MGMT

I left the JP Tent set last year after about 3 songs, they were deathly dull. Caught the end of them overunning ( ) at The Park while waiting for Battles and it seemed a bit better.

I've got that feeling as well. Hope they prove us wrong, lot of potential in that first album

[mario man]

it's arguable that the singles are the weakest tracks on the album

[MartinGooding]

Agreed. Of Moons, Birds & Monsters is an awesome track

Apologies - you're right they released an album called Climbing to New Lows when they were called The Management. Heard it? Any good?

I would agree with must of that. The singles are great, the rest of the album is a bit pants. Haven't seen them live though.

Don't know if they will be announced for Glasto now. V have just announced them to play, and according to Bestival they are only doing 2 UK Festivals this year

thats a bit premature IMO

i'll see if they have a 2nd & 3rd album in them before i start lauding them like that

but i do love oracular and i think time to pretend was the tune of last summer

[b26354]

Well, i think the majoritiy of the album is fantastic!!! Its completely different to whats out there at the minute, and it sounds just brilliant. I know it was premature of me to say they are the best band of the last decade. And maybe the fact you prefer the more commercial music says something about you musical taste? Not saying its a bad thing, just curios.

they were immense at the park

i read an interview with them that said the JP set came really soon after they got off the plane and were knackered- but after walking around the site for a day and a half they got a feel for what glasto was about, and hence the park set blew everyone away!

they were excellent at the forum too

MGMT just announced for V festival, which rules them out of playing Glasto (only doing 2 UK festivals this year, and already announced for Bestival)

[Paul ™]

Yup just said that 5 posts up the page

[Kowalski]

They're playing V (and Bestival), so that means they're probably not playing Glastonbury as they are only supposed to be doing two UK festivals this year.

I've not seen them live, but on record to me they just seem like pleasant background music. It's nice, but I've not found it gripping.

[staggerlee]

It's really not. It's empirical fact they're the only things on it worth repeat listen. Either else just blands together into one underwhleming faux psychadelic snooze
