MGMT - Congratulations


Holy fuck is that a cat surfing?

Anyway, this is an album by MGMT. What does that even stand for? MOstly Gay Manloving Tfaggots?

I'm listening to this album right now, and it's like, shitty surfgarage rock or something. Because we didn't get enough of that shit in the 60s, right? Give me a fuckin break."Brian Eno" is like this giant clusterfuck of reverb, organ and screeching. I actually had an organ once. I sold it. Because life is hard and you have to make sacrifices. These fuckholes in this shit ass band obviously don't know anything about hard work and sacrifice. They sound like a bunch of spoiled little shits who just learned how to make music. HEY LETS PLAY THE SAME LITTLE BASSLINE OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND WAIL OVER IT."

Did I mention that the singer sounds like the Arcade Fires? FUck that.

Another standout, "Kids" is some kind of techno shit. I bet they thought they were being so diverse, putting these different genres together, but it's just fucking BAD. Doesn't fit with the other songs at all.

By the way, fuck synthesizers. All these fuckin hipsters thinking they're gonna be so clever and ironic, bringing back cheesy synths to play in their shitty indie rock. There's a reason no one likes '80s music now, and that reason is synthesizers. Stick to guitars like real men you whiny little shits.

Final score:
1.7/10

  1. Yes, that is a cat surfing. MGMT stands for Management, not "MOstly Gay Manloving Tfaggots". I hope you actually lived back in the 60s, since you say "we didn't get enough of that shit in the 60s". No one cares about YOUR life, so don't talk about it while reviewing an album. They do know about hard work and sacrifice, that's why they sacrificed fans when turning from pop to just psychedelic. They didn't just discover music, they've been together for about 8 years, and have been playing instruments since they were little. You should watch some interviews. Maybe you are the one who just discovered music? What's wrong with sounding like another and? Isn't that why you probably like your shitty music? Because they all sound the same? Kids isn't techno, it's synth pop. And at the time they were converting from that genre to psychedelic. Maybe hipsters WILL change music. Maybe you need to grow up, build a bridge, and get the fuck over it. And the actual reason why this "no one" likes 80s music is probably because.. WE ARE NOT IN THE FUCKING 80s. And they DO play guitars. I hope next time you give a review, it's actually fucking accurate you piece of trash. Just give up on life. Final Score = Serves you right.

  3. What is the point of having a band if you are going to make songs that sound pretty much the same as those of other bands from years before? Unless you want to be a cover band and play at bars, why bother? There's already mountains of boring music that was made before, why contribute more disposable garbage to the pile?

    Ok, I can't totally hate these guys. They're alright. At the very least they make the kind of background music that isn't bad to hear at hip college parties around the 3am point when everyone is completely trashed but still want to dance but haven't gotten that "third wind" of energy yet. And then someone will stop "Electric Feel" in the middle and put on "Bombs Over Baghdad" or "Rock the Casbah" or "Deceptacon" or "Bizarre Love Triangle" (depending on the ~vibe~) or some other song that people actually genuinely enjoy and forget all about it. In a year or two years time, trust me, you'll find more soulless tripe to get worked up and defensive over before realizing the Talking Heads or someone else already did it better before you were born. Not to say that I'm ruling out good new music actually coming out (because it is happening) but generally a good lot of it is crap. Just like the 80s.

  4. *By that I'm not saying that any of the songs I mentioned are some kind of musical holy grail, just examples of songs that are more fun at parties.

  5. ** Upon further reflection, I came to the conclusion that I was mostly just flabbergasted that someone cares that much about MGMT who is most likely not in the band.

  6. Well, to me, if it weren't for MGMT, I would've have never actually listened to psychedelic music. It took me about 3 months just to actually get into them. They actually allowed me to explore music, and I can thank them for that. I care about them, just as much as any queer Justin Bieber listener would want to fuck the little squirrel. I wont stop listening to them in a few years, instead I will grow on with them. Then only thing I refuse to do, is be a mainstream MGMT fan. I don't like them for poppy songs that you can play at parties, such as Electric Feel. Instead, songs that relax me, like The Handshake. Maybe Congratulations wasn't such a good album, or maybe you just need time to let it grow onto you. Siberian Breaks is a beautiful song, and you probably don't know what you are missing on.

  7. Hahahahahahahahahahaha is this a review ? You're a fucking wanker.
    I feel sorry for your retardation and inability to recognize good music or at least show respect to good/better than you musicians.

    Keep failing at life and keep on listening to shitty german metal and joke bands like LMFAO.

    From an MGMT/Gorillaz fan.

    Bye.
