Music Review - MGMT ‘Oracular Spectacular’ (2008) - 2.5 Stars
A good album should be like good wine – the longer you keep it, the better it becomes. ‘Oracular Spectacular’, on the other hand, is cheap beer – you’ll always drink it if it’s around, but you’d prefer to be drinking something special. ‘Of Moons, Birds & Monsters’ has the most potential. It’s the only song that doesn’t feel like it’s trying to be something else. This album is basically middle-of-the-road, inoffensive, indie-rock, electro-pop. And when the best thing you can say about an album is that you don’t dislike it, it’s tough to really enjoy it.
