I won’t lie, I bloody disliked MGMT when I first heard them. I think part of me refused to believe they were good just because the music was featured on Skins. Lame I know, but I hate Skins.
I’ve had a weird day, and it’s got weirder. I agreed to finally listening to MGMT’s album. It’s quite possibly the best decision I’ve made this month. I’ve finally accepted just how great this band are and I wouldn’t mind seeing them live in November. 2 days before my birthday in Birmingham. I bet I don’t go. Bugger.
So yes, the album. Time To Pretend is not the best track. In fact, all of the tracks are beautiful and kind of “trippy.” I don’t know I used the word “trippy” I really don’t, but I’m not sure what words to use. I’m in awe of this creation that I’ve accepted into my life. It’s like..I’ve denied something so vital for a long time. I’m going to treasure this for a long time. I hope all non believers follow my path and embrace MGMT. I didn’t mean to make this sound like I’ve found some kind of religion.
Please please check out MGMT, you probably already have and I’m the only person to have been a wanker and left it a long time. But good things come to those who wait…or something like that.
