This album was a really enjoyable listen!! Mgmt's debut, Oracular Spectacular, that was intended as an attempt of mockery on modern pop music but ironically ended up creating 3 of the most popular dance tunes of 2008. The themes throughout the album stayed focused on youth, growing up, rebellion, and how it felt for their childish dreams of fame and fortune to come true as adults. Overall this album made me feel very pumped and I'm glad that I had the opportunity to discovery it, although it did disappoint me to hear that mgmt didn't particularly love the album themselves.

All i can say is i think townsend was right, this album wouldve been better as a rock operatic. Behind blue eyes is the only song that I found really good. Although there were sections that I enjoyed throughout the rest of the album, I couldn't see myself coming back to any of the other songs anytime soon. The main reason being that I didn't love the lyrics or vocals in many sections. Therefore this is not my favourite album, but I can see why it is enjoyable for others.

IT FUCKING OPENS WITH LIKE A ROLLING STONE. Automatic 3 before I even hear the rest I fear. Okk I liked a lot of these songs, they are nice to listen to and controversial as it is I quite like listening to bob singing. Therefore I think I definitely would listen to this album in future. It is both good for background noise because of the familiar nice folk acoustic guitar playing but also great to listen to critically while reading the lyrics and analysing the deeper meanings and politics that is no doubt present. I think it might be a 4? I fear I'm being too lenient in these ratings...

Great. Loved it. Perfect for studying to. I wanna listen to more of this. Long songs without lyrics. Just some beautiful jazz compositions and improvisations :)))

I really really liked this!! I didn't get much chance to listen to it all but everything I heard I loved. There was even a song on it that I'd already been listening to 'here comes your man'. Definitely gonna reach for this album in the future

It was alright, there were some things I liked and some things I didn't. Probablyyy won't be listening to this very often

Pretty cool, some songs sounded good but some sounded very similar. To an extent I really liked the talking and voice recordings but some of them went on a bit too long. Mught have to listen again to decide for sure how I feel

Pretty cool

Yippe!! Getting this album on blue Monday made my life so much better. Easiest 5 stars ever. Love you elliott

Pretty cool at parts, pretty mind-numbing at others.

Could not make myself listen to another old man British rock band

I liked ittt. I gotta listen to more led zeppelin fr. Very cool sound

This is super chill. I love neill young always

Super super sick. Never listened to senegalese music before, this is why I love this app ‼️🔥⭐️

This is one that I thoroughly enjoyed. They had a very fresh, live kind of sound to them. I've never heard of them before but I'll definitely be revisiting in future.

Pretty sick, some cool sounds and unique moments

Very sick. I knew some of these before but I'd never listened to the album outright. I definitely found some new bangers. And loved all the bon iver and other features!!

Super sick, definitely adding some of those to my playlist. (I should rlly be discussing the actual music and music musical terms... I am beginning to realise how limited my adjectives are... )

Nice

Super sick. I gotta hear some more of this guy!!

Liked it pretty cool. One song I already really liked. Lots of potential to love. But also I think one that most people would hate.. not me however so I guess who cares.
