MGMT's new album is free to listen at their site. If you haven't yet, do take a listen and post your thoughts on it.
It has a weird 60s feel that Oracular Spectacular lacks, and it's much more consistent, definitely an album to listen from start to end. Favorite tracks at the moment are Siberian Breaks (12 minutes long trippy song that takes you on a journey, reminds me in a way of Mastodon's The Czar) and Congratulations (very "recomforting" and relaxing song, perfect way to close the album).
The abscense obvious singles (like Kids and Time to Pretend on Oracular Spectacular) are probably going to push away the more casual listeners, but makes for a rewarding experience for those that will listen to the whole album.
I give the album a 4.5 out of 5.
