It just came out on the 9th. It's very subdued, comparatively, but it still has all the weird groove that they like to put in Gorillaz albums.

EDIT: Picture wasn't showing up for some reason.
It's a fucking good album ! (Cemetery Gates, I love this track)
I'm listening to "Vulgar Display of Power" right now !

Wow, I almost posted the Plastic Beach album again (can't believe I missed it). Anyway, I'm really groovin to it. Smitenheimer is right, its much more subdued, like they are holding back, and some songs don't work to well, but still a real treat. Good to see the guys (guy) back in action

The classics...
I sometimes forget how good the "oldies" can be, even if not-as-relevant anymore. So good you could slap yo mamma!

Rap songs are a fantastic source of great music. All you have to do is pull up any rap song and then see what it sampled. Here are a couple of songs I found that way:

Ok I seriously can't wait for this
It's the new MGMT album coming out on April 13. Also, I thought I had heard just about everything from these guys but I missed this great 14 minute epic that came off the Time to pretend EP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-ZIPKxqdKA
I'm re-listening to them in preparation for the new album!

You can hear the full album on their website. Ive been listening to it for about 2 weeks.

So far I have to say it's not as good as the previous album. This one's not very diverse, or daring. The surfer-rock vibe of the album cover is shared by the tone of the music throughout the album. Two of the tracks are throwaways (Brian Eno and Lady DaDa's Nightmare). Why are they wasting space on their album with unfunny, unlistenable pop references?

Yea I want the actual album though. Mostly I listen to stuff on my 30 minute commute to work.
I heard that it wasn't as good as their debut, but I also think that their last album had a few throwaways too. At least two songs towards the end that were just forgettable. But I do hate pop references so that sucks.

Word. The whole thing's boring, if you ask me. I loved their last one, and was surprised by this newest effort: first, that it was even out; second, that it was such a misstep.
The two standout tracks for me, that I always listen to when I put the album on, are It's Working, and Flash Delirium (which has a hilarious and bizarre music video on the site, btw). The others are pretty meh.
As for the throwaway tracks on Oracular Spectacular, the only one I skip is Weekend Wars. The rest of that album is gold, in my opinion. Especially the last few (give The Handshake a chance to get moving, and it's great).

By popular songs, I assume they mean "Kids," but I was never a big fan of that song anyway. Whether or not this album is congruent with the tone of the last album is irrelevant. Plain and simple, this album just isn't very good. Give Brian Eno a whirl and tell me what you think.Scorpio said:

After a few listens of MGMT's Congratulations I'll admit i'm hooked. At first I was a little put off at how different it was, but after giving it a chance and repeated listens I'm totally addicted to it. Walter's right about the throwaway tracks, Brian Eno is just terrible, but the first 6 tacks and the last one are brilliant. I can't wait to get out of work so I can listen to it
