MGMT - Self-Titled

Neo-psych outfit MGMT returns with a fuzzy new album that's got plenty of odd moments, but too few memorable ones.

MGMT- "Congratulations" ‡ VIDEO

Dunno why, but there was a lotta MGMT hate on my favorite albums of 2010 (so far) video a while back. I'm confused because I have no idea how any fan of rock or pop could hate any album with this song on it. It's one of the best centerpieces I've heard on an LP all year. Getting away from the song, I love that this video manages to encapsulate images both endearing and depressing with nothing but sand dunes and an alien/flightless bird/puppet/creature/thing. I almost shed a tear. -
