Yo, this album is really good! There's a wee bit of fluff (the song Me and Michael is actually complete middle of the road synth pop toss and it's funny that Empire of the Sun got mentioned in this thread because this song sounds like something they'd end up farting out) but on the whole there's a lot to enjoy here. The amusingly energetic bop of anti-exercise anthem She Works Out Too Much, the extremely Ween-esque pitched up guitar solo on the wonderfully woozy TSLAMP, the extended outro jam of Days That Got Away, and that's not even taking into account the two lead singles, which are both fucking excellent.
They've done a great job of mixing the pop shimmer of Oracular Spectacular and the prog/experimental leanings of Congratulations into a what is a very rewarding listen - I'm on my third spin of this album already today and am finding myself taken in by bits I'd not clocked before. I've already mentioned Ween, but this certainly is a pretty brown album. I'm also getting hints of Ariel Pink (on James) and King Gizzard, which proves they've managed to up their game to ride the wave with today's modern psych-pop high-rollers, but still putting out a record that sounds distinctly like that great MGMT sound of their first two albums. I'm very impressed with this.
