Mystery Science Theater 3000.
04/MGMT - Congratulations
Like the best adventures in psychedelic rock, MGMT’s Congratulations is a fantastical journey to some place else. A place where soul searching, controlled chaos and imagination reign supreme. For album number two, MGMT relax and feel at home in the rapturous tics and soundscapes of old school psychedelia that run rampant throughout this album’s sonic flights of fancy. From the brightly wacky cover art, to the mid album 12 minute “Siberian Breaks”,right on down to the creative sprawl present in the characters and music we are introduced to/come in contact with over the course of each song, Congratulations rides a tidal wave of experimental adventure in a nicely packaged and richly produced fashion. An “ORACULAR SPECTACULAR” if you will that expands its mind, and yours, like an epic work of science fiction. Congratulations, indeed.
