The term Oracular Spectacular might not mean much, if anything, at all--it s essentially nonsensical--but that doesn t stop it feeling exactly right. Here is a band that treats dizzy cross-eyed awe and a vast bounding sense of sonic weightlessness as their yardstick, jostling to surpass themselves on a track-by-track basis and aiming for the musical equivalent of performing somersaults in tye-dye t-shirts off the rings of Jupiter. MGMT seemingly submit this debut album as an application to acquire and even supersede The Flaming Lips previously uncontested mantle as spiritual leaders of over-sized Technicolor psychedelic-indie with a soul, weird but not so weird that swelling crowds and even flirtations with the charts aren t a foregone conclusion. Time to Pretend opens and sets a tone for the record, producer David Fridmann (Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev) providing a familiar expanse for them to riff across with bull s-eye synths, massive drums and their twist on the template--retro 80s e...

#Flippin right good! (2008-11-26) Sorry for this short and lazy review - which is no reflection of my feelings for this album. Oracular Spectacular is superb, MGMT is superb. And going for a bargain price at the time of writing too!

#Let s Go To Frinton (2008-11-14) See how they prance on the beach. Look at the hippy s long pink shorts. Aren t they cheeky? Good little pop number this - will never set the world alight, but a fun-filled head-nodder. Pop should be fun I think! This is as much fun as when Michael Jackson cut down a tree with his hand, or when Madonna wore coffee filters on her boobies.

#Magical (2008-11-08) Truely amazing debut. Stand out tracks are The youth , time to pretend , the kids and eletric feel The whole album can be listened to again and again as the track never seem to get old. BUY IT NOW!!!!

#One of the best in recent years! (2008-11-06) This album is spectacular! There isn t one track I don t like & what I find amazing is that it keeps me intrigued even after listening to it a hundred times. There is so much to discover on this album & I enjoy the way they have clearly drawn inspiration from various older artists, but innovatively added a modern twist to it & definitely made it their own. Great live band too! I would recommend this to anyone!

#Not bad (2008-10-06) Best way to descibe this album is,the first half is good the other half is pritty rubbish!. The first six of these songs are defenately worth a listen but the other four are just fillers but considering I got this CD for six quid Im pritty happy!.
