt song. Sadly I was quite dissapointed. The first half of the album fell flat for me, and the ony other song I liked was kids. I did "like" the other songs but more as background music and would not regularly listen to them.

Brzmi bardzo staro - produkcja wydaje się naprawdę płaska i amatorska, zagospodarowanie pola stereo jest irytujące (celowali w ten vintage podział na lewe i prawe ucho z początków nagrań taśmowych), dobór brzmień jest fatalny, jakiekolwiek obiecujące próby stworzenia atmosfery (warstwy synthów brzmią poprawnie, choć nierewolucyjnie to zwyczajnie dobrze) po prostu rozpadają się przy zderzeniu z nieadekwatnie agresywnymi i wyrwanymi z kontekstu bębnami. Aranżacje wydają się czasem powołane do życia przed sztuczną inteligencję, ciężko przebrnąć przez te utwory i nie czuję z nich zamysłu ani próby opowiedzenia historii. Kaszana

Banal (adjective): describes something so ordinary, unoriginal, or predictable that it becomes boring or lacks any fresh perspective. It is typically used to criticize things that are cliché, hackneyed, or overused to the point of being uninteresting

I understand why people like this, just... its not for me.

Just really don't feel it. I was looking forward to another listen.

couldnt get through one song

No es de mi agrado, aburrido, solo conozco 2 canciones Time to Pretend y Kids, después aburrido...

I'm not a fan of the vocals... Favorite songs: Electric Feel

Really not a very good record

ASS

Another HORRIBLE synth pop electronica piece of trash. 0 stars really needs to be an option.

This was terrible. Unoriginal, vacuous and annoying. I’ve tried to be objective - it’s executed well enough, but for me it can’t be more than a 1.

It's a defently no for me, it doesn't my taste... the sound it's too show for me

awful.

A waste of a few catchy riffs.

No thanks.

Time to pretend: lowkey sad 🧍🏻‍♀️

Hate them

Hated it

Derivative and uninteresting.

Låter vansinnigt daterat nu den här "bloggelektron" uppblandat med indie från 20ish år tillbaka. Jag ska erkänna det fanns grejer där som jag gillade...Då! Få saker har åldrats lika illa. MGMT var inte en av dom jag gillade då och är det verkligen inte nu heller. Musik som borde stannat på bloggarna, funnits där i några flykyiga ögonblick för att sen glömmas för all evighet. Det finns några helt ok poplåtar men samtidigt saknar dom helt popkvalité på nåt vänster. Jag nöjer där och går och lyssnar på nysläppt popmusik med Four Tet, Suede och Saint Etienne istället. En etta som sniffar på godkänt!

I am mad at this stupid website for making me listen to this

Not my thing.

not for me

One or two tracks hold up. 1.5/5

Whiny crap

Poor

Shit

Hollow wannabe Rolling Stones tracks with a farting synth on top. Such garbage that you half expect Oscar The Grouch to pop out of it.

The singles were, I suppose, the sound of the summer nearly 20 years ago. The rest of the album is pretty forgettable.

Horrible

cal

Entirely boring and derivative shit. The 2005-2015 decade of modern pop is dead to me. Zero stars.

mhhh

It's an album that existed. If I was another person back when it was released, it might have really connected with me. Handshake and Future Reflections had musical moments I liked, the rest of it I either knew too well, or didn't care to know. Sorry MGMT, I'm not your audience. <3

Not my bag at all, sorry.

no es para mi

Not great. Background music at best.

Harmless farts

I'd heard of MGMT but don't remember listening to them before. Now that I have I hope to never have to again. There are no redeeming qualities to this album. Boring and uniquely grating

This whole album sounds like the same song...I'm old!!!

Other than the two songs on it everyone knows, it was bab. The whole thing didn’t feel like a cohesive album. They were clearly trying to be cool and subversive. 🙄

BRNG In their defense, I don't believe I heard a lot of their stuff back in the '00s Then again, very little good stuff was coming out in the '00s So, yeah, not for me. Amazed at how many listens their songs get, 1 tune at 425 million, another at 768 million, and a third showing off at 807 million If only Mink DeVille would get that kind of attention... but no, because that is not what makes the young kids happy...

Bein reinhören finde ich nichts was mich sofort packen würde.

Nope. Definitely not for me.

even the big hit has only a hook going for it. never listened to the lyrics before, and now regret it. 'everybody get sad and DANCE!' is one of my favourite silly little tropes & I set a low bar to clear for that kind of song. this doesn't have enough feeling to even sad dance. music: hated. (⌐■_■)

Empty Millennial Optimism was very similar to Empty Boomer Optimism eh? These guys have so many lyrics about how like, A Change Is Coming, but none of it articulates what the change is, and if you try to extrapolate it from the vibe of the album, it sounds like the change is “Doing cocaine with some cool girls and talking about Change”. Terrible.

🤮 Disappointed we can't do negative stars.

Not for ne

Party rockin pop

1. time to pretend - 1.5 2. uueekend uuarz - 1 3. youth - 1 4. feel - 0 5. kidz - 1 6. 4th dimenzion - 0 7. piecez - 1 8. monzterz - 1.5 9. handzhake - 0 10. reflectionz - 0

Gibt mir gar nichts. Meist langweilig, oft sogar nervige Synthsounds mit Kinderstimmen. Weg damit.

Boring, unnecessary to hear.

Meh

Not my type of music

Nicht mein Ding.

Not great for me. Could not listen to much of it.

nix für mich

probably tolerable if you, like many of these other reviewers, were 13 when it came out and listened to it a lot. i was 13 when it came out, but i did not

Meh

Nope. I want the time back I wasted listening to this.

Nope.

FCKN SHT

Didn't do much for me.

Me ha gustao

Not ly cup of tea

Not my vibe

Nope - not my thing.

dull

Not my cup of tea. His voice goes right through me.

Not a fan

You've got to be kidding me. NO. This is my first album and it might be my last.

Really couldn't be bothered to listen to all of this, it's very poor. I got as far as Kids, which is a good song, but not this version: but there's an amateur couple on Youtube who do an acoustic version 10 x better than this. Rubbish.

Did not care for the sound quality...maybe that's their thing but wasn't appealing to me.

Pretty garbage
