Our Review

On MGMT’s hugely successful debut, Oracular Spectacular, they declared, “This is our decision, to live fast and to die young.” Luckily they stuck around long enough to produce another deeply satisfying full-length work, one that feels even more expansive, and dare we say more mature than Oracular — and we mean that only in the best way possible. Rather than stuffing it full of easily digested pop baubles, Congratulations brims and bristles with over-the-top prog-rock and psychedelic space oddities (with both of those genres responsible for the audacious “Siberian Breaks”). There are insightful musings on their own success (“Flash Delirium,” “Congratulations”), and loving musical tributes (“Song for Dan Treacy” effectively conjures the troubled Treacy and his work with the Television Personalities; “Brian Eno” is a pinwheeling nod to the great musician, with a slight Bowie flavor). Recorded with Sonic Boom of Spacemen 3, and again with Dave Fridmann at the mixing helm, this work — from clever arrangements to the pointed lyrics — is a stellar step in MGMT’s bold career. Congratulations, all around.

"Real" MGMT fans are annoying me (3 stars)
I, like many other people I am sure, discovered MGMT with one of their 3 "hit" songs. The first time I heard Electric Feel I was sucked in immediatley. That is just a fantastic song. I bought all of Oracular Spectacular and really thought it was a fantastic album and not just because of Kids, Electric Feel, and Time to Pretend. This album, however, is just different, as it should be and as would be expected. You don't want to m

Siberian Breaks (5 stars)
Some of the reviews on here frustrate me. "Kids," "Time to Pretend," and "Electric Feel" are not the songs that most accurately represent MGMT's style. They were popularized as singles, and, yes, a large fan base was developed based on those songs alone. However, MGMT's true sound is better represented by songs such as "Weekend Wars" and "Of Moons, Birds, and Monsters." This album expands

Biography

Formed: 2002 in Brooklyn, NY
Genre: Alternative
Years Active: '00s, '10s

Finding an unlikely middle point between Suicide's hostile, proto-electro punk art noise and the sardonic, pop-friendly sound of the Flaming Lips, MGMT started as electroclash musical terrorists but quickly grew into an eclectic, brainy pop group with psychedelic overtones. MGMT first formed in 2002, during Ben Goldwasser and Andrew Van Wyngarden's freshman year as art students at Wesleyan University in Middletown, CT. The band was initially known as the Management, and its shows consisted mostly...
